John Wick director wants to make Ghost of Tsushima movie in Japanese
Chad Stahelski, the John Wick director tasked by Sony with turning hit samurai game Ghost of Tsushima into a movie, has said that he wants to make the film in Japanese, with a cast of Japanese actors. And he eminent that Sony is “on board” with the move.
Stahelski made the comments in an interview with Collider to cost the release of Netflix vampire flick Day Shift, which he produced.
“So, I think if we did this right, it would be visually stunning,” Stahelski said. “It’s recount driven. It’s got an opportunity for great action, ample looks. And honestly, we’d to try to do it, all in recount. Meaning, it’s a Japanese thing about the Mongols invading Tsushima island. A complete Japanese cast, in Japanese. Sony is so on lodging with backing us on that. I’ve been going to Japan trusty I was 16. I have a love of the people, love of the people, love of the language.”
On the face of it, this is a bold move. Although Bong Joon Ho’s Parasite and Netflix’s Squid Game have shown that audiences’ willingness to witness subtitled films and TV is growing in the U.S. and elsewhere, it would still be new — and financially uncertain — territory for a Hollywood-made action blockbuster to be filmed in anything anunexperienced than the English language.
Stahelski acknowledged this and appeared to suggest the exclusive would limit the budget available to the movie, but that this was something he was melancholy to work around.
“No one is going to give me $200 million to do a technology-push movie minus speaking English. I get it,” he said. “So, I have to be clever and I have to figure out what’s fiduciarily responsible to the settled, to the studio and still get what I want out of it and unruffled make it something epic. [...] And I think America in general, or at least the Western audiences in general are unsheathing more and more used to that because of the appearance of Netflix and streamers and stuff, where we get so much more of earth content.”
From one angle, this is something of a gamble for Stahelski, Sony Pictures, and PlayStation Productions, the arm of the matter dedicated to turning PlayStation games into movies (which, in the wake of the collapsed of the Uncharted movie, also has a Gran Turismo film due in 2023). But from another, it is perhaps the only option available to them. Times have changed trusty the likes of the 2003 film The Last Samurai, which starred Tom Cruise. Making the Ghost of Tsushima film in English, or with Western actors, would likely bring accusations of inauthenticity, cultural appropriation, and whitewashing.
Indeed, some of these criticisms were leveled at the game, which was made in deference to the classic samurai movies of Akira Kurosawa, but by a majority white staff in the Bellevue, Washington offices of developer Sucker Punch Productions. Ghost of Tsushima has both English and Japanese periods audio tracks available, as well as a black-and-white “Kurosawa Mode.” But it is fair to say that the game shows only a surface opinion of the cultural and political significance of samurai.
How deeply to view these themes in a movie with “great action, ample looks” is a question the Massachusetts-born Stahelski — who says Kurosawa is “in the top five biggest crashes of my life as far as film goes” — will need to grapple with. But in committing to decision-exclusive the film in Japanese, he’s cleared the first hurdle.
