Kojima Productions, the studio that made the unique recreation, was set to be one in every of two major producers, however there was no phrase on who would write, direct, or star within the movie, or if any members of the unique inventive workforce would occupy any of these roles. Yesterday, Dying Stranding’s recreation director <a href=”https://twitter.com/HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN/standing/1670389119208370176?ref_src=twsrcpercent5Etfwpercent7Ctwcamppercent5Etweetembedpercent7Ctwtermpercent5E1670389119208370176percent7Ctwgrpercent5E9f8279c621c60495fce94e4ee729dbd17524d3b8percent7Ctwconpercent5Es1_&ref_url=httpspercent3Apercent2Fpercent2Fwww.ign.compercent2Farticlespercent2Fkojima-is-deeply-involved-in-the-death-stranding-movie”>Hideo Kojima took to Twitter</a> to make clear his involvement.

Right here, Kojima confirms that he won’t be directing the film, however followers nervous that Kojima Productions’ involvement wouldn’t contain enter from the person at its helm can relaxation simple. Along with his function as producer, Kojima might be “deeply concerned” with many different components of the movie, together with its plot and general aesthetics. Whereas the film takes place within the present Dying Stranding world, it would “introduce new components and characters throughout the Dying Stranding universe,” in response to Deadline. Whether or not that consists of a retelling of an present plot or a completely new one is unclear, however it would actually have that distinct Kojima contact.
Along with the film-focused department of Kojima Productions, the movie might be produced by Hammerstone Studios. Based in 2018, the studio’s best-known movies embody Barbarian (2022) and Invoice and Ted Face the Music (2020). The studio’s founder, Alex Lebovici, had the next to say to Deadline concerning the upcoming challenge:
We’re thrilled and honored to have the chance to associate with good and iconic Hideo Kojima on his first movie adaptation. Not like different huge finances tentpole online game diversifications, this might be one thing much more intimate and grounded. Our purpose is to redefine what a online game adaptation might be when you’ve got inventive and creative freedom. This movie might be an genuine “Hideo Kojima” manufacturing.
Given the truth that the manufacturing groups have but to announce any director, author or actor that’s hooked up to the challenge (I’m hoping it entails Nicolas Cage), it’s nonetheless a number of years out. For those who’re dying for extra Kojima earlier than then, you may re-watch the Dying Stranding 2 reveal trailer or fantasize concerning the recreation Kojima needs to make in area.
