One of the best and most popular video games in the last couple of years is the Sony PlayStation game, the Ghost of Shushima.

I've always wondered if I pronounced Shushima right, but I hope that I am.

No one's ever corrected me when I've said it that way.

Anyway, it was recently, at the most recent video game awards, it was nominated for Game of the Year, Director of the Year, I think Soundtrack of the Year, all that kind of stuff.

It is a truly louded game.

One of the other things that we know is that over the last little while, Sony, particularly their division of PlayStation, have developed an entire movie and entertainment production arm, strictly focused on taking Sony PlayStation video game properties and turning them into narrative entertainment.

And Ghost of Shushima is getting that treatment.

Now, come, this is coming out, it's from Deadline, who is writing that John Wick director, Chad Stolesky is developing and is going to be directing a Ghost movie for Sony.

This is what they wrote in there. Now, this is just breaking. This just came out this morning.

Sony Pictures and PlayStation Productions are developing a film adaptation of the hugely successful action-adventure game, Ghost of Shushima, with Chad Stolesky attached to direct.

The game recently crossed the massive milestone of selling over 6.5 million copies since its July 2020 debut.

The game is developed by sucker punch productions and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment and centers around Samurai Warrior, Jin Sakai, that the last surviving member of his clan, who must set aside the traditions that have shaped him as a warrior to wage an unconventional war for the freedom of Shushima.

So, this is coming out. Now, this is exciting on several levels. It's exciting on several levels and for several reasons.

Number one, the action in this game. Now, I have not sat down to physically play the game myself.

I've just sat in a room with some buddies playing the game for several hours on end.

The action in the game is incredible. Like, the action is fantastic.

And the story is great. And the visuals are fantastic. So, you take, and it's got most importantly, for transferring it over to a live action movie, it's got great narrative.

Not a lot of games have that, but it's got great narrative. So, you take all of that, you put it together, and you bring in the director of John Wick.

Oh, man.

And it's something like this.

Dude.

And all of a sudden, you're dealing with something that is potentially very, very exciting.
