The long-gestating Sleeping Dogs live-action adaptation is finally gaining momentum, with Simu Liu confirmed to star as undercover cop Wei Shen and action specialist Timo Tjahjanto (Nobody 2, The Night Comes for Us) set to direct. While the film still lacks a studio partner and release date, Liu says the script is finished, raising cautious optimism that the cult-favorite Hong Kong crime saga may at last reach the big screen.
