Ubisoft has confirmed that the Watch Dogs movie has officially begun production. This film, based on the popular video game series, will feature an original story. Sophie Wilde, known for Talk to Me, and Tom Blyth, from Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, will co-star. French director Mathieu Turi, famous for The Deep Dark, will direct the film.
The Watch Dogs franchise, known for its action-adventure gameplay, includes three main games: Watch Dogs (2014), Watch Dogs 2 (2016), and Watch Dogs: Legion (2020). Each game explores different narratives within a world where hacker rebels challenge the oppressive CTOS system, a digital network that connects entire cities.
