Hideo Kojima fans are eating well with the visionary game designer busy working on Death Stranding 2 with Norman Reedus, Lea Seydoux, and Troy Baker returning. Fans of the video game franchise are also getting a live-action Death Stranding film adaptation and a Kojima Productions documentary.

Today, movie studio A24 and video game studio Kojima Productions have announced that they will be teaming up to bring the world of Sam Porter Bridges to life. The independent movie studio’s credits include the Oscar-winning film, Everything Everywhere All At Once,

A new art has been released with the A24 logo getting the Death Stranding treatment with the letters dripping.

In a couple of days, December 16th will mark the 8th anniversary of Kojima Productions, and there’s a lot of celebration to be had. A24 and Kojima Productions are promising to deliver the mysteries of the apocalyptic event known as the “Death Stranding,” With an already impressive cast in the video game, will moviegoers get to see Reedus, Seydoux, and Baker reprise their roles in the live-action adaptation? Let’s hope so!

Hideo Kojima said: “A24 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. Their innovative approach to storytelling aligns with what Kojima Productions has been doing for the last 8 years. Now, we are making a Death Stranding movie together. There 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 universe that has never been seen before, achievable only through the medium of film, it will be born.”

Kojima has been super busy since he announced during The Game Awards 2023 that Kojima Productions and filmmakers like Jordan Peele are working on another game, OD, which will bridge the gap even more between cinema and video games.
