PlayStation Productions is spinning up all kinds of yarns right now, and we're pretty excited to see Jin Sakai make the jump to the big screen. We knew that the Ghost of Tsushima flick was intended to be a visual treat, and veteran stuntman and John Wick director Chad Stahelski has confirmed the film is currently in "heavy development".
In a gargantuan, wide-ranging interview with ComicBookMovie.com, Stahelski was asked about the development of the PlayStation adaption right at the end. Stahelski expressed his love for the IP and then described the biggest issue the project faces, which, quite frankly, sounds like a great problem to have:
"The trick is not do we have great material; we know we have great material. It's how to make it palpable in any platform, you know, how do we make a great two, two and a half hour movie out of this? Make it satisfying and leave it open to expand further from there, like that's the real challenge, how to take so much great and get it down to a watchable level. "
We look forward to seeing how the finished product turns out and how Stahelski and co ultimately go about bringing feudal Tsushima to life. Are you excited to see Jin's film debut in the Ghost of Tsushima film adaptation? Ride off into the sunset that is the comments section below.

Keanu Reeves as Jin Sakai??? Nicholas Cage as Khan??? 🤯🤯🤯 never know 😎😎😎
Dwayne Johnson must have the leading role in this.
Too soon anyone?
@Czar_Khastik if so, Kevin Hart must join too.
I'm excited but worried. I hope they have a full Japanese cast, at the very least. Now I wanna re-watch 12 samurai again, man I love that film.
I hope they take inspiration from RAN, and try to at least make it look, or feel, like a Akira Kurosawa movie.
The game is absolutely brilliant, but a film? It could be good. Film adaptations of games have been getting better.
@tameshiyaku off topic, but I wonder whats happened to that Borderlands Movie, seems like it was years ago when they was filming that film and heard nothing since.
If they nail the family aspect, learning new ways after such a big loss, the descent into more brutal revenge and fear based tactics, the internal struggles, the prison camp scene, and a final duel, this will be absolutely epic 👹
Also, Ken Watanabe as Lord Shimura and Benedict Wong as the Kahn, please.
