Director Michael Sarnoski (Pig, A Quiet Place: Day One) told Variety that he recently turned in a second draft of the script with the hope of shooting the film next year in Iceland and Northern Ireland. It seems like it will be his next project, as he told Variety he has plans for a low-budget personal project once he wraps up Death Stranding. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Not much is known about the Death Stranding film, but it is expected to be an original story set in the universe created by Hideo Kojima. With that said, Sarnoski did tease that there are &#8220;overlapping characters&#8221; from the games that will excite fans.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">&#8220;I want it to feel big, but also offbeat and character driven,&#8221; Sarnoski says. &#8220;This takes place in the world of the video game, but I have my own set of characters. There are some like overlapping characters that fans will be excited to see, but it\u2019s very much my own story within this universe.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-slideshow\"><button type=\"button\" style=\"display:none\" class=\"jsx-2228525885\"\/><span data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-preview\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 slideshow-preview\">\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-1085005187\" data-cy=\"slideshow-preview-title\">Death Stranding 2: Review Screenshots<\/h3>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-images-container\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" data-cy=\"hero-image\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 hero-image\"><img alt=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\" decoding=\"async\" role=\"presentation\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-2896921488 image aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-16-9 jsx-2605834259 jsx-2338608387 hover-opacity\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><span class=\"button-text jsx-729543028 button button--primary jsx-3381835873 jsx-4266531355 row-pagination-button next contained centered round large\" data-cy=\"paginate next\" title=\"Open Slideshow\"><span class=\"ign-icon right-chevron jsx-2750866048 jsx-2919720488\" role=\"presentation\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-cy=\"right-chevron\" style=\"mask:url(https:\/\/kraken.ignimgs.com\/_next\/static\/media\/RightChevron.272be43c.svg?cors=1) no-repeat center center \/ contain;background:currentColor\"\/><\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/output><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">It&#8217;s unclear when the Death Stranding movie will be set in relation to the games, or what characters might appear. Hideo Kojima already utilized a star-studded cast of familar film actors across both Death Stranding games, meaning it wouldn&#8217;t be a stretch for Sarnoski to take advantage of them in his adaptation. Norman Reedus has already stated he would be down to reprise his role as Sam Porter Bridges in the film, but perhaps we&#8217;ll see other faces like Lea Seydoux&#8217;s Fragile, or Troy Baker&#8217;s Higgs.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">A24 will produce the film in partnership with Ari Aster and his producing partner, Lars Knudsen. Kojima is also heavily involved with the film&#8217;s production. Kojima has stated he has ideas for a third Death Stranding game, but has no plans to make it himself. In the meantime, it seems like the universe will be fleshed out in other media, as an animated TV series and anime film are also in the works. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">In the meantime, Kojima is working on two other games: OD and Physint. The former is an episodic horror game, focusing on different kinds of fears. It&#8217;s currently unclear when it will be released, but it seems to be a higher priority now that Death Stranding 2 is out the door. Physint is Kojima&#8217;s return to the world of tactical espionage action and is expected to be a PlayStation 6 game.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Sarnoski&#8217;s latest film, The Death of Robin Hood, is out this week. IGN&#8217;s review noted this &#8220;brutal period piece [is] his most niche and least accessible film yet&#8221; but found its &#8220;heady mix of mournful drama and murderous action certainly distinguish it from the litany of other Robin Hood films in existence.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>Cade Onder is a freelancer for IGN&#8217;s news team.
