News of the Sifu movie was revealed years ago, but with Netflix now involved, it shouldn't be too long before we get a trailer

Netflix announced that an adaptation of the video game Sifu is in the works with John Wick's Chad Stahelski as producer.

We learned in December 2022 that a production company had signed on to turn Sloclap's excellent martial arts game Sifu into a film. Today, the news dropped that Netflix is involved with the project, which seems to have caused some personnel shuffling behind the scenes.

Netflix has joined the Sifu film project, adapting Sloclap's kung-fu roguelike for the big screen. The project was first revealed in 2022, with Story Kitchen producing - that's the company behind other video game adaptations like the Sonic the Hedgehog films, the forthcoming Tomb Raider and Streets of Rage adaptations, and more.

Netflix has “come aboard” the in-development live-action movie adaptation of Sifu and selected a screenwriter, Deadline says. The adaptation was initially announced in late 2022, but there’s still no indication of if or when it might be released.

The film adaptation of Slocap's martial arts video game Sifu has found a home at Netflix and will be produced Chad Stahelski's 87Eleven.

Writer: T.S. Nowlin is adapting and best known for writing THE MAZE RUNNER trilogy for 20th Century Fox and, most recently, co-writing THE ADAM PROJECT for Netflix.
