Ubisoft’s movie adaptation of The Division with Jake Gyllenhaal may never see the light of day, much to the dismay of fans. Video game movies and TV shows are all the rage these days and it’s hard to imagine that slowing down anytime soon. Ubisoft has made a few attempts at adaptations in the past. Some never saw the light of day, others crashed and burned, and some have been in a state of limbo. One of the lingering titles on the slate is The Division, a film adaptation of the online survival game set in America following a pandemic. There’s no zombies or anything like that, but it did ravage society and turn people into monsters, creating a total collapse in major cities like New York City and Washington D.C.. The film was announced a number of years ago with Netflix as the distributor and Jake Gyllenhaal in the lead role, but it has been quiet ever since. It was expected to start filming in 2022, but it doesn’t seem like that happened.
