Ubisoft’s film studio will be teaming up with Sony Pictures and New Regency, to bring us a live action version of Watch Dogs. With this announcement, and Assassin’s Creed/Splinter Cell films already in development, its good news all around for gamers.

The following is from the official press release:

Hannah Minghella, president of Production for Columbia Pictures, said, “The themes and open gameplay of ‘Watch Dogs’ lends itself perfectly to the big screen. The game has intense action and adventure, but the story focuses on information and the control of information, which we think will lead to an exciting thriller.  It has tremendous potential as a motion picture and we’re thrilled to have the opportunity to work closely with Ubisoft’s internal creative team on the development of the project.”
