Lately, Simu Liu announced on social media that he might be developing a live-action adaptation of Sleeping Dogs, the 2012 open-world video game. Back when Sleeping Dogs initially came out more than a decade ago, it received widespread praise for its gripping narrative, top-notch combat system, and stellar voice cast. Ever since then, fans of this single-title game have been eagerly awaiting a sequel, but unfortunately, one has never materialized.
Currently, it’s officially confirmed that a movie adaptation for Sleeping Dogs is underway. The production process is being handled by Story Kitchen, in partnership with Square Enix, and Simu Liu, known from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, has been chosen to play the lead character, Wei Shen.
It Took You Long Enough
Sleeping Dogs, released in 2012, was an exceptional game that immersed players in the gritty world of crime-ridden Hong Kong, where they assumed the role of Wei Shen, an undercover cop navigating the treacherous underworld. The title offered a formidable competition to the Grand Theft Auto series, though it was somewhat overshadowed by the release of Grand Theft Auto 5 the following year.
After several prosperous expansions, Sleeping Dogs was ultimately closed down, and the prospect of a sequel faded as time went by. For nearly ten years, fans have been discussing rumors and hypotheses about a Sleeping Dogs film coming to life, and today, we can confirm that it is indeed in development.
According to an IGN report, it’s been announced that Story Kitchen (known for Sonic the Hedgehog, Tomb Raider, and Streets of Rage) is partnering with Square Enix to create a Sleeping Dogs movie. This project will feature Simu Liu in the main role as Wei Shen. However, this news hasn’t sparked widespread excitement among global fans so far.
Simu Liu recently talked about a potential sequel to the game “Sleeping Dogs” on social media. Unfortunately, plans for a sequel were abandoned in 2013, and the original game’s creators went out of business a few years afterwards.
