I will watch this movie.

 

[Pachimari]

I'm just going to post the same thing that I did in the other thread


Oh shiiiiiit!!

What movie is this from?

 

[EPaul]

I didn't know i want this but i do now

 

[Bishop89]

What movie is this from?

SPL

Known in other regions as Kill zone SPL

 

[AuthenticM]

maybe this adaptation could pave the way for a sequel to the game?

 

[Catvoca]

Sleeping Dogs does not in any way need a film adaption but I'm still down for watching this.

Wei Shen - 15 years later

 

[whatsinaname]

I hope he isnt in the main role. They need someone american, or british with an american accent.

But I can see why they wouldnt if theyre banking on the international box office.

Part of Wei Chen's deal is that he's a young cop who just came back to Hong Kong...

Why even call this Sleeping Dogs if you're just going to change the entire premise?

Too old, and not American.

We need a young Asian American in the role. Have Donnie Yen play a mentor or something.

It's really conflicting. Wei Shen's a video game character, so, naturally, he's a martial arts god. Which lines up well with Donnie Yen.

But you literally couldn't ask for a better role to go out and look for a Chinese American actor, or at least an Asian American one. So naturally, they give it to the foreign born superstar.

It would be cool if they could get Will Yun Lee to play Wei Shen. I would rather have an Asian American play Wei since coming back from the States is part of his character.

...

And in the game, Wei Shen was born in HK and moved to America when he was 10.

[EchoChamber]

Is this really happening?

 

[AngryMoth]

Kind of down for this? His age doesn't matter they can just age the character up and it would be fine

 

[Billfisto]

Things I want to see:

1. Pork Buns.
2. Karaoke.
3. The Wedding.
4. Someone doubting someone else's masculinity, with the solution being "pork buns".
5. Jumping from car to car.
6. Someone expressing their dislike of Dogeyes.
7. James Hong.

 

[BluenoseGames]

That is honestly a perfect casting choice but I just want a sequel to Sleeping Dogs...

 

[Sblargh]

Love me some Ip Man, so I am down with this.
Also, Wei Shen is chinese you doofuses. His sister got involved with drugs, family moved to the states, then he moved back when older.

Could be a story sequel to the game, an older Wei Shen wasting his life on drunk karaoke nights, his police career going nowhere, he gets into debt and becomes a corrupt cop... Or does he?

 

[Gai Murakumo]

I did not know I wanted a Sleeping Dogs movie till now. Does that mean the franchise is not dead and a potential for a Sequel may be possible even if it is not with the original devs?

 

[Tom Nook]

HOLY F Yeah!

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

Eddie Peng could be perfect for this movie as well, he is young and could go more inline with the game also he fucking kickass

 

[Plywood]

The people who worked on this live action bit for Square: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WgWMgGrZDY should audition for some roles.

 

[nemisis0]

This should be good

 

[KyanMehwulfe]

Wei Shen, motherfucker.

Wei Shen Mother Fucker

 

[emag]

Finally, we've got a contender for a good videogame movie.

 

[KiraXD]

Man... Yen is one of my favorite Martial Artists of all time...(along with Jet li obvi)
