Just how many game-based movie are announced that end up falling in the vaporware zone and end up just either forgotten or cancelled?
Bet this is gonna have the same fate, eh.

I don't understand. Doesn't Akira Kurosawa already exist?

This goes for the game and the movie: when you get an actual historical event, and then defecate on it, this makes me lose the immersion completely.
Some liberties are acceptable, but the game goes way beyond that.

The problem here is that fo a video game the story sometimes is just a cherry on top of the cake (when everything else is good, witch is the case of Ghost of Tsushima). For a movie, on other hand, the story is everything (porn and horror being exceptions), so I know beforehand that I will not like this adaptation.

Takayuki Yamada got the face.

Can't wait for for a tragic director pick or bad casting to put this project down, sad.

Hopefully they get an asian lead!

Hopefully they get an asian lead!

I presume if it is feudal Japan era they might make an effort towards that end, though it is Hollywood so who knows.
That said would it especially matter? Good acting is good acting.
