It has been exactly a year since it was officially announced that Kojima Productions intended to produce a film based on the acclaimed Death Stranding. Hideo Kojima’s great masterpiece will make the leap to the big screen with an adaptation that already has a distributor today, since it has chosen A24 to take care of its publication in all cinemas.
The film company is known for having distributed dozens of highly recommended films, including the award-winning Everything at once everywhere, the winner of the last edition of the Oscars for best film of the year. These are reasons that have prompted Kojima to associate with this company because he is clear that it is not like any other.
This has been stated in a statement that has been made on the occasion of this announcement, which in turn serves as a celebration of the eighth anniversary of Kojima Productions. In it he highlighted that A21 has a very innovative approach that aligns perfectly with your vision to create high quality products that have served as inspiration for their work.
A24 was born in this world about 10 years ago, its presence is unique within the industry, it is unlike any other. The films they are distributing around the world are of great quality and very innovative. I have been drawn to their creations and inspired in my own work. Its innovative approach to storytelling aligns with what Kojima Productions has been doing for the past eight years. Now we are doing a Death Stranding movie together. There are many video 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 is not only video game fans, but our film will be for everyone who loves cinema. We are creating a Death Stranding universe that has never been seen before, which can only be achieved through cinema.
From Kojima’s words, it is inevitable to have sky-high expectations by implying that we can expect a spectacular adaptation that promises to be liked by everyone equally, regardless of whether they have played the game. Death Stranding
The date of this adaptation still remains up in the air and there is no clue as to how long we will have to wait to see it in theaters. What is certain is that Kojima Productions has a lot of work ahead of it between this live-action feature film, the development of Death Stranding 2 and the recently announced OD.
