Amidst the ongoing Writers’ Strike and SAG-AFTRA Strike in Hollywood, the future of several upcoming shows and films remains uncertain. However, there is exciting news for fans of Death Stranding, as the film adaptation is confirmed to be in development.
In a recent conversation with Screen Rant, producer Allan Ungar discussed the importance of the Death Stranding film to creator Hideo Kojima. Ungar emphasized that this project holds significant value to Kojima, as it is his first independent studio venture that garnered critical acclaim.
Ungar also hinted at upcoming news related to the project, but due to the ongoing strikes and protests in Hollywood, he was unable to provide specific details:
“Due to the strike and everything happening in our industry right now, I can’t disclose much. However, I can assure you that there will be exciting news soon, and we’re thrilled about the direction we’re taking.”
Ungar confirmed that Kojima remains heavily involved in the creative process of the game, focusing on each step along the way. Regarding the film, Ungar expressed his belief that it will be a pleasant surprise for both fans of the game and film enthusiasts.
Recently, Kojima shared a tweet featuring a motion capture stage with an LED wall displaying a background reminiscent of Death Stranding. However, it remains unclear whether these images were taken on the sets of the upcoming game or the film in development.
