Chad Stahelski’s Ghost of Tsushima adaptation may be coming to us sooner than we think. The John Wick director was tapped to direct a live-action version of the Sucker Punch game back in 2021, and has since made his excitement for the film endearingly clear. Stahelski told Collider of his plans to shoot the film entirely in Japanese, and with an all-Japanese cast, that same year. The director seemed confident that Western audiences would be game for a foreign-language film, but there is one other variable that might have been standing in the way of this project getting the greenlight: the “video game curse.”
