By Filming has officially wrapped on the New Regency-produced film adaptation of Ubisoft’s “Watch Dogs” video game franchise.
Ubisoft themselves revealed the news earlier today in a post on X with a shot of French genre filmmaker Mathieu Turi on-set directing. Production moved smoothly and quickly it seems as Turi confirmed that filming had begun back on July 3rd and the shoot is all done over in just two-and-a-half months.
“The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds And Snakes” star Tom Blyth and “Talk to Me” breakout Sophie Wilde lead the cast of the film adaptation of a game series that has had over 50 million players over the course of three entries to date.
Additionally it has just been reported that Australian actress Markella Kavenagh (“The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power”) has joined the cast of the film which tells an original story set within the popular game universe, as opposed to directly adapting a title.
The games unfold in fictionalized versions of real-life modern day cities which are all run by ctOS, software which offers centralised control over all major infrastructure systems across entire cities including subway lines, electricity grids, surveillance cameras and traffic control systems.
The games follow hacker protagonists caught up in the criminal underworlds of their respective cities who are able to use their phone as a means to both lift people’s personal data and manipulate the environment around them from door locks to street lights.
Christie LeBlanc (“Oxygen”) and Victoria Bata (“Fate: The Winx Saga”) are penning the script for the film.
