Kojima Refused Multiple Offers For Action-Packed Death Stranding Film

Expert Verified By

Now Making More Authentic Death Stranding Film!

Story Highlight
  • Hideo Kojima confirms he was approached multiple times to bring Death Stranding to the big screen.
  • The director refused these offers since he did not want a cinematic experience that was all about explosions and action.
  • He is now working on a different type of project with A24.

Hideo Kojima’s latest series is gearing up for a grand return next year. Death Stranding 2 marks the first current-gen entry for the franchise, bringing it to life with new technology and hardware.

At the same, the series is being expanded through ports of the original game and a recently announced film adaptation. The latter is being worked on by A24, but Hideo Kojima has recently revealed that he also received offers for an adaptation in the past.

Why it matters: The director’s games have always had many film-like qualities. Therefore, the director knew exactly what he wanted for this adaptation.

Hideo Kojima A24
The Cinematic Project Currently Does Not Have A Release Date

Speaking to Famitsu, the famous game director revealed that he collaborated with A24 since his goal was never to make a big-budget blockbuster film.

Hideo Kojima wanted to head in a different direction. He confirmed that other studios wanted to make a typical action film with plenty of explosions and big moments, but this would go against the type of experience that Death Stranding is known for.

While the director did not say much about A24’s current approach, fans can expect something as unique as the game itself. It is also important to note that Hideo Kojima is not the director of this adaptation.

Instead, he will guide the producer on this film’s plot and other important details.

I want to make a slightly different kind of film with A24.

-Hideo Kojima

For the unaware, A24 is the same company behind films like Everything Everywhere All At Once and Uncut Gems. The company has already made a name for itself thanks to recent hits.

According to Hideo Kojima, A24 is unique, and nobody has taken a similar approach to cinema. This is exactly why he entrusted this company with the Death Stranding adaptation.

The adaptation currently has no release date, but it is expected to be one piece of a bigger puzzle. This first release could lead to a series of other productions as part of the larger Death Stranding cinematic universe.
