Ubisoft and New Regency confirmed in March that development had officially begun on a live action adaptation of Watch Dogs, while filming began not long afterward, in July. 

Now, filming has wrapped as well, as confirmed by Ubisoft on Twitter. Filming on the movie lasted a little over two months. As previously confirmed, it stars Sophie Wilde (Talk to Me) and Tom Blyth (The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes), with Christie LeBlanc (Oxygen) having written its original screenplay, and Mathieu Turi serving as its director. Turi is also set to direct a film based on Asobo Studio’s A Plague Tale: Innocence. 

It remains to be seen when the Watch Dogs movie will release. Meanwhile, the future of the franchise in the gaming space looks much murkier, with reports claiming earlier in the year that the series was “dead and buried” after the underperformance of Watch Dogs: Legion. Read more on that through here.

Specifically, Ubisoft has announced with a post on Twitter that filming for the Watch Dogs movie has started. The movie, as previously confirmed, will be directed by French director Mathieu Turi, who is also set to direct a movie based on A Plague Tale: Innocence, the 2019 action-adventure title developed by Asobo Studio.

The Watch Dogs movie is based on an original screenplay written by Christie LeBlanc, who is known for her work on Oxygen, and will star Sophie Wilde (Talk to Me) and Tom Blyth (The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes).

As for the future of the Watch Dogs franchise in terms of a new game instalment, reports earlier this year claimed that the series was “dead and buried”, with no plans at Ubisoft to make a new instalment following the critical and commercial failure of 2020’s Watch Dogs: Legion.

A report by Deadline has revealed that Ubisoft has partnered with New Regency to work on a film based on Watch Dogs.

Sophie Wilde, best known for her role in 2022 horror film Talk to Me, is in talks to star, while French director Mathieu Turi (who’s also directing a movie based on A Plague Tale) is set to direct. Christie LeBlanc, known for her work on 2021’s Netflix sci-fi thriller Oxygen, is writing an original screenplay for the movie.

The movie will be produced by Ubisoft Film and Television’s Margaret Boykin and New Regency Picture’s Yariv Milchan and Natalie Lehmann. Currently, there’s no word on when it’s expected to start moving through the phases of production, and a release date is unknown.

It seems things are coming together fairly quickly for Ubisoft’s upcoming Assassin’s Creed film, to be based on the popular franchise of the same name (duh). Today, Ubisoft’s film and TV division, Ubisoft Motion Picture, announced the production company they’ve tied up with to handle the film. New Regency, which has produced classics like L.A. Confidential and duds like Elekta, will be taking up the task.

Ubisoft Motion Pictures CEO Jean-Julien Baronnet decided on the company “because they are a talent- and filmmaker-driven company, with the same independent and creative mindset that we have at Ubisoft Motion Pictures.” Which is all well and good, but seriously guys, Elektra. There was nothing talent-driven or creative about that.

Development will now begin on a screenplay for the film, with Michael Fassbender of Hunger, Shame and X-Men: First Class fame playing the lead. He’s also attached as a producer to the project. So far the film could still go either way, but at least there are some mostly competent people behind it.
