Hot on the heels of Ubisoft's E3 unveil of jaw-dropping game footage from forthcoming action-adventure Watch Dogs

That’s because the game-maker registered a series of domain names last week that include WatchDogsmovie.com, WatchDogsthemovie.com, Watch-Dogsmovie.com, Watch-Dogsthemovie.com. Fusible.com spotted the multiple registrations, but it’s quite normal for a developer to ear-mark potential movie domains early in a game’s gestation, so file this one under speculation for now.But the game certainly lends itself to celluloid treatment, with the story set in a near future when our lives are controlled by machines, and revolving around anti-hero Aiden Pierce, who can hack into anything at any time.Whatever the case, Watch Dogs isn't set to hit shelves until 2013, so don't expect a movie version anytime before that.
