Snake Eyes actor wants to star in the Ghost of Tsushima film
Andrew Koji, who portrayed Tommy/Storm Shadow in Snake Eyes, has expressed an interest in Sony’s Ghost of Tsushima movie adaptation.
The Bullet Train and Warriors star toldEntertainment Weekly, “I’m going after Ghost of Tsushima – that’s what I’m going to do.”
In addition to thinking he’d make a “really good Jin Sakai,” Koji said he’s played the game two times. The actor continued,
“I was thinking about it because [the adaptation has] been on the horizon, all the team talking about it. It would have to stand by itself, because the game’s so good. Let that exist by itself, and the film should be something slightly different. That’s the problem with those video game films.”
The Ghost of Tsushima film counts among PlayStation Production’s many multimedia endeavors. Earlier this year, Sony Pictures released the Tom Holland-starring Uncharted movie, which just landed on Netflix.
HBO’sLast of Us TV seriesstarring Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey is expected to air in 2023. PlayStation Productions is also partnering Peacock to produce a Twisted Metal TV show, with Anthony Mackie and Will Arnett in leading parts.
