Last December, Deadline reported that a Death Stranding movie was in the works. Kojima Productions, the workshop that made the initial game, was readied to be just one of 2 primary manufacturers, yet there was no word on that would certainly compose, straight, or celebrity in the movie, or if any kind of participants of the initial innovative group would certainly inhabit any one of those duties. Yesterday, Death Stranding’s game supervisor Hideo Kojima took to Twitter to clarify his participation.

Here, Kojima verifies that he will certainly not be guiding the motion picture, yet followers stressed that Kojima Productions’ participation would not entail input from the male at its helm can relax simple. In enhancement to his function as manufacturer, Kojima will certainly be “deeply involved” with lots of various other aspects of the movie, including its story and also general looks. While the motion picture occurs in the existing Death Stranding globe, it will certainly “introduce new elements and characters within the Death Stranding universe,” according to Deadline. Whether that contains a retelling of an existing story or a completely brand-new one is uncertain, yet it will absolutely have that distinctive Kojima touch.
In enhancement to the movie-focused branch of Kojima Productions, the film will certainly be created by Hammerstone Studios. Founded in 2018, the workshop’s best-known movies consist of Barbarian (2022) and also Bill and also Ted Face the Music (2020). The workshop’s owner, Alex Lebovici, had the complying with to state to Deadline concerning the upcoming job:
We are delighted and also recognized to have the chance to companion with dazzling and also renowned Hideo Kojima on his very first movie adjustment. Unlike various other huge spending plan tentpole video clip game adjustments, this will certainly be something even more intimate and also based. Our objective is to redefine what a video clip game adjustment might be when you have innovative and also poetic license. This movie will certainly be a genuine “Hideo Kojima” manufacturing.
Given the reality that the manufacturing groups have yet to reveal any kind of supervisor, author or star that’s affixed to the job (I’m wishing it entails Nicolas Cage), it’s still a couple of years out. If you’re craving even more Kojima prior to after that, you can re-watch the Death Stranding 2 reveal trailer or daydream concerning the game Kojima wants to make in space.
