Hideo Kojima taking an 'arthouse approach' with Death Standing movie
Speaking to, Kojima said he partnered with Barbarian executive producer Alex Lebovici in a bid to avoid making a"blockbuster" film.
"I received a lot of offers, but my intention from the start was never to make a blockbuster film. Alex Lebovici from Hammerstone Studios shared my vision with regards to that. There were a lot of pitches to make a large-scale movie with famous actors and flashy explosions, but what good would explosions be in Death Stranding?
Kojima said he has yet to decide whether characters from the game such as Sam will make it into the film, stressing he wants to steer clear of the mistakes other video game adaptations have made. "That's why they have the same kind of look as a game. I don't want the Death Stranding movie to be like that. Rather, I'm taking the approach of changing and evolving the world of Death Stranding in a way that suits film well.
