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.

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.

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.
