A movie centering on Ghost of Tsushima, the PlayStation exclusive game, is currently in the works from Sucker Punch Productions and Sony Pictures. The director of John Wick, Chad Stahelski, is being brought in to direct the Ghost of Tsushima film.
That's pretty much the extent of the news on this film right now. If you were hoping for more details, there simply aren't any. We do not know what the plot will focus on, if it will take any liberties compared to the game, nor do we know of any of the potential actors that the studios are looking to bring in to play the role of Jin.
But hey, we have some bonus news for you today. According to Sucker Punch's Nate Fox on the PlayStation Blog, Ghost of Tsushima has sold over 6.5 million copies. He goes on to note that about half of those sales have completed the game.
The idea of translating our game into a new medium is exciting, and we’re intrigued by the possibilities. We’ve all been brought to tears in a movie theater surrounded by strangers. (Thanks a lot, E.T.) We’ve all gone to a movie on opening night when the crowd is so excited that they cheer as the lights go down. It’s a group experience that isn’t replicated anywhere else. To think that we could sit in the theater someday watching Jin Sakai up on the big screen is amazing. We’d all relive his tense transformation into the Ghost from a whole new vantage point.
