When Sleeping Canines arrived in 2012, nobody anticipated it to grow to be an instantaneous basic on the planet of GTA-like video games the way in which it did. Whereas it by no means did get a sequel or something past the 2014 Definitive Version remaster, it stays a treasured title within the eyes of many gamers.

We possible gained’t be getting a brand new Sleeping Canines sport anytime quickly, however for years there was actual hope we’d be getting a film primarily based on the sport, with Donnie Yen main the cost.

Now, sadly, Yen has revealed that the Sleeping Canines movie is not within the works, and gained’t be taking place, a minimum of not this time round.

In an interview with Polygon, on a Zoom name Yen mentioned “I spent lots of time and did lots of work with these producers, and I even invested a few of my very own cash into acquiring the drafts and among the rights. 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. Effectively, on to higher issues.”

We first bought wind of Yen engaged on a Sleeping Canines movie again in 2017, with Yen offering small updates in 2018 and 2020 that the film was nonetheless taking place.

Since then nonetheless, the winds clearly modified. An odd and unlucky conclusion, contemplating the truth that movie and TV diversifications of video video games has grow to be more and more common in recent times.
