Jake Gyllenhaal will be trying his hand at another video game to movie adaptation, with the news (via Variety) that he will produce and star in a Tom Clancy’s The Division movie. The game on which the film will be based was released earlier this year in March, and has already become Ubisoft’s fastest-selling product. So it seems fairly obvious to make a movie adaptation.

Movie adaptations haven’t been doing so well this year though, which isn’t a huge surprise, but The Division might not be such a bad property to try to adapt, what with it being so open to interpretation and with a high sense of realism. Plus Jake Gyllenhaal does have experience of these types of movies, having previously portrayed the leading man in Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. We’ll update you when we hear anything more.
