Death Stranding Movie Is A “Two-Hour Art Movie,” Kojima Says, Admitting It Might Not Work

The Death Stranding movie is in the works at A24, which just reached an AI-training deal with Google, and is also behind the Elden Ring film from director Alex Garland.

Sarnoski, who earned acclaim for directing the movie Pig starring Nicolas Cage and later made A Quiet Place: Day One, told The Hollywood Reporter that Death Stranding is his next project. Sarnoski, who is also writing the script, said he’s still working on the script, but he’s confirmed it’s the next movie he’ll direct “for sure.”

Sarnoski’s latest project was The Death of Robin Hood, which stars Hugh Jackman as Robin Hood and released on June 19.

The Death Stranding movie doesn’t have a cast, release date, or any other concrete information yet. However, Sarnoski previously talked about how the film will feature characters not seen in the game, but with the overall aim of “keeping it honest to the game.”

Kojima himself was approached to direct the Death Stranding movie, but he declined. Kojima won’t be “involved too much” because if he were, he said he would “start saying a lot of things.”

Kojima is also working on a new game for Xbox called OD, and a new screenshot was shared in the Entertainment Weekly story linked above.
