Simu Liu, the star of Marvel's Shang-Chi, is spearheading efforts to resurrect the cancelled Sleeping Dogs film adaptation. Newsweek reports Liu responded to a fan on X/Twitter, stating he's actively working with rights holders to bring the video game to the big screen.
The project, initially announced in 2017 with Donnie Yen attached to star, vanished a year later. Yen recently confirmed its cancellation, citing years of invested time, effort, and personal funds, only to see the project fall through due to the unpredictable nature of Hollywood.
Liu's intervention reignites hope for the Hong Kong-set action franchise. However, the success of his endeavor in securing the rights or otherwise reviving the film remains uncertain.
The original Sleeping Dogs game, released for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC, follows Detective Wei Shen as he undertakes an undercover operation within a formidable Hong Kong Triad. Critically acclaimed, earning an 8/10 rating from IGN, the game surprisingly lacked sequels. Liu's involvement could finally bring this popular game to the silver screen.
