"Death Stranding" Film Adaptation in Works

Kojima Productions has partnered with Hammerstone Studios to develop and produce a film adaptation of the hit video game, "Death Stranding".

The film is fully financed by Hammerstone and will be produced by Kojima and Lebovici via their respective banners, with Kojima Productions US and Allan Ungar serving as exec producers.

The game connects with more than 10 million worldwide since its 2019 launch on PlayStation 4.

"Death Stranding" features an all-star cast including Norman Reedus, Mads Mikkelsen, Léa Seydoux, Guillermo del Toro, and Margaret Qualley.

The game challenges players to reconnect with a fractured society after the cataclysmic ‘Death Stranding’ event, which has opened a doorway between the living and the dead, leading to creatures from the afterlife roaming the fallen world marred by a desolate society.

Carrying the disconnected remnants of humanity’s future in his hands, players embody Reedus’ Sam Bridges as he embarks on a mission to deliver hope to humanity by connecting the last survivors of a decimated America.

The plot for the project, marking Kojima Productions’ first-ever film  adaptation, is being kept under wraps.

The project arrives hot on the heels of announcing Death Stranding 2 (w/t) at The Game Awards.
