Hideo Kojima, renowned video game designer, is set to broaden the Death Stranding universe beyond gaming with an upcoming film and anime adaptation. Kojima aims to channel his creativity through various media, expressing a desire to explore the expressive potential of cinema rather than merely adapting the original game's plot. He references successful adaptations like The Last of Us and acknowledges their merits but highlights his ambition for the Death Stranding adaptations to attain cinematic prestige, aspiring for accolades at prominent film festivals such as Cannes and Venice.
When it comes to film adaptations of games, there have been recent [shows] like The Last of Us that keep the plot of the original intact, and films like The Super Mario Bros. Movie that are more like a service to game fans. Each of these works has its own merits, but as a film lover, I want to pursue the expressive potential of cinema.
I am aiming to make Death Stranding in a way that can only be done as a film, and that will win awards at the Cannes Film Festival and the Venice Film Festival.
