this trailer has absolutely nothing going for it. This trailer is a
masterclass in how not to make a trailer interesting.
The most interesting bit might be Jack Black saying his character's name
and the other characters being utterly unimpressed, and that was not
that interesting in the first place.

They've just announced that filming is complete on a movie based on
Ubisoft's "Watch_Dogs" games.

Another franchise that absolutely did not need --or really, had the
setting or characters to support-- a movie based on it. Not that _any_
of Ubisoft's franchises really would translate to film, but
"Watch_Dogs" seems one of the more unlikely. It's a series that is all
about the mechanics and lacks any memorable narrative or characters
(in fact, "Watch_Dogs Legion" was famous in that it had _no_ main
characters, since any of the thousands of NPCs in the game could be
recruited into the adventure.

It just seems such an odd choice to make a film. Why not "Assassins
Creed" or "Farcry 5" or even "Rayman"? All of them seem more likely
subjects.

Well, it'll be fun to watch this one crash and burn too.
