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.

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 is moving forward with the movie adaptation of the popular video game Sifu, having recently assigned T.S. Nowlin to write the script, replacing John Wick creator Derek Kolstad. T.S. Nowlin is known for his work on the Maze Runner trilogy and more.

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.

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.

Netflix has acquired the upcoming live-action movie adaptation of Sifu. It was announced in December 2022 that Story Kitchen had partnered with Sloclap to adapt the 2022 beat ‘em up video game Sifu into a feature film.

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.

Netflix announced the collaboration today. It has some big names attached to it, though no actors have been confirmed for any roles. It's currently unknown if this will be a 1:1 adaptation of the game's plot,
