Death Stranding Movie Announced

Interesting news here. Hot on the heels of announcing DEATH STRANDING 2 (Working Title) at The Game Awards, gaming auteur Hideo Kojima’s KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS has partnered with Barbarian executive producer Alex Lebovici’s Hammerstone Studios to develop and produce an adaptation of the critical and commercial hit videogame franchise “DEATH STRANDING.”

Definitely would see it, it has a strong message for humanity but sadly not to many understands it, and this is some of the reasons lots of people at same time thinks Death Stranding is just a walking simulator they just dont see the big pucture here. I hope the movie delivers the strong story the game has.

[Garethvk]

I think the risk of it being overexposed is there.

[GamerRN]

If this doesn't star Norman Reedus I'm out

[SullysCigar]

"I hope the movie delivers" - I respect your punnage!

Joking aside, the visual imagery of Death Stranding is so striking, it would certainly get noticed. They might need to signpost the messages a bit more in order to connect with mainstream viewers though.

It's not that people don't see the big picture, they just don't enjoy the game or think it's fun to play.

[Orchard]

It’s nothing to do with misunderstanding the big picture or story. Those are fine, as expected for a Kojima game, but the gameplay doesn’t really back it up.

It’s Kojimas weakest 3D game for sure, by a mile.

[-Foxtrot]

I love the disagrees because it means people think games like Meta Gear Solid or Zone of the Enders are his weakest ones instead.

Face it, Death Stranding, whether you love it or not IS his weakest game.

It's either that or Metal Gear Solid V

[S2Killinit]

Let me guess, its not on xbox?

[Orchard]

@S2 it’s in Xbox GamePass for PC. Not sure if you can stream that to console or not.

But being on another platform doesn’t make this game any less of a chore. It can come to 20 platforms - it’ll still have the same issues.

Hard to say it’s anything but his weakest modern entry.

[MadLad]

I'll see the movie.
I think the narrative, itself, is interesting.

I thought the game was drawn out and monotonous though.

[Vx_]

To be realistic, no gamer play a video game for “the message” .. no one cares.

[Software_Lover]

Wall-E also had a strong message for humanity. I wish people would listen.

[Terry_B]

I guess the film adaption of Death Stranding is simply 2 hours of gameplay

[-Foxtrot]

It'll be the games cinematic without the gameplay at this rate

[GoodGuy09]

Ofc lol

[Snookies12]

Written and Directed by, Hideo Kojima. Produced by, Hideo Kojima. In association with, Hideo Kojima. Starring, Hideo Kojima.

Lol, all jokes aside. I think this will lend itself very well to a movie. If done right.

[Orchard]

But who will play Norman Reedus? :p

[shinoff2183]

Good question. I don't think there's anyone out there good enough

[sinspirit]

Sam Bridges has an uncanny resemblance

[CrimsonWing69]

Oscar Isaac probably.

[-Foxtrot]

Dwayne Johnson

[franwex]

Keifer Sutherland

[Yui_Suzumiya]

David Hayter

[VenomUK]

Christopher Judge.

[jznrpg]

I’ll watch it .

[XxINFERNUSxX]

So a lot of walking will be involved. 😆

[mike32UK]

Walking, E-Bikes, E-Trucks, point to point laser ziplines - you didn't get very far in the game, did you?

[SegaSaturn669]

Norman Reedus will be played by Dustin Hoffman

[GamingSinceForever]

Barbarian was terrible so hopefully the producer does a better job here.

The game already had to notch actors so it will be interesting to see the casting for the movie.

[Thundercat77]

Sponsored by UPS.

[SenorFartCushion]

The tech has come too far for the novelty of adaption to be there still.

Death Standing is a 60 hour cgi movie.

[MADGameR]

I think a movie would be great, but I'm not a fan of the games tbh.

[cluclap]

Should've been a movie in the first place

[mastershredder]

Why? The game was not dawn out enough?

[babadivad]

Isn't that what the game was?

[TheEnigma313]

I think the game does a great job of telling the story, but if they can pull it off, go ahead.

[I_am_Batman]

I'm personally not a big fan of this current trend of game to movie/serial adaptations. Death Stranding was a prime example of gameplay enhancing the overarching themes of the story and I don't think it would've worked for me as a movie. I'm sure Kojima understands the strengths of each medium and will adapt his plan accordingly, but I guess I just don't see the point when games can already do everything movies can and much more on top of it.

[Silver_ShadoWolf]

Death Stranding IS a movie. Fym

[S2Killinit]

Mads?

[anast]

I'm ready.

[Vithar]

FedEx the movie !

[TheEroica]

I wonder if the movie will be longer than the first cut scene!

[Deathdeliverer]

If Norman Reedus doesn’t play Sam Bridges I give up on movie-game adaptations. It’s a once in a lifetime chance to have the game character/voice actor to be an actual actor. Hopefully it’s not a movie in the death stranding “world” and we are seeing some unknown…. Although…. Having an unknown doing things in the world and witnessing the USA becoming more connected and hearing rumors of a single man “allegedly” on a suicide mission to unify the country. So while this person has their own adventure you see the effects of Sam at the same time. Who played death stranding and just wants to see a sliced down version of scenes they already played… but with live actors?
Either way, I would support. Sounds cool. Just don’t have Sam bridges played by anyone else and I’m cool.

[Demetrius]

Is the 1st death stranding really a chore like a lot of folks say lol

[LucidIllusion]

No Norman no watch
