Early last year, we reported that Donnie Yen was set to star in a film based on the game Sleeping Dogs. He would honestly be perfect for the role, seeing as how Sleeping Dogs is basically a hodgepodge of a bunch of Yen’s previous films. Without even announcing the film was shooting, Donnie Yen took to Instagram to confirm that production has stated on the project.

A post shared by (@donnieyenofficial) on

I’m actually pretty excited for this. What spurred me to play Sleeping Dogs in the first place was watching Yen in and wanting to live that in a game. What I ended up getting was something resembling Yen’s film with a combination of Jackie Chan’s . While Yakuza better captures the philosophy behind martial arts, Sleeping Dogs had the Chinese setting and crazy car chases😼 that typify modern Hong Kong action films.

Hopefully this comes together well, because I could use another good Kung 🔥Fu film in my life.
