That Sleeping Canine film that Simu Liu teased earlier this week may be a little bit additional in growth than we thought.
The lifetime of a Sleeping Canine film is not a simple one; whereas it has been apparent for some time now {that a} sequel was by no means coming, there was hopes it may discover new life as a film, with Donnie Yen (Ip Man, Star Wars: Rogue One) initially meant to star in it. Close to the beginning of the month the actor shared that, because it turned out, that film is not taking place, although Yen apparently put a whole lot of work into getting the sport tailored. After which a twist got here earlier this week that Simu Liu, finest identified for his function because the titular Shang-Chi within the MCU, shared that he was “working with the rights holders to convey Sleeping Canine to the massive display.” Now, as shared in a report from IGN, evidently the movie is additional alongside than simply that.
In response to a supply near the venture that spoke with IGN, the film is presently in growth, and Liu himself is about to each produce the movie, in addition to play the lead function of Wei Shen. Particulars appear to be fairly scant other than that, so we’ll have to attend and see if Sq. Enix, writer of the unique recreation, makes any sort of announcement. Presumably the movie might be produced by Authentic Movie, the studio that was set to make the unique adaptation with Yen within the lead function, until the variation rights have shifted to a different studio.
Sleeping Canine initially got here out in 2012, and was met with optimistic evaluations just about throughout the board. It was typically in comparison with Grand Theft Auto, albeit set in Hong Kong, and whereas it is beloved by followers, some lofty gross sales expectations from Sq. Enix meant {that a} sequel by no means materialised. Fingers crossed for all you followers on the market {that a} movie adaptation may really get a sequel made!
