Simu Liu Pushes for 'Sleeping Dogs' Movie Adaptation

Mar 14,2025 Author: Joseph

Simu Liu, the star of Marvel’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, has reignited hope for a Sleeping Dogs film adaptation. Initially announced in 2017 with Donnie Yen attached to star, the project was reportedly cancelled earlier this month. However, Liu recently responded to a fan on X/Twitter, stating he is "working with the rights holders to bring Sleeping Dogs to the big screen."

Yen himself previously confirmed the project's cancellation, citing years of work and investment that ultimately proved fruitless. His comments highlighted the unpredictable nature of Hollywood development.

Liu's involvement offers a surprising twist. Whether he secures the rights or finds another path to production remains uncertain. The original Sleeping Dogs video game, released on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC, garnered critical acclaim, receiving an 8/10 rating from IGN. The game follows detective Wei Shen as he infiltrates a Hong Kong Triad, a story that clearly resonated with audiences and critics alike, leaving many eager for a cinematic adaptation. The lack of sequels to the well-received game only adds to the anticipation surrounding Liu’s efforts.
