At the Ubisoft press conference at E3 2019, there was new information about the movie adaptation of The Division. The film is being produced for the streaming service Netflix and features two real Hollywood stars.
What is it about? During the presentation at E3 2019, Ubisoft briefly touched upon the long-planned film for The Division. Rumors and small bits of information about the planned film have come up repeatedly, but solid details were scarce.
At the press conference, it was officially announced that the Division film would be produced for the streaming platform Netflix. However, a release date has not yet been announced.
Who is involved in the film? Originally, Stephen Gaghan (Syriana) was supposed to take on the role of director. However, he dropped out of the project and was replaced by David Leitch (Atomic Blonde, Deadpool 2).
At the fair, two actors were also announced, who will bring the story of The Division to life: Alongside Jake Gyllenhaal, for whom rumors had been circulating for a while, Jessica Chastain will also take on a role in the film.
However, nothing is known about the characters that the two actors will play so far.
What is the story? The film will apparently closely follow The Division 1. Players find themselves as sleeper agents activated after an epidemic in New York. Many people are severely ill and dying from a virus that spreads through infected banknotes during the Christmas season.
As a member of the Division, players must now prevent the complete collapse of society and restore order to the nearly deserted New York as best as they can. Additionally, it must be uncovered who is behind the virus.
