When Total Film requested Stahelski for a standing verify on “Ghost of Tsushima,” his response advised manufacturing shouldn’t be but in full drive, and whereas he desires to make it his subsequent directing focus, he hasn’t totally made up his thoughts for what to prioritize in his pile of labor. As Stahelski described it:
“[‘Ghost of Tsushima’] could be my favourite to do subsequent. With out going into loopy element, it is one thing I am super-interested in. Now we have a extremely nice script. Now we have a extremely good artistic workforce behind it. It is nearly getting all of the enterprise finish of issues locked in. It is type of in that little little bit of flux the place everyone is attempting to tighten up the deal to get every part going, and to ensure we do the perfect with it. It is a easy factor: getting an awesome script, and beginning to put collectively a forged. It simply takes quite a lot of shifting components.”
For as a lot negativity as we will learn into Stahelski’s feedback, there’s loads of excellent news to remove. Doscher’s script sounds to be coming alongside, and it is extra casting and resourcing that must be settled. Stahelski in the end got here off as reassuring:
“Clearly, ‘Ghost’ is a particular venture. Everyone realises it. Everyone desires to do it, with the introduction of recent applied sciences and a brand new method to do the epic samurai vibe […] There’s simply quite a lot of issues to place collectively earlier than we actually pull the set off on making it, principally from my facet creatively. And we’re in that course of proper now, attempting to tug every part collectively so we knock it out of the park.”
For a greater sense of what’s capturing Stahelski’s consideration, we’ll need to look out for information on “John Wick 5” and “Highlander.” The March 2023 situation of Whole Movie will hit newsstands on February 2.
