The Ghost Of Tsushima Movie Could Be ‘In Japanese,’ According To The Film’s Director

PlayStation and Sucker Punch Productions’ 2020 hit, Ghost of Tsushima, is being developed into a feature film with John Wick director Chad Stehelski set to direct it. Although Takashi Doscher was hired earlier this year to write the film, it seems that it is still in early stages of development. But, we could get some more details from Stehelski’s interview. 

Stehelski reveals more ColliderThe movie could feature a Japanese-speaking cast. It is also possible that it might be translated into Japanese. He said Sony has also expressed interest in the project. Here’s what he had to say:

“[I]If we do this correctly, it will be stunning. It’s character driven. It’s got an opportunity for great action, great looks. And honestly, we’d try to do it, all in character. Meaning, it’s a Japanese thing about the Mongols invading Tsushima island. The complete Japanese cast. Sony has backed us so strongly. I’ve been going to Japan since I was 16. It is a country I love, the culture, and the people. To try to direct not only in my language, but someone else’s and culturally shift my mindset to bring apart that in a cool way that still entices a Western audience.” 

Although this sounds great, it is possible that things could change as the project is still in its early stages. It’s great to hear that Sony’s on board with the idea, though!
