With one of Ubisoft’s biggest titles Assassin’s Creed making it to the big screen in December most people are already skeptical about another video game movie will flop like others have before. But that hasn’t stopped Ubisoft from trying to remove the embarrassing brand video games have had since the 1980s from films like Super Mario Bros and Mortal Kombat.
Ubisoft has announced that a film based on their latest title The Division will have a film made on it featuring actors Jessica Chastain and Jake Gyllenhaal. And this wouldn’t be Gyllenhaal’s first debut in a Ubisoft titled film, he actually played the protagonist Dastan in the 2010 game-based movie Price Of Persia: The Sands Of Time.

Currently the film is in preproduction and has no official date for when the movie will be out in theatres. And partnered with Freckle Films and Nine Stories, the film seems to have promising backing for when production starts. Stated by the Ubisoft Motion Pictures CEO Gerard Guillemot on the announcement on the film, he says:

“Attaching Jake and Jessica is part of our development philosophy of working closely with top talent from the earliest stages to collaborate on a high quality film.”

With just a taste on what Ubisoft has shown with the new world from the Tom Clancy Universe, it will be pretty interesting to see how the post-apocalyptic world will be implemented to the big screen. But until then, you can get a feel for what Ubisoft has coming for us with the upcoming Assassin’s Creed film that will be in theatres December 21, 2016.
