Before Watch Dogs comes out, Ubisoft is already talking about a movie adaptation.
Ubisoft did not mention any further details about the movie. This is understandable since the game isn’t out until this November.
A part of me thinks that Ubisoft is jumping the gun on this one. What if Watch Dogs the game is a flop? That’s unlikely, but you never know until the full game comes out.
Another thing Ubisoft should be wary of is the Box Office returns for their upcoming Assassin’s Creed and Splinter Cell movies. If they flop, there would be no point in investing money into a Watch Dogs movie either.
Ubisoft Motion Pictures executive Jean-Julien Baronnet commented:
Since both Sony and Ubisoft have movie and video game branches, this deal creates exceptional opportunities for us to merge the realms of the story-based cinematic experience with the interaction of the video game
If Watch Dogs is a cool game, would you like to see a movie version of it as well in the future?
