Chad Stahelski Wants to MakeGhost of TsushimaMovie in Japanese
During an interview with Collider, Chad Stahelski shared that he wants to make theGhost of Tsushimamovie in Japanese. He shared that he has a lot of love for the East Asian country as he has been visiting Japan since he was 16 years old.
And as the story follows the invasion of Tsushima island by Mongols, the director thinks that making the film with a Japanese cast in their native language would make sense. He also said that Sony is also “backing”the idea.
The film is still in its pre-production process and considering Stahelski is still busy with his upcoming film,John Wick: Chapter 4, it may take a little longer for him to start working on theGhost of Tsushimaproject.
