The Dangers of the Digital World Are Bringing to the Cinema: Watch Dogs Movie is on the Way

The number of movies and TV series adapted from games is increasing day by day. After popular productions such as Mortal Kombat, Assassin’s Creed and Warcraft, a new one is added to the list. According to the statement, work has begun on the film adaptation of Ubisoft’s popular video game series Watch Dogs. The film will be produced by Ubisoft and Sony. Here are the details…

Watch Dogs is Becoming a Movie! Players Begin to Be Revealed

The plot of the movie is expected to be adapted from the first version of the game. The story follows a hacker named Aiden Pearce, who exposes a corrupt system by hacking the digital infrastructure that controls the city of Chicago. As you know, game adaptations are generally not very successful productions. However, Ubisoft and Sony, who do not want to leave their job to chance in this regard, are working with experienced names.

For example, the script of the film is handled by Christie LeBlanc, an experienced name. The film will be directed by award-winning French thriller director Mathieu Turi. The first known leading role is Sophie Wilde. Although games are usually enough to interact with a story, producers find it more logical to adapt rather than create an original story.

The main reason for this is, of course, the established fan base. For example, the Watch Dogs series has been played by more than 50 million players to date and has been a huge success. Even though the series is not mentioned among the legendary games, this success is enough for the movie to make a name for itself and make a good start at the box office.

However, in the past, we have seen in the Assassin’s Creed movie that even this is not enough. Therefore, it is worth saying that Ubisoft will be more careful.
