DONNIE YEN TO HEADLINE LIVE ACTION ADAPTATION OF SLEEPING DOGS.
After more than 2 years from being announced, it looks like Donnie Yen has finally started prepping for Sleeping Dogs! Yen gave an update via his official Instagram.

“Now I know a lot of people are very excited about Sleeping Dogs, but we still have a way to go in development. Its taken a while but we’ve finally found a wriiter that myself and Neal Moritz the Producer have agreed upon, and he’s got to work on the script, as we really want it to be accurate, we want it to reflect the real Hong Kong and the game. Its been a long journey, we;ve had to deal with some obstacles, Square Enix finally signed off on everything. Its taken a lot of time, international projects just take a lot of time even for prep, in Hong Kong I could have made 5 movies in the time its taken just to get started on this one! The good thing is that we’re all on the same page, we all want this to work and ready to move forward.”

Dem Yen sein Eagle Path.

Wieder so ein rätselhaftes Projekt. Ich liebe das Spiel, aber es war ein ziemlicher Flop, sodass die angekündigte Fortsetzung gar nicht erst in die Gänge kam und der Online-Ableger nach kurzer Beta-Phase ebenfalls gecancelt wurde. Inhaltlich setzt Sleeping Dogs auf gängige Mafia- oder Triadenfilm-Klischees, als auch hier nichts Neues oder Spezielles. Weswegen kettet man sich also an diese Marke? Selbst Leute, die das Spiel 2012 gespielt haben, dürften wohl kaum ungeduldig dieser Verfilmung harren.
