Ghost of Tsushima director wants to make the film in Japanese

Foreign films are slowly establishing themselves in pop culture, as evidenced a few years ago parasite, which has preserved its original language. And now, several filmmakers want to continue that line, leading to future adaptations Ghost of Tsushima, Chad StahelskiWants to make a tape in Japanese.

The film was announced earlier this year, as part of the PlayStation franchises where there will be a cinematographic work and series that will reach various streaming platforms and cinemas. It has already happened unpublished And it happens like sagas Horizon Zero Dawn, God of War, Gran Turismo and The Last of Us.

He commented like that Stahelsky Regarding his work with tape:

Honestly, it’s probably the same thing that scares most people. It is a period fantasy piece. It is made in homage to Akira Kurosawa, who is probably in the top five influences in my life. It’s an opportunity to advance technology and people in a timeless story. It’s a simple mythic story of good versus evil, finding a man, him changing the world, or the world changing him. It’s all the Joseph Campbell stuff you’d love in a story. I have a bit of a samurai fetish, which is probably true of manga and anime and stuff.

So I think if we do this right, it will be visually stunning. You have great action, great look opportunities. I mean, it’s a Japanese thing about the Mongols invading Tsushima Island. An all Japanese cast, in Japanese. Sony is so fine with our support. I have been going to Japan since I was 16 years old. I have love for my country, love for people, love for language. Trying to instruct not only in my language, but in someone else’s language and culturally changing my way of thinking in a great way to differentiate that still appeals to a Western audience.

There is no release date for the film yet, but its cast will be revealed in due course. Also, it may finally be that the idea of ​​making it fully Japanese becomes a reality.
