Ubisoft Is Bringing TOM CLANCY'S THE DIVISION To The Big Screen With Jake Gyllenhaal Starring
It’s only been a few months since Ubisoft’s third-person shooter, Tom Clancy’s The Division, released on shelves to the tune of positive ratings up to $330 million dollars in sales. That’s a huge chunk of money, so it’s reasonable to believe Ubisoft sees enough potential in the property to turn it into a viable feature film with great prospects.
Well, that’s exactly what they’re doing according to a report from Variety and with none other than Southpaw and Nightcrawler star Jake Gyllenhaal starring. The report states that a writer is currently being sought after to pen the script casting Gyllenhaal as an agent of the Strategic Homeland Division, assigned to help rebuild its branch in New York City while investigating the nature of a smallpox outbreak and defending against criminal activity lurking in the background.
This marks the second round for Gyllenhaal in a property developed in part by Ubisoft with the live-action adaptation, Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time, which wasn’t too well received among gaming fans, thus contributing to many a protest from fans decrying Hollywood “ruining games”. I’m sure some of you reading this have seen those arguments, while The Division could very well do for Gyllenhaal what Batman has done for Ben Affleck so far. It’s possible, and I’m curious.
Let’s keep our eyes peeled.
Watch How Jake Gyllenhaal Transforms Into The Lead Role For Boxing Drama, SOUTHPAW!
From director Antoine Fuqua (TRAINING DAY) and writers Kurt Sutter (SONS OF ANARCHY) and Richard Wenk (THE MECHANIC) comes SOUTHPAW – the story of Billy “The Great” Hope, Junior Middleweight Boxing Champion of the World. When tragedy strikes and he loses it all, Billy enters the battle of his life as he struggles to become a contender once again and win back those he loves.
SOUTHPAW Gets An Extended TV Spot
From director Antoine Fuqua (TRAINING DAY) and writers Kurt Sutter (SONS OF ANARCHY) and Richard Wenk (THE MECHANIC) comes SOUTHPAW – the story of Billy “The Great” Hope, Junior Middleweight Boxing Champion of the World. When tragedy strikes and he loses it all, Billy enters the battle of his life as he struggles to become a contender once again and win back those he loves.
SOUTHPAW Gets A Release Date
It seems these are trying times for the current preproduction of David Ayer‘s new anti-hero superflick, Suicide Squad as actor Jake Gyllenhaal has since declined to replace Tom Hardy for the role of Rick Flagg among the all-star cast. No need for worry though if boxing dramas are more your speed and you’re eager to see the actor in something real soon, because his newest film, Southpaw is on the way, directed by Antoine Fuqua following stellar theatrical run with The Equalizer last September.
Written by Kurt Sutter and Richard Wenk, Gyllenhaal plays Billy Hope, a young, cocky middleweight champion whose promising career and life as a family man are cut short when tragedy strikes, throwing him in a downward spiral with only the help of an amateur trainer with demons of his own, to help him get back on his feet. Much to the film’s credit, Gyllenhaal‘s previous performance in last year’s Nightcrawler has gained him some ample recognition which should undoubtedly make Southpaw a contender considering how much the actor immersed himself in this particular role, and if you’ve seen the photo, it clearly shows.
As such, Deadline is reporting the film’s official release now set for July 31, 2015 courtesy of The Weinstein Company. Gyllenhaal will be joined by actor Forest Whitaker and actress Rachel McAdams along with Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, Rita Ora, Naomie Harris and Victor Ortiz co-star. Stay tuned for more info^
Gyllenhaal May Replace Hardy For Ayer’s SUICIDE SQUAD
Looks like perfect timing for Nightcrawler star, actor Jake Gyllenhaal whose most recent debut still of his upcoming boxing drama, Southpaw, from Antoine Fuqua (pictured) is currently making the rounds. Director David Ayer‘s forthcoming production of the DC Comics live-action adaptation of Suicide Squad is only several months away from commensing principal photography up over in Canada, and Gyllenhaal’s going to need to apply those movie muscles once again now that actor Tom Hardy is no longer starring.
The Wrap reports that Hardy’s scheduling conflicts between working on The Revenant with helmer Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu prior to joining the promotional tour for Warner Bros. Mad Max: Fury Road between mid-March through May 15 when the latter film releases, possibly leaving room for Gyllenhaal to take his place. Hardy was listed in the official press release late last year for the role of Rick Flag, leader of the titular ragtag team of anti-heroes along with Will Smith as Deadshot, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Jared Leto as the Joker, Jai Courtney as Boomerang, and Cara Delevingne as Enchantress, while official word awaits on the potential casting of actress Viola Davis as the oft-antagonistic government overseer of the team, Amanda Waller.
Gyllenhaal previously starred in Ayer‘s 2012 crime drama, End Of Watch, so seeing those two reunite could bring something refreshing to the table for fans. For now, let’s wait and see what happens.
The film is slated for release on August 5, 2016.
Victor Ortiz Joins Antoine Fuqua's SOUTHPAW
Director Antoine Fuqua has just begun filming his latest boxing drama in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for The Weinstein Company titled Southpaw, and this week brings the start of a second significant step forward in acting with a co-starring role for former boxing champion and The Expendables 3 co-star, Victor Ortiz. The film is written by Richard Wenk and Sons Of Anarchy series creator Kurt Sutter, and casts Ortiz as “Ramone”, fellow up-and-coming boxer whose story will be attributed somewhat similarly to Ortiz‘s own life story leading up to his career as a WBC Welterweight champion until earlier this year.
Ortiz joins lead Prisoners co-star, actor Jake Gyllenhaal who himself leads the film as “Billy Hope”, a welterweight boxer rising in the ranks while his while his personal life falls apart. Actress Rachel McAdams and Star Wars VII cast member, award-winning actress Lupita Nyong’o, and actors Forest Whitaker and Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson round out the current cast. The film was initially announced last year with hip-hop artist and actor Eminem as the lead before newly casting Gyllenhaal back in March.
Ortiz will appear in the upcoming theatrical release of The Expendables 3 from director Patrick Hughes on August 15 from Lionsgate. Meanwhile, Fuqua, has other films in the works, including Narco Sub from a script by David Guggenheim, a hopeful sequel to Wenk’s script for actor Denzel Washington’s upcoming appearance in the September 26, 2014 release of The Equalizer based on the original TV series, and the forthcoming theatrical remake production of The Magnificent Seven.
