Ghost of Tsushima movie finds its writer

Takashi Doscher will write the upcoming Ghost of Tsushima movie, it has been officially confirmed. While still in its early stages, we are starting to see a number of names being attached to the project.

The Ghost of Tsushima movie will be the second film from PlayStation Productions, a Sony division set up specifically for adapting the company’s gaming IP for television and the silver screen. The first film, Uncharted, hit cinemas back in February 2022 after a very long time in production. It may not have been praised by critics but has a been a clear success, already grossing $383.7 million worldwide.

Takashi Doscher is likely a name PlayStation fans haven’t come across, though he’s steadily amassed writing credits on a number of films including 2018’s Still, and 2019’s Only, both of which he also directed.

Other names attached to the Ghost of Tsushima movie including John Wick series director, Chad Stahelski, with Sony’s Asad Qizilbash and Carter Swan as PlayStation Productions producers.

We still know little about the upcoming movie, though would hazard a guess it follows the events of the game on which it’s based. Having sold more than 8 million copies, Ghost of Tsushima tells the tale of lone warrior, Jin Sakai, who must defend the island of Tsushima against unrelenting Mongol hordes. As we see throughout his journey, there’s more depth to this character than a vengeful swordsman as he struggles between upholding the samurai code and taking a more effective (yet dishonourable) path to repel Tsushima’s invaders.

We’re a long way off from seeing what the film will look like. In the meantime, PlayStation Productions is busy developing an HBO television series based on The Last of Us, with a Twisted Metal TV show also coming to Peacock. Having acquired Bungie earlier this year, it looks as though Sony is keen for movies, TV, and comics based on the Destiny IP.
