Kojima Productions has revealed an exciting collaboration with A24, the studio behind Academy Award-winning films like Everything Everywhere All At Once, to adapt Death Stranding in a live movie. The film will explore the mysteries surrounding the apocalyptic event called “Death Stranding,” which blurred the lines between life and death and brought nightmarish creatures to a world on the brink of collapse.
“About 10 years ago, A24 was born into this world, their presence is singular within the industry, they are like no other,” Kojima Productions founder Hideo Kojima said in a press release. “The films they are delivering to the world are of high quality and very innovative. I have been attracted to their creations and they have even inspired my own work. Its innovative approach to storytelling aligns with what Kojima Productions has been doing for the past 8 years. Now, we are making a Death Stranding movie together.”
Kojima emphasized that this adaptation will not simply be a direct translation of the game. The intention is that the audience is not only a fan of the games, but that the film is aimed at any film lover. They are creating a Death Stranding universe that has never been seen before, achievable only through the cinematic medium.
“There are many ‘game adaptation films’ out there, but what we are creating is not simply a direct translation of the game,” Kojima said. “The intention is that our audience is not only fans of the games, but that our film is for anyone who loves cinema. “We are creating a Death Stranding universe that has never been seen before, achievable only through the medium of film, will be born.”
