Watch Dogs Film Adaptation Moves to Pre-Production

The project secures a director, writer, and lead star, signaling a significant step forward for the long-anticipated adaptation.

The Watch Dogs film adaptation, long in speculation, has officially moved to pre-production with a director, writer, and lead star confirmed.
French filmmaker Mathieu Turi is set to direct, with Christie LeBlanc writing the screenplay, and Sophie Wilde rumored to lead, likely as a hacker.
The film, produced by New Regency Pictures and Ubisoft Film & Television, does not yet have a specific release date.
The adaptation aims to explore themes of privacy, control, and resistance in a digital world, drawing from the game's focus on surveillance society.
Despite the lack of detailed plot information, the film could potentially be a direct adaptation of the first Watch Dogs game.
