The live-action film adaptation of Square Enix's open-world action-adventure game "Sleeping Dogs" was reportedly halted last year, with original lead Donnie Yen confirming his departure. However, in a surprise announcement this past January, Simu Liu revealed to fans that he had already taken over the starring role. Now, nearly a year later, Liu, currently on a press tour, has unexpectedly disclosed the director for the upcoming movie.

During a recent interview to promote his new Peacock sci-fi spy series "The Copenhagen Test," Simu Liu provided an update on the "Sleeping Dogs" live-action adaptation. He confirmed that Indonesian action director Timo Tjahjanto, known for helming "Nobody 2" and "The Night Comes for Us," is set to direct the project. The screenwriter, however, has not yet been publicly announced.
