Last December 15 Kojima Productions and Hammerstone Studios announce By association that film adaptation death strand, one of the most special video games developed by Hideo Kojima to date. As expected, the film will not take the approach of a Hollywood blockbuster full of explosions and action, but rather Maintain the intimate tone of the original It can be said to fall under the category of auteur cinema, as Kojima himself reviewed in an interview with IGN.
“Early last year I was video conferencing with a lot of people in Hollywood every week, and not just for the sake of it death strandThe Japanese creator says in the interview. I received many offers. But my intention from the beginning was not to make a blockbuster. Alex Lebovici from Hammerstone Studios, shared my view on the matter.”
“There have been many proposals to make a large-scale film with famous actors and flashy explosions, but what good are explosions in? death strand? I don’t think about making money either. My goal is more art and articleAnd the only person who offered to make a movie like that was Alex Lebovici, which makes me think he’s an extraordinary guy,” Kojima explains the style of the film.
It is still being considered whether the protagonist is Sam
“We still haven’t decided if Sam is going to be the lead. The failure of game movie adaptations a while ago led to a lot of gamer-oriented movies, right? That’s why it looks like a game. I don’t want that movie death strand So instead, I’m taking an approach Changing and developing a world death strand In a way that fits the movie wellHe adds of his wishes for the amendment.
Death Stranding takes a direction no one has tried before with a movie adaptation of a game.
“I did death strand To be a game, and games are games. There is no need to convert them into movies. So, in a way, a movie death strand It takes a direction no one has tried before with a movie adaptation of a game. I think what I have to do is something that inspires some of the people who see it to be creative 10 or 20 years from now.”
