Hideo Kojima has ♏spoken about the Death Stranding movie in a new Hide🍌oTube interview

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Hideo Kojima has spoken about the upcoming Death Stranding movie, admittiಞng that it will be "quite di🙈fficult" to adapt his most recent work.
"It’s easier to adapt it into a TV series, like 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Last of Us," Kojima said in the l💜atest episode of . "It’s quite difficult to adapt a 50-60 hour game like Death Stranding into a 2-3 hour movie." In the same interview, Kojima hinted that cuts would have to be made, adding, "the story of the game as is won’t fit into just two hours."
However, Kojima has noted that the tide is turning on video game movies – namechecking the billion-dollar grossing 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Super Mario Bros. Movie as an example of adapওtations that proved successful thanks to the creativeಞ teams behind the projects.
"In the past, film adaptations of video games always failed… But in the last 4-5 years, people who un🍎derstand games have taken on the task of adapting it into a film or drama," Kojꦏima explains. "Several hits have been made, like [The Super Mario Bros. Movie]. That’s the trend these days.”
It’s fair to say, though, that the Death Stranding movie – 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:be🅘ing produced in🐲 collaboration with A24 – will aim for industry credentials alongside box office suꦦccess &nd๊ash; if Kojima has his way, anyway.
"With A24, I want to ma🍰ke something that’s base💯d on a game but also indie and artistic – something that can win awards at film festivals like Cannes, Venice or Sundance."
Other than that, it’s very early days fꦅor the project, including whether the game’s lead Norman Re💎edus will reprise his role as courier Sam Bridges-Porter.
