Last week, Hideo Kojima and his studio Kojima Productions revealed during the Game Awards a game for the ecosystem Xbox baptized ODwhose strange teaser serving mainly to introduce the cast included references to P.T. And silent Hill. Obviously, fans who were waiting for news of Death Stranding 2 may have been disappointed, which had been made official with great fanfare during last year’s edition with a video testifying to development which was visibly well advanced. We won’t hear from him today, but it’s still the license that interests us. One year after the announcement of a feature film live-action Death Strandingwe have news about the project.
We already knew that it would be developed by Kojima Productions US with the financial support of Hammerstone Studios. Well, another major studio is added to the list, A24. If you don’t know this company founded in 2012, it financed and distributed Everything Everywhere All at Once, and has a penchant for horror productions and dealing with supernatural elements. Obviously, a universe such as Death Stranding must have caught his eye.
Here is what declared Hideo Kojima, specifying that it will not be a simple adaptation of the game.
A24 was born into this world around 10 years ago, their presence is unique within the industry, they are unlike any other. The films they bring to the world are high quality and very innovative. I was drawn to their designs and they even inspired my own work. Their innovative approach to storytelling aligns with what Kojima Productions has been doing for 8 years. NOW, we are making a Death Stranding film together. There are many “game adaptation films”, but what we create is not just a direct translation of the game. The intention is that our audience is not just fans of the games, but that our film is aimed at everyone who loves cinema. We’re creating a Death Stranding universe that’s never been seen before, only possible through filmhe will be born.
