A Decade Later, Live-Action Watch Dogs Movie Actually Happening

Manufacturing on a live-action Watch Dogs movie has lastly began over a decade after Ubisoft first introduced the difference was within the works.

The primary Watch Canine sport was launched in 2014. It was an open-world motion sport starring Aiden Pierce, a vigilante “gray hat” hacker in Chicago who makes use of his cellphone and tech experience to hack town’s infrastructure, cameras, and different digital devices. Whereas the primary sport would find yourself being fairly profitable and spawned a franchise, Ubisoft was betting huge on Watch Canine earlier than it even launched, announcing a film based on the game in August 2013. And now, it’s lastly, really, for actual being made.

On July 3, the official Ubisoft account on Twitter shared a photograph of a clapper board on the set of the live-action Watch Dogs film. I can’t spot a lot within the first picture however I do see a pc and an individual utilizing stated pc, probably utilizing that PC to do some unlawful hacking. Or possibly they’re simply ordering a pizza?

The upcoming Watch Canine film stars Tom Blyth (Starvation Video games: The Ballad of Songbirds) and Sophia Wilde (Speak To Me) in undisclosed roles. To place in perspective how lengthy the film has been in growth hell, Blyth was solely 18 when the film was introduced. Wilde was solely 15, not even sufficiently old to purchase the unique M-rated Watch Canine.

We nonetheless don’t actually know a lot in regards to the particular plot of the upcoming movie, which was initially going to be executed in cooperation with Sony however is now a Regency Photos manufacturing, however I can assume some issues. I guess somebody hacks a pc. I additionally guess somebody does some tech stuff and makes all of the lights shut off within the metropolis. And I wager somebody shoots a gun at individuals who even have weapons. Very thrilling.

No phrase on when to anticipate this Watch Canine film to launch, however subsequent 12 months sounds possible. Will Ubisoft have a brand new Watch Canine sport out by then? Most likely not. However hey, it’s at all times a good time to play Watch Dogs 2 and hope Ubisoft makes an actual sequel to it and all of us overlook about that bland, boring, different sport generally known as Legion.
