Hideo Kojima, director of the film Death Stranding, says: “There is no real need” to turn the game into a movie



dead aground director Hideo Kojima has stated his upcoming Death Stranding film “goes in a direction no one has tried before with a game adaptation”, arguing that other attempts to remove the film from the game have failed. fail because they “serve gamers”. He will be different, he said, because he “takes an approach to changing and evolving the world of Death Stranding in a way that suits the movie”.

He also said that there was “no real need” to turn the game into a movie, which is a genuine and enjoyable admission from someone who is doing it.

This came from Kojima recently Extensive interview with IGNand it is worth citing the excerpts above in full.

“The recent failure of game adaptations has resulted in a lot of movies that cater to gamers, right? That’s why they’re kind of like a game. I I don’t want the Death Stranding movie to be like that. Instead, I’m taking an approach to changing and evolving the world of Death Stranding in a way that suits the movie. I’ve turned Death Stranding into a game. And games are games. There’s no real need to make them games. So in a way, the Death Stranding movie is going in a direction that nobody’s tried before with a movie adaptation. from the game.”

He also mentioned that they “haven’t decided yet” whether it will include in-game characters, so yes, they’ll probably go for a fair ride.

To be fair, if you’re *going* to make a movie out of a video game, this seems like the right approach. The World of Death Stranding is strange and interesting and a part of me wanted to see more of it, especially if Kojima had less of a hand in the movie’s dialogue and the whole thing was over in under two hours. The other part of me knows that won’t come true.

Kojima also said that he and producer Alex Lebovici, who produced That 2020 Bill and Ted moviemore interested in making a historical drama than a Hollywood blockbuster.

“I’ve been on video calls with a lot of people in Hollywood every week since last year, and not just because of Death Stranding. I’ve received a lot of invitations, but my intention from the beginning was never to be. now make a blockbuster.” Alex Lebovici from Hammerstone Studios shared my vision in that regard. There are many offers to make a large-scale movie with famous actors and flashy fire scenes, but what good are explosions in Death Stranding? Making money is not something I focus on anyway. I’m aiming for a more artistic approach, and the only person who suggested making a movie like that was Alex Lebovici, which makes me think he’s a rather unusual type of person.”

The interview covers more than just the movie, and explains why Kojima “completely rewrote” Death Stranding 2 after the pandemic. There are a lot of other things I haven’t mentioned yet, so have a read for yourself.

Death Stranding 2 is coming out at some point in the future, hopefully before the next pandemic means Kojima has to rewrite everything anew.
