Last year’s critically acclaimed, award-winning video game Ghost of Tsushima from Sucker Punch Productions and Sony Interactive Entertainment is getting a feature film adaptation, with Deadline reporting today that Chad Stahelski (all three John Wick movies) is on board to direct the movie for Sony Pictures and PlayStation Productions.
The top-selling game, Deadline details, “centers around samurai warrior Jin Sakai, the last surviving member of his clan, who must set aside the traditions that have shaped him as a warrior to wage an unconventional war for the freedom of Tsushima.”

We love working with creative partners like Chad, who have a passion for our games, ensuring we can create rich adaptations that will excite our fans and new audiences.” said Asad Qizilbash, Head of PlayStation Productions.
