>The latest title to get the treatment is Square Enix's Sleeping Dogs, and Donnie Yen is on to star.
>Franchise nurturer and Fast & Furious producer Neal Moritz is backing this one, which will follow an undercover cop (Yen) on a mission to take down one of the most powerful and dangerous criminal organisations: the Triads. Well, if anyone can do it, it's Yen.
>The star of the Ip Man films, Yen has most recently been seen in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and xXx: Return Of Xander Cage, and given his martial arts abilities, he'll bring something fresh to the genre, especially if whichever studio sets this one up surrounds him without the right director and other filmmakers.
More video game movies!
When will they learn?
Levi Williams
Was Sleeping Dogs good? I have it but I've never played it
Luke White
Will there ever be another game as comfy as this one? Driving through the streets of HK at night was magic
Benjamin Turner
Yen is cool.
Gabriel Parker
PORK BUUUUUNN!!
Parker Cruz
Looks cool.
Leo Sanders
He's too old though.
Ryder Rivera
Isn't triad just an umbrella term for the various brands of organised crime in Hong Kong? Rather than a specific gang?
Juan Cooper
>recycle piecemeal elements of various movies into a videogame because it might be fun to play out those scenarios as those characters >Hey we should make this into a movie!
Lincoln James
what the fuck man hes old as shit now, how is he gonna go around yelling IM WEI SHEN/SUN ON YEE MOTHERFUCKER
Levi Wood
It was pretty fun, not sure how it could translate to an actual movie though, it was pretty derivative.
Jack Williams
Yes, in the game there's the 18K (named after 14k) and the sun on yee
Evan Davis
Still cool.
Cameron James
Yeah its great, fun as fuck.
>tfw no chance of a sequel now
Aaron Jenkins
It was basically "Chinese movies, the video game".
It would be like adapting RDR or The Last of Us
The best video game movie so far was John Wick
Angel Roberts
>Donnie Yen
I'm ok with this, yet he's a bit old for the character...
The real problem will be the director. I hope they got it right
It's gonna be Renny Harlin be ready
Jonathan Baker
Why not Daniel Wu? even looks more like the character
Jose Brown
Why not just use guy who did the voice from the game? He's a half decent actor already and they did that face capture shit for it anyway.
Daniel Russell
because kung fu
and donnie yen can sell in asia
Jayden Lopez
Oh shit I fucking loved Sleeping Dogs
Jeremiah Allen
Probably because Donnie Yen actually knows Kung-Fu and is a big draw at the box office.
Henry Brooks
Get Tom Wilkinson in there
Ayden Campbell
I would say surprisingly easy. It already has good story and making a movie about undercover police in triad shouldnt be hard. Throw some car chase, some detective work and left the rest.
Eli Sanchez
Pretty hyped, Sleeping Dogs was a very comfy game
Evan Brown
Who would be your first choice to direct?
John Woo here
Jack Robinson
The guy who did the Raid movies
Mason Anderson
Refn
Joshua Bailey
>because Donnie Yen actually knows Kung-Fu Watch the choreography be garbage anyway cause it uses American stunt coordinators who don't know how to frame an exciting fight without the use of quick cuts.
Kevin Phillips
Uwe Boll
Lucas Taylor
This actually, The Raid 2 was already pretty similar
