Hideo Kojima’s film aspirations have been clear over the years, and it looks like they’re finally taking shape with the Death Stranding movie currently in development. Kojima is teaming up with Hammerstone Studios and producer Alex Lebovici to create a film adaptation of the gritty open-world game that will tell a story with “new elements and characters in the Death Stranding universe.”
“I am very excited about this new partnership with Hammerstone Studios,” Kojima said in a statement. “This is a turning point for the franchise and I’m looking forward to working with them to bring Death Stranding to the big screen.”
Hammerstone is financing the film, which the company says is “growing as development continues” with Kojima and Lebowici on development and production.
“Unlike other big-budget video game adaptations, this will be something much more personal and down-to-earth,” says Lebovici. “Our goal is to redefine what a video game adaptation can be when you have creative and artistic freedom. This movie will be an authentic work of Hideo Kojima.
With the announcement of Death Stranding 2 for PlayStation 5 at this year’s Game Awards, it looks like it’s going to be another busy year for the creator of Metal Gear Solid.
