Ghost Of Tsushima Movie Is In The Works From The Director Of John Wick

In a recent blog post, Sucker Punch Productions’ Nate Fox has just announced that Ghost of Tsushima is getting a movie adaptation. The critically acclaimed action-adventure game’s movie adaptation will be a joint production between Sony Pictures and PlayStation Productions and will be helmed by Chad Stahelski, the director of the immensely popular John Wick series starring Keanu Reeves.

“Chad Stahelski created something special with John Wick,” said Fox. “His vision for what could be, backed up by years of experience, combined to create some of the finest action scenes ever created. If anyone could bring to life the razor-sharp tension of Jin’s katana combat, it’s Chad Stahelski.”

He also mentions that Ghost of Tsushima has now sold over 6.5 million copies. The game was also the PS4’s fastest-selling first-party original IP debut with over 2.4 million copies in its first three days. It was also nominated and won numerous awards from many gaming-related awards ceremonies.

Fox along with Jason Connel, his co-director for Ghost of Tsushima was also recently appointed as ambassadors of the real island of Tsushima in Japan. The appointment was in recognition of their efforts in bringing attention to the island, which, according to Tsushima’s mayor, Hiroki Hitakatsu, even the Japanese don’t really know about.

There is no official release date for the Ghost of Tsushima to look forward to at the moment so we’ll just have to wait until further notice. If you haven’t played the game and are interested to do so, you can check out our review of the game first right here.

Pokdepinion: This is huge! Chad Stahelski is an amazing action director so you know the action scenes in the Ghost of Tsushima movie are going to be absolutely awesome. I wonder if Stahelski will bring in Keanu Reeves too? If he does, consider my butt sold. Also, I’m really hoping the ‘video game movie curse’ won’t affect this movie.
