Simu Liu, the star of Marvel's Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, has ignited hope for a Sleeping Dogs film adaptation. Initially announced in 2017 with Donnie Yen attached, the project was canceled earlier this month, with Yen citing years of work and investment ultimately proving fruitless due to the unpredictable nature of Hollywood.
However, Liu recently responded to a fan on X/Twitter, stating he is actively "working with the rights holders to bring Sleeping Dogs to the big screen." This unexpected development offers a potential lifeline for the long-dormant adaptation. While the specifics of Liu's involvement and the likelihood of success remain uncertain, his announcement has rekindled interest in a film based on the critically acclaimed 2012 video game.
The original Sleeping Dogs, released for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC, follows undercover detective Wei Shen as he navigates the treacherous world of Hong Kong's Triad gangs. The game garnered significant praise, achieving an 8/10 rating from IGN, yet failed to spawn any sequels. Liu's intervention could finally bring this popular title to the big screen, offering a fresh chance for a cinematic adaptation of this beloved action franchise.
