I can’t wait to see how it will suck! “Deadpool 2 and John Wick director David Leitch has been lining up the film projects! It was just announced that he would be directing the Fast and Furious spinoff film with Hobbs and Shaw. Now it has been announced that he will direct the big screen adaptation of Ubisoft’s hit video game The Division!” I mean, don’t get me wrong: ‘John Wick director’ is a pretty potent talisman against despair when it comes to movies based on video games. But movies based on video games pretty much come out of the box awful. It’s gonna take a lot to overcome that hurdle.

PS: Entertainingly, I am thinking of playing The Division again; I have heard that the updates to the game have fixed a lot of the problems that eventually caused me to lose interest in it. But while it held my interest I was absolutely engrossed by it. So maybe I’ll be even more upset with this movie, when it comes out.
They might be able to make it work.
After all, it’s a good setting. All they need to do is set characters and dialogue in it…

I must say, the short film they hired Corridor Digital and Rocket Jump to make for the launch was a great intro to the setting. If they just made that Act I of the movie they’d be headed in the right direction. I realize there are two different “they”s involved there, but I maintain my position just the same.
