IGN reports a “source close to the project” confirmed it’s happening. Along with starring as Shen, Liu will also serve as the producer.

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings actor Simu Liu recently revealed that he was working with the rights holders of Sleeping Dogs to create a live-action film. Though Donnie Yen was to star in an adaptation (announced in 2017), the project ultimately went nowhere.

Fortunately, it seems that Liu’s efforts have borne fruit. According to IGN, a “source close to the project” revealed it’s in the works. And yes, Liu will play undercover cop/Triad member Wei Shen while also producing. Square Enix, the game’s publisher, hasn’t responded for comment.

When the film will be released remains to be seen, but there’s also the question of a sequel. “That’s always been the dream,” said Liu, though whether it comes true remains to be seen.

Sleeping Dogs first launched in 2012, and it’s playable on Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS4, PS3, and PC.
