This movie has been in the works for three years, but things finally started heating up after Netflix bosses decided to acquire the rights.

David Leitch, known for his work on Deadpool 2 and the upcoming Fast & Furious spin-off Hobbs & Shaw, will be in charge of directing this film.

According to its official synopsis, The Division takes place in the near future, where a pandemic virus is spread via paper money on Black Friday, decimating the city of New York and killing millions. Society has descended into chaos and a group of civilians, trained to operate in catastrophic times, are activated in an attempt to save who and what remains.

The Division was released in 2016, and it quickly became Ubisoft’s best-selling game and had the biggest first-week launch for a new game franchise after earning $330 million over the course of five days.

The project first made headlines when during a Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s “Women Breaking Barriers” at the Sundance Film Festival in January Spencer spoke about how she and Chastain got to talking about pay equity.

Spencer told Chastain, “women of color on that spectrum, we make far less than white women. So, if we’re gonna have that conversation about pay equity, we gotta bring the women of color to the table.’ And I told her my story, and we talked numbers, and she was quiet, and she said she had no idea that that’s what it was like for women of color.” The two then planned to negotiate their pay on the film together in order to make the same amount. This female peer-couple ended up making five times what they asked for.

Chastain is in talks to join Stephen King’s It sequel, and the power of the Internet might have something to do with that. From the moment it was announced that the on-screen adaptation of King’s 1986 novel is going to be split into two parts, it was pretty clear that the second movie would most likely feature adult versions of the characters played by child actors in the first film.

In the search for the appropriate look-alikes, Chastain’s name came up as the perfect option to play the grown-up Beverly Marsh. Even Sophia Lillis, who played the young version of Bev in the first film, agreed.

Director Andy Muschietti and Chastain have worked together on the 2013 horror film Mama. EW reports that he even said during It’s post-production that his hopes to recruit Chastain to the Losers’ Club if the sequel became a reality.

The sequel will follow the all-grown-up Losers’ Club as they go back to Derry to face off against Pennywise one more time. It is scheduled for release in September 2019.
