Love most of A24's productions. If they get the right people together for this, it could be amazing.

Would you rather it be Sony Pictures? I'm sure they could use more theater fodder after Madame Webb releases.The most pretentious videogame creator partners with the most pretentious Hollywood studio. I can imagine how fun these movies will be …

This will be a movie?
I think something like 6-10 episodes as a limited series would serve the story a lot better.

If it's paced like The Green Knight it can work.
Honestly they should just film DS around the same location.

Came for the negative comments about Kojima and A24 and sure enough, i leave satisfied...
Listen, opinions are opinions but i just can't trust nor take seriously people using the words "boring" and "pretentious" from the moment they enjoy going to the theater/cinema to watch Disney's latest CGI cartoon.
In the end, What's "boring" ? What is considered to be "pretentious" ? In this specific case, it translates to " i don't like something therefore it's shit" - the equivalent of a shitpost really.
A24 may have some duds (Midsommar etc) but Goddamn if it isn't one of the few companies that produces - at the very least - some fresh and interesting looking movies :
- The Witch
- The lighthouse
- The Northman
- Uncut Gems
- Mid 90's
- It comes at night
- Spring breakers
- Under the skin
- Locke
- The Rover
- tusk
- EX machina
- The Lobster
- Good time
- The killing of a sacred deer
- The green knight
...and the freshest horror movie of the past few years "talk to me"
To call A24 pretentious is literally a shit-take, in fact it's one of the very few companies that make...actual fookin' movies in today's shitty, diarrhea ridden sea of Marvel, DC, Star Wars and remake tripe.
Also, their track record is actually amazing since they have more good movies than bad ones.
If you're a film goer or just a normal person that actually enjoys movies (not talking about having something playing in the background on Netflix while you're doing something else) it'd be actually impossible not to find a single movie to enjoy from their catalogue and just call them "pretentious" and "boring" - it'd be like saying that since you didn't enjoy Scorsese's latest 2 movies The Irish man and killers of the flower moon due to their running time it means that Scorsese is boring, pretentious and/or even shit, i mean...
As for Kojima being a "hack" or "pretentious", well, the same pretty much applies here.
People bitch about yearly COD iterations, remakes, GaaS titles, "AAA" soulless copy-pasta MTX riddled games and yet, when an actual fresh idea like Death Stranding (both story and gameplay wise) releases , what do they do ? they keep bitching.
You just can't win in today's ADD world, everything has to be immediately gratifying, everything has to be "fast", everything has to be spoon-fed as to be immediately gratifying, meanwhile, if you don't do that, you're immediately labeled with the epithet "boring" or "pretentious".
It'd be actually funny if it wasn't for the fact that it's actually pathetic.
The bar has gotten so friggin' low that there's no capacity whatsoever for real and proper conversations.

Unfortunately, that is the world we live in. The mainstream will keep pushing mind numbing shit mostly. The reasons behind that are complex, some of them are obvious and some of them are guided, others just happen cause of human nature. Just be glad that there are still people who keep pushing in different directions. Let the people bitch and moan and scream... Of course they bitch about 'the usual stuff' and then they bitch about stuff that's outside of the box. A lot of people get triggered by little things yet they are not aware enough and don't observe themselves to find out why or what that is...to grow and evolve.
And of course these people would read my paragraph and say about me that I'm pretentious or arrogant or whatever... Again: fuck 'em. Enjoy Kojima, enjoy Murray, enjoy Ueda (and their respective teams of course) and all the others who keep giving us new emotions, new experiences, new ways or avenues to think and feel...

thats the thing. I loved playing it, I dont think it would work as a movie, or it might. I hope they can pull it off.

I don't think we can assume that the story will follow the games. A general concept of the world, for sure. Maybe something integrated from DS2.

I've stated this before but there really needs to be an A24 for the video game industry. Someone who can help fund indie studios with bold and/or different ideas, to deliver near-AAA quality work on a consistent basis.
It would also solve the 'we want new AAA IP' complaints.

Tag, you're it.
A24, the studio behind Academy Award winning films such as Everything Everywhere All At Once has announced a collaboration with KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS to adapt Hideo Kojima’s acclaimed video game, DEATH STRANDING, into a live-action feature film.
Hideo Kojima said: “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.”
Hailed as the architect of the stealth genre and a pioneer in interactive storytelling, Hideo Kojima continually shifts the boundaries between film and game. Widely considered the father of the stealth genre, he is also credited with innovating both story-telling and cinematic presentation in video games at large. In 2020, Hideo Kojima received the BAFTA Fellowship, the highest accolade bestowed by BAFTA upon an individual in recognition of exceptional contribution to film, games or television.

That's true, but I wasn't aware of it and thought I'd share. It's a great news for any fan of the game (which I'm not really to be honest but I'm curious to see the movie).

I saw that vinyl records have surpassed CD’s in sales. And the music industry has surpassed the movies.
I don’t think I can stay awake through a Death Stranding movie.

Mehh.. I miss Kojima doing Metal gear... What I wouldn't give for a good stealth shooter right about now. They are all gone. No Mgs, no splinter cell. No theif, no dishonored, nothing.
Kojima I guess would rather make movies. Him and death stranding was his worst property and boring, imo.

The premise and world of Death Stranding is actually very intriguing. It is the dialogue that is absolute shit though. I'm not sure if its an English translation issue or not, but A24 will give this movie the best chance it has got to be successful

Kojima is not dumb... Now he is getting involved with Hollywood.
Great for kojima

I can’t wait. I will pay full price and buy the limited edition popcorn bucket if this movie includes the “Princess Beach” line. Bonus points for any of the real actors they can get to play their character from the game. Also a cameo from Conan to really scramble critics brains.

If this game sucks or is just some Hollywood face scan circle jerk instead of a designed MC (even if it's just inspired by an actor) I'm going to commit the very big sad face.
I say that as someone who likes Norman Reedus and liked Death Stranding.

CD needs to be replaced with something newer. UMP, or a smaller Blu-ray disc, something new that does the exact same thing as a CD.

CARS. Cars need CDs or their modern replacement. Phones are no good for selecting tracks.
Here's the TV spot for Sony's new optical disc - dBag guy driving in Lamborghini approaching a group of attractive girls at the bus stop, no music playing.
He needs music - panicking he's flipping through his library of MP3s in his massive iPhone tethered to the dash. Wrong song comes on, Barry Manilow or something lame.
Other guy in junker approaches and puts UMD into the dash cooly. Billy Ocean Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car or something cool plays.

Why do so many video game developers become video game developers if all they want to do is make movies and TV shows?
