Simu Liu, the Marvel star, is spearheading efforts to resurrect the cancelled Sleeping Dogs film adaptation. Newsweek reports Liu's response to a fan on X/Twitter, confirming he's actively working with rights holders to bring the project to the big screen. His statement follows the recent cancellation announcement, confirmed by Donnie Yen, who was originally attached to star in the 2017 adaptation. Yen cited years of invested time, effort, and personal funds, expressing disappointment over the project's demise, a common occurrence in Hollywood.
The unexpected intervention by Liu 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 video game, released on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC, garnered significant critical acclaim, receiving an 8/10 rating from IGN. The game follows Detective Wei Shen as he undertakes an undercover operation within a formidable Hong Kong Triad. Despite its popularity, no sequels were ever produced. Liu's involvement may finally bring this critically acclaimed story to the silver screen.
