Dang it. Sleeping Canines – an excellent recreation about an undercover cop infitrating Hong Kong’s triads by mendacity and backing that mendacity up by kicking half the inhabitants of the particular administrative area proper within the face – is not set to be getting a movie adaptation starring Donnie Yen.
I do know, fellow slumbering canines enjoyer, I am unhappy too. We’ll recover from it, although, in all probability be re-installing the Definitive Version and slapping the t*ts off of some hoodlums hiding away in an alleyway in Central – doubtless subsequent to a type of good blue lockboxes.
This now dead-in-the-water live-action movie – first introduced again in 2017 – would have seen Yen, recognized for his roles in Rogue One, John Wick: Chapter 4, and the Ip Man franchise, tackle taking part in protagonist Wei Shen. The actor’s now confirmed to Polygon that this seemingly is not on the playing cards anymore.
“I spent quite a lot of time and did quite a lot of work with these producers, and I even invested a few of my very own cash into acquiring the drafts and a few of the rights,” he stated. “I waited for years. Years. And I actually need to do it. I’ve all these visions in my head, and sadly… I don’t know, you know the way Hollywood goes, proper? I spent many, a few years on it. It was an unlucky factor.”
Yen concluded by including: “Properly, on to raised issues.”
Rattling. Take into consideration how good it might have been. Particularly if Yen had introduced the identical swagger he had as Caine in that John Wick film – a personality that is already set to get his personal spin-off movie – to the function.
That is simply the destiny of us sleepy doggos followers, it might appear. No sequels, no film, simply limitless journeys to kung fu the crap out of a sure crime boss recognized for his massive grin.
