Simu Liu, known for his role in Shang-Chi, has announced his efforts to revive the Sleeping Dogs franchise by developing a movie and a sequel to the 2012 game. Despite the challenges of pitching to executives who may lack familiarity with the source material, Liu expresses optimism thanks to fan support. While a Sleeping Dogs film is reportedly in development with Liu set to star as Wei Shen, the journey from pitch to production remains uncertain, mirroring the game's long development history.
So few film projects make it from pitch phase to greenlight. Pitching execs who don't understand the game has been tiring. Everyone's overwhelming love of Sleeping Dogs here has really given us life! First a movie, then a sequel game for everyone... that's always been the dream.
A source told IGN that a Sleeping Dogs movie is actually in development, with Liu on board to play the lead role of Wei Shen.
