A movie based on Ubisoft’s Watch Dogs game series was first revealed more than 10 years ago, so many thought it might have simply faded away. But it’s still happening. Deadline reports that Sophie Wilde, who starred in the A24 horror movie Talk To Me, is in talks to star in the video game film.
Mathieu Turi (The Deep Dark, Hostile, and assistant director on Inglourious Basterds) is directing Watch Dogs from a script by Christie LeBlanc (Oxygen). Victoria Bata (Lessons in Chemistry) also contributed to the script.
The Watch Dogs movie was originally set up at Sony Pictures but has now changed hands to New Regency. Turi is also developing a TV series based on the Plague Tale games.
