Rise out of your sleep, fellow slumbering canines enjoyers! Our hopes for a movie adaptation of Sq. Enix’s great triad-kicking not fairly GTA Sleeping Canines should be alive, with Shang-Chi actor Simu Liu now seemingly combating to do what Donnie Yen sadly could not, and if he can pull it off, he is additionally obtained a sequel on his wishlist.
I do know, every thing appeared very bleak after Yen revealed earlier this month that he’d primarily had to surrender on the live-action Sleeping Canines film he was set to star in, with Hollywood execs apparently not prepared to present him the time of day concerning the undertaking or again it. However we could also be again in enterprise.
Responding to a random Sleeping Canines enjoyer on Twitter, Liu wrote that he is “working with the rights holders to carry Sleeping Canines to the massive display”. Given he is finest identified for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and likewise enjoying a Ken in Greta Gerwig’s Barbie, you’ll be able to positively see Liu having the vary required to be a reasonably killer Wei Shen.
Although, it appears there’s nonetheless an extended option to go if that is to be the case, with Liu writing in a follow-up tweet: “So few movie initiatives make it from pitch part to greenlight. Pitching execs who don’t perceive the sport has been tiring. Everybody’s overwhelming love of Sleeping Canines right here has actually given us life!”
That is seemingly not all of the actor’s hoping for both, with him having added: “First a film, then a sequel sport for everybody… that’s at all times been the dream.” Oh, hell yeah. In case you have been questioning if Liu’s severe, he is additionally confirmed his slumbering canines data by tweeting the long-lasting line you famously hear no less than 20 occasions each time you hearth up the sport and wander round HK: “A person who by no means eats pork bun isn’t a complete man.”
“If we truly pull this off, my first name shall be to Donnie [Yen],” Liu wrote in one other submit, “Second name could be Will Yun Lee, the unique voice of Wei. Third, to DoorDash to seek out me the closest restaurant that serves pork bun.”
On this barrage of pretty phrases that is sufficient to make any Solar On Yee fanatic’s coronary heart skip a beat, Liu additionally wrote that he’d not wish to painting Shen in a possible Sleeping Canines 2, if one have been to miraculously observe the movie he is attempting to make occur. He advised one Twitterer that he’d be flattered to be requested, however thinks that ought to stay Yun Lee’s function.
Will any of this truly come to fruition? Who is aware of. Fairly probably not, however no less than for now, us sleepy doggos enjoyers have hope once more.
