From Kojima Productions and Line Mileage Film, the film will tell an original story within the world of the 2019 Hideo Kojima video game.
Aaron Guzikowski (Raised by Wolves, Prisoners) is set to pen the script for Kojima Productions and Line Mileage’s upcoming adult animated feature adaptation of Death Stranding. The film will tell an original story within the world of the Hideo Kojima video game.
“I love the world of Death Stranding, it’s so creatively freeing, so beautifully dark and yet hopeful; I’m so excited and honored that Hideo Kojima, whose work I’ve long admired, has invited me to dwell within his creation, to birth new stories into this fertile, mind-bending universe,” said Guzikowski. “Drawing and animation have always been near and dear to my heart, so to finally get to play in this space is a dream come true.”
The 2019 game, which blends cinematic ambition, metaphysical mystery, and emotional connection, features performances from Norman Reedus, Mads Mikkelsen, Léa Seydoux, Guillermo Del Toro, and others.
“As an avid gamer I can say, unequivocally, Death Stranding is the most cinematic, thought-provoking video game I have ever played,” said Daniel Dominguez, Line Mileage CCO. “Playing it gave me the same emotional rush, visceral punch, and intellectual pleasure I had the first time I watched Blade Runner, or Ghost in the Shell. Adapting it into a form it so naturally evokes is an honor. And for Aaron Guzikowski to lend his talents, whose authorial mind and creative energy humble me... needless to say, this project is a dream come true.”
