Earlier this week, MCU actor Liu Simu responded to a fan's call for a film adaptation of the 2012 game Sleeping Dogs by saying that he was working hard to make the film a reality and "is working with the copyright holder to bring Sleeping Dogs to the big screen." However, things are moving faster than we expected. A source close to the project told IGN that the Sleeping Dogs movie is in the works, with Simu Liu set to serve as producer and will star in the lead role of Shen Wei. It is worth mentioning that when Liu Simu was responding to fans’ questions, he had said that if the "Sleeping Dogs" movie was really realized, he would call Donnie Yen as soon as possible, which made people think that he would invite Donnie Yen to play Shen Wei. The live-action Sleeping Dogs movie was announced in 2017 and was originally going to star kung fu star Donnie Yen, but unfortunately, the film failed to attract the interest of Hollywood and was canceled. IGN has asked copyright holder SE for comment. Sleeping Dogs was released in 2012 for PC, PS3, and Xbox 360. It tells the story of undercover police officer Shen Wei as he infiltrates one of Hong Kong's notorious triad crime syndicates. While it failed to meet publisher Square Enix's high sales expectations, it was well-received by fans. |
