In fairness, that’s all a fairly good fit for A24, the studio behind more artsy, offbeat and eclectic fare such as Everything Everywhere All At Once, Hereditary, The Witch and The Whale, to name but a few.
“There are a lot of ‘game adaptation films’ out there but what we are creating is not just a direct translation of the game,” he said. “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.”

What we do know is that the film will share the video game’s exploration of the titular apocalyptic event which led to all the ghosts, beaches full of dead crabs and Geoff Keighley living in a random bunker somewhere.
While he’s not working on the Death Stranding movie, Kojima has plenty to keep him busy - whether it’s developing theDeath Stranding sequel, working onrecently revealed horror game OD(which, again, is chockablock with actors) or (mostly)taking Instagram pics with Hollywood stars.
