Death Stranding movie announced by Kojima Productions and A24
Acclaimed video game Death Stranding will get a live-action movie adaptation.
Announced today, Kojima Productions is teaming up with A24 for the film. To celebrate the announcement, a special Death Stranding x A24 T-shirt has been released here.
Hideo Kojima said this about the forthcoming film:
“A24 was born into this world about 10 years ago, their presence is singular within the industry, they are like no other. The films they are delivering to the world are high in quality and very innovative. I have been attracted to their creations and they have even inspired my own work. Their innovative approach to storytelling aligns with what Kojima Productions has been doing for the last 8 years. Now, we are making a Death Stranding movie together. There are a lot of “game adaptation films" out there but what we are creating is not just a direct translation of the game. The intention is that our audience will not only be fans of the games, but our film will be 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, it will be born.”
Released in 2019, Death Stranding won for Best Game Direction, Best Score/Music, and Best Performance (Mads Mikkelsen) at The Game Awards. A sequel is currently in development for the PlayStation 5.
