Coming from an Examiner interview with Ubisoft North America President Laurent Detoc...

"We were very humbled by the reception Watch Dogs received when it debuted at E3 2012. Ubisoft Motion Pictures was fielding calls from prospective movie studios shortly after we announced Watch Dogs, so we knew the potential for telling a compelling story outside of the video game narrative. The video game community was very excited about the game and has continued to show a great deal of support for this title. Watch Dogs has a thrilling, original story rooted in strong action and adventure which is part of the equation for any great property – be it movies or games. For the movie, we are partnered with some of the best in the industry, Sony Pictures and New Regency, so with them at the helm and Ubisoft retaining creative control for brand DNA continuity, we’re confident we can make the Watch Dogs movie a success."
