Netflix has officially partnered with the creators of the acclaimed video game Sifu to adapt its compelling narrative into a feature film.

T.S. Nowlin, renowned for his contributions to the Maze Runner series and Netflix's Project Adam, has been recruited to write the screenplay. While Derek Kolstad, initially tasked with adapting Sifu's story, might still be involved, his current role in the project remains ambiguous.
The production team has also welcomed Chad Stahelski, the visionary behind the John Wick franchise, and his company 87Eleven Entertainment as executive producers. Stahelski is simultaneously engaged in another ambitious video game adaptation, Ghost of Tsushima.
Since its launch in 2022, Sifu has captivated gamers worldwide, achieving over one million sales within just three weeks. The game chronicles the journey of a young martial artist driven by vengeance for their master's murder. With a mystical pendant that revives them after death but ages them significantly each time, the protagonist navigates a perilous path filled with danger and mystery.
