Ubisoft's Watch Dogs the latest game series to get the movie treatment

Watch Dogs, Ubisoft’s open-world sci-fi hacker series, is reportedly the latest in an ever-growing list of video games to get the live-action movie treatment, with Talk to Me actor Sophie Wilde said to be in talks to star.

The Watch Dogs movie is in development at New Regency Productions but, beyond word of Talk to Me actor Sophie Wilde’s potential involvement and the rather obvious note from Deadline that it’ll be “set within the universe of Ubisoft’s” series, details are limited.

Watch Dogs is perhaps an unusual choice for a movie adaptation given the series has failed to establish much of a personality, or make much of a critical impact, across its three series outings.
