Hideo recently spoke to Brut, and we've learned (translated through Genki) that Kojima wants to do more than games: "Hideo Kojima says that after making DS2, OD and PHYSINT he will take a look at the situation of Kojima Productions and if he is able to, he will go work on a film!"



Kojima is a huge movie buff, and it's only logical he'd want to do this at least once. Would you be interested in seeing what a Hideo Kojima movie looks like instead of a new game?

He's been saying that about every game he's made since I started following him in MGS2.

I mean....Death Stranding IP it's practically a movie in disguise how you can be in denial, that's almost inevitable.

 

[LordCBH]

If physint will be his last work, then I hope it's another certified banger. Go out on top.

 

[John Bilbo]

I'm interested. Will he use live actors and actresses or will the movie be made with CGI... I don't know which he will prefer.

 

[Roberts]

If he wants to make a movie, more power to him. Nobody should stop you from having a dream like that.

It will also be terrible, but that's beside the point.

Headline from the translated article is bait.

Readers don't read the entire headline and this is gonna spread like wildfire.

He's taking time off for a movie, temporarily, and return back to games.

 

[coachmcguirk91]

I trust Kojima will be overseeing any studio project at Kojima Productions no matter what. Even if he is not directing. Video games are not movies. The talent at a studio is much more important than any singular person at the top

 

[_Ex_]

I've already seen a Kojima movie.

Spoiler

Even if it isn't it will be very similar.

 

[adamsapple]

Physint isn't coming out in the next 4,5 years easy. He's already 61.

 

[Ikutachi]

Hope it's not Spirits Within-esque.

 

[Bartski]

Kojima's a genius game designer, but take him out of that medium, and he's almost certain to get crushed by both critics and the box office

 

[Digital-Aftertaste]

Hope he finally gets to make a movie or a show after that to then make what could be the best tie in game... King Kong is still the best and its already 20 years old.

 

[Fabieter]

Physint isn't coming out in the next 4,5 years easy. He's already 61.

In Japan, the average life expectancy for men in 2023 was 81.09

I doubt Kojima is gonna retire as long as he's healthy.

 

[Buggy Loop]

Microsoft didn't pull the rug on OD?

You special Kojima

 

[Loomy]

He might get lucky and Xbox might cancel OD and he can make his film sooner.

 

[SILKYSMOOTH30FPS]

He makes interactive movies. Why would he want to make an uninteractive movie all of a sudden?

 

[Punished Miku]

I'd be interested just to see him attempt to tell a compete story in 2 hours.

 

[Nocty]

pfff, my guy is basically 21 in asian years bruh

 

[Kurimao]

Go for it. The easiest & cheapest one to make it are Horror movies. But I`d rather see him make something like from his Snatcher & Policenauts.

 

[CGNoire]

Good.

He needed to move over to film after MGSIV anyways.

 

[Badlucktroll]

i hope its some nicholas cage starring mindfuck

 

[Little Mac]

Didn't the guy behind Bioshock (Ken Levine) try to do the same thing? Same with Druckman?

 

[Donald mac Ronald]

Maybe it's the reality check he needs. To bring him and his farts back down to earth.

 

[lh032]

i dont believe this, because i dont think physint is going to end in 1 game.

 

[gpn]

I thought PhysInt was going to be a combo game and movie project.

"Overseeing" a project doesn't mean anything. It won't ever be the same. His creative directions will no longer exist. it's how supervision works.

I am sure he will be offering input every step of the way. From a story and cutscene perspective, it will probably be weaker. I think when it comes to gameplay and technical abilities, it will 100% be fine

 

[Liopleurodon]

I think Kojima had enough contact with Hollywood people to know that he will never actually be a part of it, or at least that he will never really direct any movie worth attention.
He must be already aware that he isn't another Akira Kurosawa.

I saw people saying that Geoff is his biggest fanboy, and maybe he is, but in reality, I have a feeling that deep down, it is Kojima himself who is the most grateful for their friendship, and that these days only at his (Geoff's) shows he is getting the attention, and recognition he thinks he deserves.

It has nothing to do with it being "fine". It has to do with it not being his direction and writing.

But what ever you say.

 

[Northeastmonk]

I remember when he was celebrating his 50th. He looks good for his age.

[Arachnid]

Kojima moving on from the industry would legit be a pretty big loss for gamers. I know I'd hate it.

 

[Ikutachi]

He should ask Yu Suzuki if he wants a Shenmue movie.

 

[Connificent]

 

[Sintoid]

Yeah, Hideo, you're trying to make a brand new stealth espionage game and I BELIEVE YOU it will be the only one cause you're getting a stop... sure...
