Though the video game adaptation genre is more alive than ever, Donnie Yen‘s long-gestating adaptation of an underrated action game has found itself scrapped. Having begun his career as a stuntman in the Hong Kong film industry, Yen steadily enjoyed a rise to stardom as an actor in the ’90s with the TV adaptation of Bruce Lee’s Fist of Fury, as well as making his directorial debut with 1997’s Legend of the Wolf. The 2000s, however, would see him break out on an international scope as he began choreographing and appearing in many Hollywood action movies, namely Blade II and the Oscar-nominated Hero.
