EDIT: Your thread has a better title though
Please do. The one thing that bugged me about Prey was the Comanche dub was just a dub and not the actors speaking it on screen even tho it WAS the actors speaking on the dub
Tom Holland, hah, he can't bring his acting up to par with Chris Pratt! Chris Pratt as Jin will be amazing and powerful.
More details from the interview.
This should absolutely happen. Having an all-Japanese cast is an absolute must, but even if they were to speak English, it would still be very strange. Hope this actually happens.
Even with an english cast, Sony is never going to spend $200m on a GoT movie, that's A LOT of money.
Gotta be honest, if the entire movie is subbed, I don't think I'll watch in theaters. My eyes aren't good enough to read subtitles that long from that far away. Obviously, I'd have to see trailers to make my final decision, but it is a a bit of a negative for me personally.
Shoot in Japanese, dub in English, release in English countries widely with dub but also have alternate screenings in Japanese at places like Alamo Drafthouse.

What a hilarious turd this IP is
I can't imagine what he'd be doing to need 200m for a Ghost movie. The Last Samurai cost 140m, and that was with Tom almost certainly eating up a lot of the budget because he was massive back then.
Prey has shown that this is doable and many people have gone back to watch the movie another time in Comanche (they also used AI to alter the actors lips to make it sync up, same tech as FFVIIR I think) - obviously there would have to be an English version, but this seems very doable, especially on streaming/bluray/digital release, and with how many people watch anime subbed vs dubbed
I mean these laughable claims to authenticity amidst a culturally appropriative hodgepodge of a game made by Western creatives
Would be cool if they collabed with a Japanese fight choreographer too: Kensuke Sonomura (Hydra), Kenji Tanigaki (Rurouni Kenshin), Yugo Sakamoto (Baby Assassins), etc., all premiere craftsmen of modern Japanese action choreo/stuntwork. Those guys with a Hollywood buget and a director who knows how to shoot action with clarity would be incredible; Kenji Tanigaki worked on Snake Eyes but his choreo was butchered in the edit
But how do we get Tom Cruise in there?
Haven't played the game, but excited to watch this movie if it truly is this. Need more historic epics in my life
No? Are you?
Is this a relevant question in my response to my argument? No, it isn't. There are plenty of good pieces out there written both by people who are and aren't Japanese about the issues with Ghost of Tsushima. I'd encourage you to read them rather than just playing the 'outraged weeb' card.

Game was not created by a Japanese studio. You don't need a Japanese director to make the movie authentic. Japanese actors speaking in Japanese would be amazing though.
....an all-asian (accounting for the Mongol characters) cast should have been expected from day one. what, was somebody actually considering putting a random white dude in a samurai story in 2022?
The game was praised in Japan for the way it brought Japan in the Era to gaming.
Did you play it?

I am as a diaspora and with family in Japan. I've read them as well, and have differing opinions given my conversations with friends & family back in Japan and with family that lives in the West. So kindly piss off with the "weeb outrage" energy card out the gate.
The western creatives that got praise by a lot of respectable japanese gaming creators and even are ambassadors of the island?
Always funny when a non-japanese person comes out calling this game cultural appropriation.
How about we let the people in japan decide:
'Ghost of Tsushima' developers appointed ambassadors of Tsushima Island
The lead developers behind the open-world samurai title, 'Ghost of Tsushima' have been appointed ambassadors of the real-world island.
