Ghost of Tsushima was undoubtedly one of Sony’s big hits during the PS4 generation. This success was so great that a project to film the game was announced in March 2021. Where has the project been since then? This is exactly what one of the main actors asked.
Chad Stahelski, director of the John Wick films and future director of the film Spirit of Tsushima, recently talked about the latter. The filmmaker was present at the premiere of Matrix: Resurrections and answered questions on the American website IGN.
Avoid the curse of video game movies
When asked about the adaptation of Sucker Punch’s PS4-PS5 game, Chad Stahelski explains that he and his partners don’t want to be in a hurry:
They know what video game customization can do. So let’s take our time and do it right. We work very closely with the game developers to make sure we stick to what makes the game great.
The director of the film Ghost of Tsushima does not go into detail. Still, to reassure the fans of the game, Chad Stahelski claimed that the fans “will be very happy with what they are working on“At the moment the same fans can only take his word for it.
Ghost of Tsushima, a customizable movie game?
As a reminder: Chad Stahelski, Alex Young and Jason Spitz produce the film through their company 87Eleven Entertainment. Asad Qizilbash and Carter Swan are producing the film for PlayStation Productions. Sucker Punch Productions, the developer of the original game, is executive producer through Peter Kang.
Daisuke Tsuji, the Japanese-American comedian who provided Jin Sakai with his facial features, gestures and voice (in English), expressed his interest in the project. He had actually stated with humor that he “agreed to show his buttocks on the screen.“This comment refers to the scenes in Ghost of Tsushima in which the hero is bathing in hot springs.
The process is obviously not advanced enough to discuss a release date. And it is certain that this Ghost of Tsushima film project will be talked about many times before its release.
