The Sleeping Dogs movie has reached a new milestone, as revealed by the potential star of the film. Earlier this year, Marvel's Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings star Simu Li revealed that he's attached to a film adaptation for Sleeping Dogs, the 2012 action-adventure game developed by United Front Games for Square Enix. It's been several months since the last update, but according to Liu, the project has passed a new milestone. In a post on X, Liu revealed that Sleeping Dogs has a new draft of the script, but he crossed out the writer's name. He also shared a pic of his own sleeping dog to go with the news. in honour of our sleeping dogs script draft being done, here’s my sleepy dog 👍 pic.twitter.com/l1KsFNDj5V During a follow-up message, Liu wrote that Square Enix has been "absolutely great," before adding "it's the studios that don't seem to understand how important this IP is. BUT we will get them there." Sleeping Dogs was set in Hong Kong, and it followed an undercover police officer named Wei Shen as he infiltrated the Triad and attempted to destroy it from the inside. If the movie goes forward, Liu will likely portray Shen. Donnie Yen was signed to star in the film in 2017 during a previous attempt to adapt the story. That version was reportedly going to shoot in 2022, but it ultimately didn't come to pass. Yen confirmed that he is no longer involved with the project in January of this year. Liu shared the news of his involvement shortly after that, and added that he doesn't just want to make a movie. He also wants "a sequel game for everyone." While there was never a direct sequel, a Sleeping Dogs spin-off called Triad Wars was in development before it was canceled during its beta. The game's developer, United Front Games, was closed in 2016.
