Chad Stahelski Wants to Adapt Ghost of Tsushima in Japanese

Back when the surprise hit Parasite won the Academy Award for Best Film in 2020, internationally acclaimed filmmaker Bong Joon-ho reminded viewers that “Once you overcome the one-inch-tall barrier of subtitles, you will be introduced to so many more amazing films.” Now, in an exclusive interview with Collider, film director Chad Stahelski (John Wick: Chapter 4) is echoing those words and teasing that he intends to prove Bong right by filming the upcoming Ghost of Tsushima movie adaptation entirely in Japanese.

Inspired by the body of work from legendary filmmaker Akira Kurosawa, Ghost of Tsushima was released for PlayStation 4 in 2020, and has since become one of the most acclaimed and fastest-selling titles, with over 9 million copies sold within two years of the game’s release. The game’s audio options came with a Japanese track (with English subtitles), in order for players to have a much more immersive experience when embodying a character from 13th-century Japan. The film's adaptation with Stahelski was announced earlier this year, much to the excitement of fans of the video game.

I think they should do what they did with Prey and just make 2 different versions, one in English and one in Japanese.
