Netflix has come aboard the feature adaptation of Slocap’s popular video game Sifu and tapped T.S. Nowlin to write the script. Insiders add that Chad Stahelski and his 87Eleven Entertainment banner have joined Story Kitchen as producers, and he will now produce with his partners Jason Spritz and Alex Young, as will Dmitri M. Johnson and Mike Goldberg for Story Kitchen.

The video game developed and published by Sloclap tells a story of revenge set in modern-day China. It follows the student of a martial arts school’s master (Sifu) as he seeks to avenge the murder of his mentor. The twist, however, is that thanks to a magical talisman, each time our hero dies, he’s resurrected, but the price paid is that he ages with every use. And should he become too old too fast, his death shall become permanent, and his quest unfulfilled.

Timothy I. Stevenson & Elena Sandoval are executive producing. Jeff Ludwig is also executive producing alongside Sloclap’s Jordan Layani and Pierre Tarno.
