Netflix has acquired the upcoming live-action movie adaptation of Sifu. Deadline also reports that Netflix has now acquired T.S. Nowlin to write the script. John Wick’s Chad Stahleski and his 87Eleven Entertainment will produce the film. No director has been attached to the project at this stage.
“The video game developed and published by Sloclap tells a story of revenge set in modern-day China,” Deadline’s article says about the plot. “It follows the student of a martial arts school’s master (Sifu) as he seeks to avenge the murder of his mentor. The twist, however, is that thanks to a magical talisman, each time our hero dies, he’s resurrected, but the price paid is that he ages with every use. And should he become too old too fast, his death shall become permanent, and his quest unfulfilled.”
