>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?
>>
Was Sleeping Dogs good? I have it but I've never played it
>>
Will there ever be another game as comfy as this one?
Driving through the streets of HK at night was magic
>>

Yen is cool.
>>
PORK BUUUUUNN!!
>>
>>80017772
Looks cool.
>>
>>80017863
He's too old though.
>>
Isn't triad just an umbrella term for the various brands of organised crime in Hong Kong? Rather than a specific gang?

>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!
>>
what the fuck man hes old as shit now, how is he gonna go around yelling IM WEI SHEN/SUN ON YEE MOTHERFUCKER
>>
>>80017830
It was pretty fun, not sure how it could translate to an actual movie though, it was pretty derivative.
>>
>>80017901
Yes, in the game there's the 18K (named after 14k) and the sun on yee
>>
>>80017898
Still cool.
>>
>>80017830
Yeah its great, fun as fuck.
>tfw no chance of a sequel now
>>
>>80017830
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
>>
>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 rightIt's gonna be Renny Harlin be ready
>>
Why not Daniel Wu? even looks more like the character

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.
>>
>>80018022
because kung fu
and donnie yen can sell in asia
>>
Oh shit
I fucking loved Sleeping Dogs
>>
>>80018022
Probably because Donnie Yen actually knows Kung-Fu and is a big draw at the box office.
>>
>>80018022
Get Tom Wilkinson in there
>>
>>80017949
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.
>>
>>80017772
Pretty hyped, Sleeping Dogs was a very comfy game
>>
Who would be your first choice to direct?
John Woo here
>>
>>80018868
The guy who did the Raid movies
>>
>>80018868
Refn
>>
>>80018062
>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.
>>
>>80018868
Uwe Boll
>>
>>80018884
This actually, The Raid 2 was already pretty similar
>>
WEI SHEN MOTHERFUCKER
