A24 will be working with Kojima Productions in making a live-action adaptation of “Death Stranding<\/strong>,” the popular video game originally created by Hideo Kojima<\/a>. This will be the first live-action feature from Kojima Productions.

“The Death Stranding”<\/em> game had been launched on PlayStation 4 in 2019. It featured an all-star cast that included Guillermo del Toro<\/a>, Mads Mikkelsen<\/a>, Margaret Qualley<\/a>, Norman Reedus<\/a>, and L\u00e9a Seydoux<\/a>. In the game\u2019s apocalyptic scenario, players assume the role of Sam Porter, a character who offers hope and connectedness in a world beset by cataclysm and chaos.

In announcing the upcoming film project, Kojima released a statement in which he praised A24 for its innovation. He said in part: \u201cA24 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.\u201d

Kojima added that \u201cThere 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<\/em> universe that has never been seen before, achievable only through the medium of film, it will be born.\u201d

Hideo Kojima is considered the founder of the stealth game genre, having launched his Kojima Productions studio in 2015. After the game was launched on the PC, the Death Stranding Director\u2019s Cut<\/em> debuted in September of 2021. This move expanded the options for gamers, allowing them to stay connected with others around the world via its Social Strand System. Kojima is also working on developing the game for PlayStation 5, as well as a new horror game titled OD, working with writer-director Jordan Peele.
