Hideo Kojima Won’t Direct The Death Stranding Movie, But He Is “Deeply Involved”

The month of December was a very busy one for the entire year. DeadlineIt was reported by a number of sources that a Death Stranding feature film is in production. Kojima Productions was to produce the movie, and it was reported that the game’s original creators would be involved. However, there were no details on the writer, director, or actor. Death Stranding game director announced yesterday that he would be joining the film as one of two main producers. However, there was no word on who will write, direct or star in the movie. Hideo Kojima took to TwitterTo clarify his involvement

Here, Kojima confirms that he will not be directing the movie, but fans worried that Kojima Productions’ involvement wouldn’t involve input from the man at its helm can rest easy. Kojima, in addition to being the producer of this film, will also be deeply involved with its story and aesthetics. The movie will be set in Death Stranding, but it’ll “introduce characters and new elements within Death Stranding Universe,” says Deadline. Uncertain if it is a retelling or new plot, but the Kojima style will definitely be there.

Hammerstone Studios will produce the movie in addition to Kojima Productions’ film-focused division. The most well-known movies of the 2018 studio include Barbarian 2022 and Bill and Ted Face the Music 2020. Alex Lebovici was the founder of the studio. Deadline The upcoming project is:

It is an honor and a privilege to be able to work with the brilliant, iconic Hideo Kojima to create his first movie adaptation. This will be a much more intimate, grounded adaptation than other tentpole big budget video game films. We want to reinvent what video game adaptations can be, when given creative and artistic liberty. This film will be an authentic “Hideo Kojima” production.

Given the fact that the production teams have yet to announce any director, writer or actor that’s attached to the project (I’m hoping it involves Nicolas CageIt’s a couple of years away. You can watch the Death Stranding 2 trailer again or imagine the game if you want to. Kojima wants to make in space.
