Kojima Productions US and Allan Ungar will serve as executive producers. Ungar has previously worked in video game adaptation, as he directed a short film based on Unchartedstarring Nathan Fillion as Nathan Drake.
It will therefore be a film in live action, which will not be directed by Hideo Kojima, himself. He promises, however, that he will be heavily involved in the production, supervision, narration, aesthetics, design and content of the adaptation.
Death Strandingreleased in 2019, saw Norman Reedus play as Sam Porter Bridges, a courier tasked with delivering supplies to isolated colonies across a post-apocalyptic Earth. The game also starred Mads Mikkelsen, Léa Seydoux, Margaret Qualley and Troy Baker!
A priori, they will not be in the casting of the film, since this film version of Death Stranding would move away from the game’s story and instead follow new characters in this post-apo world. On the other hand, we will find Norman Reedus as Sam Porter Bridges in the game Death Stranding 2 in development.
