Netflix has officially teamed up with the creators of the acclaimed video game Sifu to bring its compelling story to the big screen. Initially announced in 2022, the film adaptation was being developed by Story Kitchen in collaboration with Sloclap, the game's developer. However, recent updates from Deadline reveal that the production team has significantly expanded.

The streaming giant has enlisted T.S. Nowlin, renowned for his contributions to the Maze Runner franchise and Netflix's Project Adam, to craft the screenplay. While Derek Kolstad, who was initially involved in adapting Sifu's narrative, may still have a role, his current involvement remains uncertain.
The project's allure has attracted top-tier talent, with Chad Stahelski, the visionary behind the John Wick series, and his production company 87Eleven Entertainment joining as executive producers. Stahelski is also currently engaged in another high-profile video game adaptation, Ghost of Tsushima.
Since its release in 2022, Sifu has captivated audiences, selling over one million copies within just three weeks. The game follows the journey of a young martial artist on a quest for vengeance following their master's murder. Equipped with a mystical pendant that revives them after death but ages them several years each time, the protagonist navigates a perilous world filled with danger and intrigue.
