Death Stranding is one of the most popular contemporary games that don’t belong to a big IP. The game was developed by Kojima Productions and Guerrilla Games. Sony Interactive Entertainment published it for PlayStation 4. After a long development period, the game finally released in 2019 and the rest is history. The overwhelming success of the game led to a sequel’s development. The game is set in the United States following a cataclysmic event which caused destructive creatures to begin roaming the Earth. Players control Sam Porter Bridges (Norman Reedus), a courier tasked with delivering supplies to isolated colonies and reconnecting them via a wireless communications network. Considering the popularity of the game and the amazing premise, it looks like a studio is looking to adapt the game. Which? Let’s find out.
Death Stranding Video Game Is Getting A Live Action Movie Adaptation!
Hideo Kojima is one of the most respected video-game designers of all time. Kojima is known for his layered storytelling and innovative concepts that might seem alien but are grounded in reality than one might imagine. After the outstanding success of Death Stranding, it has now been revealed that Kojima is interested in adapting the game’s storyline for a live-action film in collaboration with A24. Culture Crave first broke the news on their official X (previously known as Twitter) handle.
If history is any indication then this update is legit. Culture Crave’s sources are often accurate. After I heard this news, the first thought to pop in my mind was the casting. Death Stranding has a fantastic cast of voice actors, so, are they returning for the movie? Well, hear is everything we know so far. The game’s cast features an A-List actors including Norman Reedus, Mads Mikkelsen, Léa Seydoux, Guillermo del Toro, and Margaret Qualley. All of these people are fantastic actors on screen, I don’t see any reason for them not to return in the film.
However, there is no official update whether the original cast will reprise their roles or not. If that happens then the internet will go crazy and Death Stranding will be one of the hyped films ever because the gaming world will go bonkers.
The Death Stranding live action movie doesn’t have a release date at the time of writing.
