‘Werewolves Within’, Based on Popular Game, is Being Adapted Into a Movie

If you’ve participated in a board game night over the past few years, you’ve probably played your fair share of Werewolf, a hidden role party game in which each player is secretly assigned a role – either a werewolf or a villager.

As night falls in the game, the werewolves murder the residents of an old village called Gallowston, and when the villagers wake up, they must identify the werewolves among them before they’ve all been wiped out.

The concept was adapted into a virtual reality game called Werewolves Within a few years ago, and Ubisoft has announced that a Werewolves Within movie is currently in development.

Several years ago, /Film’s Peter Sciretta listed Werewolf among the board games that Hollywood should adapt into films, and now it’s finally happening.

News about this project was actually revealed back in early November, but it looks like it escaped the attention of the movie blog sphere until now. Here’s the announcement video, which also reveals that a Child of Light TV series is on the way:

So far, Ubisoft Motion Pictures has only produced the 2016 Assassin’s Creed film starring Michael Fassbender, which sadly did not break the video game movie curse. The company is currently developing film adaptations of Splinter Cell, Ghost Recon, Watch Dogs, Far Cry, Rabbids, and The Division, and there’s no word yet on when Werewolves Within might arrive in theaters.
