Watch Dogs 2

The live-action Watch Dogs movie, which began principal photography back in July, has now completed filming. AsUbisoftannounced on thehate site formerly known as Twitter, “run film_wrapped.exe(#watchdogsmovie.mp4)”.

As we said back when it was confirmed that a movie based on Watch Dogs was happening,we’re not sure we want one. The Watch Dogs games don’t exactly have the worldbuilding of the Assassin’s Creed series, and it’s hard to see what the license offers that you couldn’t do in a generic hacker movie without it.

That said, the Assassin’s Creed movie was a bit of a dud, and when Ubisoft gave Werewolves Within to director Josh Ruben and seemingly said, “Just make a werewolf movie, we don’t care if it has anything to do with the videogame,” the results were actually great? (For real, if you like the idea of a daft horror-comedy werewolf movie and you’ve already seen Ginger Snaps, you should totally watch Werewolves Within.)
