The video game movie curse has yet to be broken, so is that something that concerns Leitch when it comes to The Division? Not particularly:
“I mean yes and no. They’re two different experiences. Obviously the video game you’re telling your own story and it’s so active, and cinema is all about one person’s point of view guiding a story, you’re telling a story. I think sometimes those things are in conflict, but on a project like The Division again it’s like there’s these bigger themes in there that you can pull one out and attach some great characters to and you can have a compelling story, and also given the trappings of the world that people love, I think you can deliver a good movie.”
Leitch says The Division is still in development (Stephen Gaghan was previously attached to write and direct), but also says the film isn’t exactly on the backburner:
“We’re still developing the script and the producers are looking for writers and it’s sort of like we’re aggressively moving forward. We’re all fired up to do it, but it’s just getting on the same page… It could be [in the immediate future]. I like the idea of working with Jake and Jessica and that’s really interesting to me, so who wouldn’t want to aggressively move forward and find a point of view on it and dig in? So it could be, I hope so.” source: http://collider.com/david-leitch-interview-the-division-john-wick-rain/ tag: DIVSN
