A24 Announces Film Adaptation of Hideo Kojima’s Death Stranding

As a somewhat uncomfortable teen that had actually pass time in course documenting a full chronology of the Steel Equipment story, Hideo Kojima’s ascendance to full-on mainstream continuously recommends an alternative, much better popular culture. Not the very least of all when 2019’s Death Stranding was a strangely designed work of art—- not precisely non-narrative, yet the 33 hours I required to defeat it provided possibly comparable to one attribute’s tale. While waiting for even more word on the 2nd video game, this odd world has actually started expanding.

A24 and Kojima Productions have actually revealed they’ll be partnering on a film adaptation with one-of-a-kind objectives: one that will certainly “delve into the mysteries surrounding the apocalyptic event called the ‘Death Stranding,’ which blurred the lines between life and death, and brought forth nightmarish creatures into a world on the brink of collapse.” Kojima, for his very own component, explains the intent to produce a “Death Stranding universe that has never been seen before, achievable only through the medium of film.”

Your hunch is like mine, though bench is established fairly high when improving a video game in which Léa Seydoux provides the best motion-capture efficiency I have actually ever before seen, or one that wrung psychological weight from an hour-or-so of bring Margaret Qualley’s subconscious body throughout miles of barren surface. Concern assume of it: this would certainly be an excellent go back to narrative filmmaking for Nicolas Winding Refn, Death Stranding‘s own Heartman. (Or allow Bertrand Bonello a nice, thematically apt follow-up to The Beast.) But I’ m prospering of myself and ought to book expectancy—- most likely we’re years out.
