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 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 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.

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.

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 is now involved with the film adaptation of video game Sifu, which seems to have caused some personnel shuffling.

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.
