“You have to will things into existence. I think the two things that I am closest and most interested in are ‘Highlander’ and ‘Ghost of Tsushima,'” Chad Stahelski explained. “Both amazing, amazing properties; the story of ‘Ghost’ is also one of my favorite properties of all time.”
“Ghost of Tsushima” follows a samurai named Jin Sakai, who survives a massacre by Mongolian forces on the island of Tsushima in Japan. As he sets out for revenge, he is conflicted between fighting as an honorable ronin or adapting guerrilla warfare and stealth techniques to kill his enemies before they see him.
Stahelski’s enthusiasm could double as good news for more patient gamers, especially since “Highlander” will likely be great with him at the helm (he has a strong track record as a director). Still, it means that “Ghost of Tsushima” could be as much as five years away if he stays on board.
Previously, Stahelski has been the man behind all four John Wick films, and with two to four-year production times on those projects, it’s easy to imagine fans not seeing “Ghost of Tsushima” in theaters until at least 2027 or so. We’ll have to cross our fingers and hope the movie releases sooner rather than later.
