John Wick Director To Helm Ghost Of Tsushima Film Adaptation

Sony Interactive Entertainment and Sucker Punch Productions’ hit Playstation game Ghost of Tsushima is being adapted for the screen according to Deadline, with John Wick director Chad Stahelski leading the charge. Ghost of Tsushima, an open-world action-adventure stealth game, is about Jin Sakai – the head of the Sakai clan and a samurai warrior – as he sets off on a quest to protect Tsushima Island during the Mongol invasion of Japan. The game has sold over 6.5 million copies since its release in July 2020, with 2.4 million of those in the first three days after release. The game has been praised for its visuals and content, taking heavy cues from the films of legendary filmmaker Akira Kurosawa, whose samurai films include Seven Samurai and Yojimbo. The trailer for the Ghost of Tsushima video game can be found below:

Sony Pictures and PlayStation Productions are set to develop the film, which is now their second game-to-film collaborative project. The first, Uncharted, stars Tom Holland in the role of treasure hunter Nathan Drake and is set to be released on February 11, 2022. Sony Pictures Television and PlayStation Productions are also working to adapt the hit video game series The Last of Us as a series for HBO, with Chernobyl screenwriter Craig Mazin attached as the writer and executive producer. With Sony video game hits Uncharted and The Last of Us being adapted to live-action features, it seems like a no-brainer that Ghost of Tsushima would be next. Here’s hoping someone decides to adapt Red Dead Redemption…
