Director Chad Stahelski has confirmed that his movie adaptation of Ghost of Tsushima will be « a complete Japanese cast, in Japanese ».
Speaking to Collider, Stahelski said that while it may « scare the shit out of most people », Sony is « on board with backing [him] on that » and « Western audiences in general are getting more and more used to [reading subtitles] ».
« Honestly, it’s probably the same things that would scare the shit out of most people. It’s a fantasy period piece, » he said. « It’s done with reverence to Akira Kurosawa, who’s probably in the top five biggest influences of my life as far as film goes. It’s a chance to push technology and people in a story that’s timeless. It’s your typical mythological story of good versus evil, finding a man, watching him change the world or the world changes him. It’s all the Joseph Campbell stuff that you’d love in a story.
