This Is Why 'The Division' and 'Driver' Film Adaptations Are Stuck in Limbo

It's a weird time for video game adaptations. In the last few weeks, it has emerged that former gaming titan Ubisoft is fracturing into two separate entities, with the more valuable IP sheltered from looming bankruptcy liquidation. Unfortunately, that leaves the upcoming Watch Dogs, Beyond Good & Evil, Skull & Bones, Driver, and The Division movies/streaming series in the lurch. Marketing is sure to be tight even if all these finish production, as the company faces irate stockholders, multiple customer lawsuits, strikes, layoffs, and a toxic reputation that has seen it shed more than 90% of its stock price in six years. Hell, in a year's time, these properties might be owned by entirely different companies that are not interested in completing them.
