Death Stranding is coming to the big screen. A24 has announced that they are partnering with the iconic Hideo Kojima to bring his game to theaters. "A24 was born into this world about 10 years ago, their presence is singular within the industry, they are like no other. The films they are delivering to the world are high in quality and very innovative. I have been attracted to their creations and they have even inspired my own work. Their innovative approach to storytelling aligns with what Kojima Productions has been doing for the last 8 years. Now, we are making a Death Stranding movie together. There are a lot of "game adaptation films" out there but what we are creating is not just a direct translation of the game. The intention is that our audience will not only be fans of the games, but our film will be for anyone who loves cinema. We are creating a Death Stranding universe that has never been seen before, achievable only through the medium of film, it will be born." said Kojima in a statement.

Death Stranding Will Be An Interesting Adaptation

A24 just keeps adding to an impressive production schedule for the next couple of years, as they have slowly become one of the most powerful studios in Hollywood. They also recently announced an Elon Musk biopic and are coming off a bunch of Oscar wins these last few years, which include a Best Picture win for Everything Everywhere All At Once earlier this year. As for this year's race, they have a plethora of films in the hunt for more Oscars. They include Sofia Coppola's Priscilla, wrestling biopic The Iron Claw about the Von Erich family, and Past Lives, thought to be a frontrunner in most categories earlier in 2023.

That is not to mention other solid hits this year, like the horror film Talk To Me and Ari Aster's latest film Beau Is Afraid. They are the most interesting studio in the game right now, and you cannot convince me otherwise. Other films we may see in 2024 include Ti West's third film in his horror trilogy Maxxxine, Alex Garland's fourth film Civil WarPaul Rudd/Jenna Ortega's comedy Death Of A Unicorn, and so many more. Now, they are getting into business with Hideo Kojima, and Death Stranding could be a huge film for them. Way more on this as we learn it.
