Hideo Kojima wants the Death Stranding movie to win awards at film festivals

Since cinema is a medium that works differently, it is always difficult to adapt a video game to the big screen, so if the people involved in the project want the result to be satisfactory, the Death Stranding movie will have to overcome some problems. .

In a series of videos on HideoTube, Hideo Kojima, the mind behind Death Stranding, expressed his opinion that he wants the film to be presented at various festivals and awarded, and he also indicated that there is an upcoming adaptation and a big challenge for his works. The one in front of the tape.

“It’s easy to adapt to a TV series like the last one of our kind. Adapting a 50-60 hour game like Death Stranding into a two or three hour movie is very difficult. The worldview does not change, of course. But the story of the game does not fit in the current situation for only two hours. “We are still looking at how to find a solution.”

“In the past, film adaptations of video games weren’t always successful, you know? But in the last four or five years, people who understand games have taken to film or drama adaptations. And there have been several successes. Like the Super Mario Bros. movie. And that’s the trend these days, but I want to make something based on a game at A24, but it’s independent and artistic, something that can win awards at film festivals like Cannes, Venice or Sundance.

At this time, nothing is known about the project. In fact, Kojima himself has said that the cast members have yet to be chosen, so it’s unclear whether Norman Reedus will reprise his role as Sam Porter in the film or whether he’ll choose another actor, whether or not he’s looking for a cast member. Director continues.
