Hideo Kojima: "When I had just started my own studio and had nothing, I pitched the DS project to Norman at a sushi restaurant and asked him if he would like to do it with me. He instantly said yes even though I didn't even have a script"​

 

[Hudo]

So... can Kojima actually speak English or what?

 

[Muffdraul]

"Well, first I hired him for Silent Hills. Then that got shit canned when Konami fucked me so I hired him for my next game."

 

[Kurotri]

So... can Kojima actually speak English or what?

Yes.

Hasn't really been in any anything notable outside walking dead, other than boondocks saints.

So not really all that surprising he would say yes to a job without first seeing a script.

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

He talked about this before when he had Reedus on his Spotify podcast.

I love that Kojima is like a weeb in reverse, totally enamoured with American culture

 

[Dacvak]

I imagine it was something similar for Jordan Peele.

 

[KuraiShidosha]

Was he sick or something at the time? I noticed it immediately but even he comments on how skinny he was at the time.

Didn't Guillermo Del Toro call Norman and tell him to just agree to whatever Kojima had in mind?

 

[rabbity-thing]

I imagine it went something like this...

 

[j0hnnix]

So Norman Reedus always wanted to work for FedEx.

 

[Badlucktroll]

“Kojimaaaaaa!!”

 

[VolticArchangel]

Didn't Guillermo Del Toro call Norman and tell him to just agree to whatever Kojima had in mind?

Yes, that was for Silent Hills.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Norman coexisting with the other stars in the death stranding game was excellent, sure the cargo inventory stinks but remember stars are expected now in video games because of death stranding and cyberpunk.
