A unique aspect of Sony's approach is that its series will be spread out among a handful of different streaming services.

The Ghost of Tsushima movie is set to adapt Jin Sakai's story from the 2020 video game of the same name, which follows the samurai as he juggles his moral code with the need to do what is necessary to protect his home from Mongol invaders.

Stahleski is best-known for directing the John Wick franchise, including the upcoming John Wick: Chapter 4.

The game's Kurosawa mode even allows players to experience the entire journey in black and white, as a nod to that classic era of cinema.

The director also said he thinks a western audience would be willing to show up to a theater to read subtitles, given the recent success of international streaming content like Squid Game.
Stahleski added that he's traveled to Japan since age 16, and he has a fondness for the country, the people, and the language.
