Holy shit, straight into my veins please.

 

[V-Faction]

VINNY!

Drop the purse.

 

[Salty Rice]

Emma Stone needs to play Emma Stone.

 

[mooncakes]

Please put Sung Kang in this movie.

 

[Hektor]

Cancelling the sequel but making a movie?

SQUARE ENIX

 

[Data West]

Emma Stone needs to play Emma Stone.

Rinko Kakuchi should play Emma Stone

 

[Son Of Sparda]

That's... I.... YES! YES!

 

[RiverKwai]

Steve Buscemi will be in it as Jackie Ma

 

[killatopak]

Cool. Let's hope there's a good martial cast.

early 30 year olds usually dont have that much plastic surgery on their face

That's no plastic surgery. That's Asian skin.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

I love me some Donnie Yen, but this just makes me more sad.

 

[Jason Frost]

Yeah, he's either not going to be Wei or it's going to be way rewritten. The entire thrust of the main plot of SD involves young characters scrapping for their pieces. Kind hard to show when your lead is in his 50s.

I thought the same thing. Donnie Yen is 53 years old.

Wasn't Wei Shen like a rookie cop?

 

[WarRock]

Put Donnie Yen in everything. Including in a new Onimusha, khthx.

 

[Memory]

Awesome!!!!!!

 

[Aselith]

Change it to Sleepy Dogs like the original and I'm in

 

[Booker Dewitt]

I thought the same thing. Donnie Yen is 53 years old.

Wasn't Wei Shen like a rookie cop?

Still pretty fresh in terms of career, but no, he wasn't a rookie.

 

[killatopak]

Put Donnie Yen in everything. Including in a new Onimusha, khthx.

Donnie yen did the choreography for Onimusha all those years ago.

The circle of life is complete

 

[Salarians]

ok, sure, why not

 

[Ushay]

If this movie happens, a game will almost certainly follow

Indeed. This makes me really happy.

 

[MyNameIsRye]

Why not get will Lee who played the guy in the game? He is an actor after all.

 

[gfxtwin]

Still skeptical. Any Hong Kong action movie starring Yen is a dope prospect, but it's still a video game adaptation and several of them star notable actors and still turn out garbage.

 

[Yabberwocky]

My body is hopeful and ready.

 

[killatopak]

Still skeptical. Any Hong Kong action movie starring Yen is a dope prospect, but it's still a video game adaptation and several of them star notable actors and still turn out garbage.

It's a movie played by chinese actors based on a game based in hongkong movies.

??????

 

[Jimrpg]

If this is the only way we get SD2 I'm totally on board.

 

[MadeULook]

Anything that keeps Sleeping Dogs alive is welcome in my book.

 

[PR_rambo]

I would expect this to emulate all the Hong Kong action films that inspired it in the first place. Which means this could be a really fun movie, especially with Donnie Yen as the lead. Man is he old AF to be playing Wei Shen tho

 

[Lautaro]

Ok but who's gonna be fuckin' Dog Eyes.

 

[CamHostage]

Finally, the prequel, where we learn the backstory all about what made Melinda Hamilton's pug so irresistible.

...Wrong Sleeping Dogs?

 

[soldierblue]

yet no sequel...

 

[Tainted]

 

[Zambayoshi]

I'd probably cast Nicholas Tse or Aaron Kwok instead of Donnie (love Donnie though). Problem is getting a big name who's also good at martial arts.

 

[Geeky]

Get James Hong in and I am all good.

 

[KingdomHeartsFan]

Hopefully this sparks interest in a sequel.

 

[Slick Butter]

Shouldn't this just be a John Woo movie

 

[EYEL1NER]

Donnie Yen is a stud, the film can't be any worse than the last Hitman film, and the film could possibly revive the IP for a sequel? I'm in.

 

[j0hnnix]

Well.. Damn this is epic.

 

[wandering]

can he kick ass like Donnie Yen?

[DrSlek]

Emma Stone playing an Asian? That would never happen.

She played an American tourist in the game.

 

[ODDI]

OOOOOooooo

This was my initial reaction lol

 

[Skulldead]

I didn't know until that day that i want that !

 

[SirPinkyNose]

It needs to be R rated.

 

[Hexer06]

Love Donnie Yen!!! I have to agree with other ppl though that he's a bit old for the role. I think he'll still be able to pull it off though. Ip man for life!

 

[JehutyRunner]

I am one with the pork bun, the pork bun is one with me.

(also, yes, I'd happily take an Emma Stone appearance again)

 

[Ploid 3.0]

Oh my God

I really hope this is good. If Emma Stone is in this I will laugh so hard.

They need to reprint Sleeping Dogs with Oscar Winning cast.

 

[Camjo-Z]

Will watch and sneak a pork bun into the theater as a snack.

 

[pezzie]

Gonna go get some pork buns tonight. Thanks Gaf.

 

[Effect]

I'm in. Love Sleeping Dogs. No way in hell they screw this up. Part of what makes Sleeping Dogs so good is because it plays out like a HK martial artist crime movie.

 

[KeyBladerXIII]

TIL Emma Stone actually was in Sleeping Dogs. I thought everyone was shitting on Aloha.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

What? Such an odd IP to do now that the games seem to be dead. Must have been in the works a while.

 

[Based Calla]

I just want to know who is playing Dogeyes.

Spoiler

Fuck Dogeyes!

 

[ViciousDS]

Donnie yen as Wei


Oh shit, great casting there
