The hit video game Ghost of Tsushima from Sucker Punch Productions and Sony Interactive Entertainment is getting a feature film adaptation, as we recently learned, with Chad Stahelski (all three John Wick movies) on board to direct the movie for Sony Pictures and PlayStation Productions. Today, Deadline provides an update on the upcoming project.
Takashi Doscher (Only) will write the screenplay for the Ghost of Tsushima movie.

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.
