Ubisoft Motion Pictures today announced that Academy Award winner Stephen Gaghan will write and direct the upcoming “The Division” film.
Gaghan, the Academy Award winning writer of Traffic was also nominated for Syriana, which is also wrote and directed.
“I’m excited to work with Ubisoft Motion Pictures and collaborate with their team at Massive Entertainment to bring The Division to the big screen,” Gaghan said.
“The game has been an enormous success, in large part due to the visual landscape they created, their vision of a mid-apocalyptic Manhattan. It’s immersive, wonderfully strange, and yet familiar, filled with possibilities. It’s also remarkable to be able to collaborate with Jessica Chastain and Jake Gyllenhaal early in the process. We all feel the story Ubisoft created is more relevant than ever.”
The Division is expected in 2018. Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed is in theatres now.
