The adaptation of the Sleeping Dogs movie, which was confirmed, which was canceled at the beginning of this month, now has a chance to return thanks to the kindness of Marvel Star Simu Liu.
As reported NewsweekLiu responded to a fan calling for adaptation of the 2012 game on X/Twitter to say that he was trying to refer to a movie. “Cooperation with rights owners to bring sleeping dogs to a large screen,” he said.
The adaptation was announced in 2017 with Donnie Yen, which is to play, but the film disappeared a year later and just a few weeks ago Yen himself confirmed that it was scrapped.
“I spent a lot of time and worked a lot with these producers, and even invested some of my own money in obtaining sketches and some rights,” said Yen. “I waited for years. Years. And I really wanted to do it. And unfortunately … I don’t know. You know how Hollywood goes, right? “
Therefore, all hope of continuing the franchise of Hong Kong was lost, until Shang-Chi and The Legend of the Ten Rings Star Liu responded to a random post in social media. Regardless of whether he obtains the right to a film or launched it differently, he will remain.
Sleeping Dogs was released on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC and tells the story of the Detective Wei Shen when one of the known triad syndicates in Hong Kong infiltrates. He was very well received, earning 8/10 in the Ign review, but despite this no continuation was received.
Ryan Dinsdale is an IGN reporter. He will talk about The Witcher all day.
