It’s not every day that a beloved, yet often neglected video game like Sleeping Dogs catches the attention of Hollywood, and it’s even rarer that such attention leads to a potential movie adaptation.

While some fans were hoping for a sequel to the game, it looks like Liu is taking a different route, first pushing forward with a live-action adaptation. And with this exciting new direction, we think one key actor who should be involved is none other than Emma Stone.

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings star Simu Liu seems unhappy...

It may have been some time since fans saw Simu Liu donned the Ten Rings as Marvel’s Shang-Chi, but the actor has not been resting on his laurels. After the actor appeared in the acclaimed Greta Gerwig picture Barbie, Liu has turned his attention to the video game property Sleeping Dogs. The 2012 open world game follows undercover cop Wei Shen (Will Yun Lee) in present-day Hong Kong, where he endeavors to take down the Triad. Built around the brutal world of organized crime and the close relationships that tie them together, the series has been a respected IP since its release.

Are you a fan of Sleeping Dogs? Because if you are, you’ve probably been waiting for a sequel or a movie adaptation. Unfortunately for us, we almost got a movie starring Ip Man star Donnie Yen.

The Sleeping Dogs...

Though the video game adaptation genre is more alive than ever, Donnie Yen's long-gestating adaptation of an underrated action game has found itself scrapped. Having begun his career as a stuntman in the Hong Kong film industry, Yen steadily enjoyed a rise to stardom as an actor in the '90s with the TV adaptation of Bruce Lee's Fist of Fury, as well as making his directorial debut with 1997's Legend of the Wolf. The 2000s, however, would see him break out on an international scope as he began choreographing and appearing in many Hollywood action movies, namely Blade II and the Oscar-nominated Hero.

Yen would go on to find further acclaim with his leading role in the Ip Man franchise, leading the four mainline movies and gearing up to return for the in-development fifth movie. He would later find himself regaining success in Hollywood with his roles...

A titan of Hong Kong cinema, Donnie Yen has carved his name into the hearts of martial arts movie enthusiasts worldwide. With lightning-fast strikes and an undeniable charisma, Yen has been captivating audiences for decades. He has been a renowned actor in Asia for a long time and his popularity worldwide has been rising in the past few years.

Here’s Yen’s Instagram post, that’s announced that proverbial wheels are in motion…
