In the crossroads where video games and cinema intersect, stands a lone man Chad Stahelski. The heralded director of the John Wick series, which recently entered the billion-dollar club on the backs of the success of John Wick: Chapter 4, has effectively brought the bar for action films to a much higher level ever since the franchise's first film debuted in 2014. Now, with the sweet war drums of success still ringing in his ears, Stahelski turns his particular gaze towards a different story: bringing Ghost of Tsushima to life.
In a recent interview with ComicBookMovie, Stahelski, critically acknowledged for his spectacular portrayal of action and gritty storytelling, unraveled some intriguing insights about the forthcoming adaptation. He heralded it as the "most anti-samurai samurai movie out there," an unconventional take on the classic samurai theme that challenges tradition and calls for a fresh interpretation of the genre.
This bold claim finds its roots in the riveting narrative of Jin Sakai, the protagonist of the PlayStation-exclusive title that may or may not arrive on the PC soon.
