One of the rare missteps in the career of Jake Gyllenhaal presented itself with the hopeful adaptation of popular video game Prince of Persia back in 2010.
The game is a third-person shooter set in the aftermath of a smallpox pandemic which has swept New York.
It seems the actor has cast its thought to the back of his memory banks, however, as Variety reports he is being tapped to star in yet another film based on a video game – this time Tom Clancy’s The Division.
The titular ‘Division’ is a Homeland task force designed to investigate the outbreak as well as to combat ensuing criminal activity taking over the city.
