Jake Gyllenhaal to star in 'The Division'

Actor Jake Gyllenhaal is in talks to star in Ubisoft's movie based on its "Tom Clancy's the Division" video game.

According to sources, Gyllenhaal is also attached to the film as a producer, and the studio is currently looking for a writer to pen the adaptation, reports variety.com.

Ubisoft will package the project, possibly adding one more actor to the mix before taking it out to studios. It currently has "Assassin's Creed" starring Michael Fassbender in post-production at Fox and New Regency, as well as "Splinter Cell" starring Tom Hardy at Paramount.
