Before A24's Death Stranding, watch Pig
Briefly

A24's upcoming film adaptation of Death Stranding, directed by Michael Sarnoski, promises a new narrative set in Hideo Kojima's unique universe. Following the recent surge of cinematic adaptations from video games and franchises, A24 aims to create distinctive films that deviate from typical cash grabs. The discussion around the film also highlights the impact of Sarnoski's prior work involving intense character-driven storytelling, as seen in his previous film, Pig, starring Nicolas Cage in a critically acclaimed role. The upcoming film appears to reflect this same depth and narrative complexity.
"Sarnoski always zigs where a stunt-maven would zag, letting Rob use his words - or take a tremendous beating - to make a point about what's precious in life."
"The film comes from writer-director Michael Sarnoski, who seems like a perfect fit based on the grounded yet off-kilter world of the culinary revenge thriller, Pig."
