It’s uncommon, however sometimes a little bit of videogame or film information breaks not with a well-manicured trailer or a press launch emailed to a media outlet. Like, typically a gamer will simply ask a film star a direct query on Twitter and the film star actually solutions. Rarely. Very not often. But it occurs.
Like right now, when a man on Twitter requested the star of Marvel’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Simu Liu, if a Sleeping Dogs film is going on, and bought an precise affirmative response.
As reported by Newsweek, it began when influencer rinothebouncer posted a clip of 2012 motion sport Sleeping Dogs, after which one other Twitter consumer named Zengames44 expressed an curiosity in a videogame sequel, speculating that if a Sleeping Dogs film have been to get made, it will assist increase curiosity in a brand new sport.
Zengames44 then tagged Simu Liu, primarily asking him to make it occur. “Are you Wei [Shen]?”
“Working with the rights holders to deliver Sleeping Dogs to the large display screen!” Liu replied. Well, that was straightforward. Why do not we simply immediately ask film stars all the pieces? All credit score to Zengames44 for simply reaching out.
This is probably excellent news for Sleeping Dogs followers—a film adaptation has been within the works for some time, set to star Donnie Yen, however Yen revealed just lately to Polygon that the movie was formally a no-go. Hopefully, Liu could have extra luck, and by the seems of issues, it has been a dream of his for fairly some time. In a reddit AMA in 2021, Liu was requested which sport adaptation he’d most need to star in, and he stated: “Sleeping Dogs was fairly lit.”
When requested for remark, PC Gamer’s Mollie Taylor stated “Holy shit Sleeping Dogs film???? That could be sick.” (Please notice the 4 query marks indicating Mollie’s curiosity degree.) PC Gamer’s Joshua Wolens stated “i might kill and die for Sleeping Dogs,” including, “now and again i awake in a chilly sweat from black goals concerning the cancelled Sleeping Dogs sequel set within the Pearl River Delta.”
So I feel you possibly can say PC Gamer is all in favour of each the film and a videogame sequel. If we study any extra particulars (maybe from tweeting immediately at Simu Liu) we’ll replace this text.
