The Big Picture Tom Blyth already emerged as the future dictator of Panem in last year's prequel The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, and now the up-and-comer has found his next major film project. Blyth will star alongside Sophie Wilde in New Regency's upcoming film Watch Dogs, according to Deadline. The film will be an adaptation of the highly popular video game series of the same name from developer Ubisoft.
Watch Dogs will be directed by Mathieu Turi, known for the 2020 French sci-fi film Meander. Turi will direct from an original screenplay by Christie LeBlanc and revisions by Victoria Bata. The film's producers include Yariv Milchan, the chairman and CEO of New Regency, Natalie Lehmann, New Regency's president of motion pictures and television, and Margaret Boykin, the head of content at Ubisoft's film and television division.
