Kojima Productions and Alex Lebovici’s Hammerstone Studios have partnered up to develop and produce a movie based on the video game Death Stranding, according to Deadline.
Hammerstone Studios will finance the movie, while Hideo Kojima and Lebovici will be producers on the film. Kojima Productions US and Allan Ungar will serve as executive producers.
"I couldn’t be more excited about this new partnership with Hammerstone Studios," said Kojima. "This is a pivotal moment for the franchise and I’m really looking forward to collaborating with them in bringing Death Stranding to the big screen."
Lebovici added, "We are thrilled and honored to have the opportunity to partner with brilliant and iconic Hideo Kojima on his first film adaptation Unlike other big budget tentpole video game adaptations, this will be something far more intimate and grounded.
"Our goal is to redefine what a video game adaptation could be when you have creative and artistic freedom. This film will be an authentic ‘Hideo Kojima’ production."
Hammerstone Studios has previously funded Kung Fury, Barbarian, Zeros to Ones, Bill & Ted Face the Music, Come Away, and The Public.

-Kojima, probably
I wonder who they have in mind to play the lead?
No idea kkkkk
Hopefully it won't be as dull as the game.
i think it may work better as a tv mini series
Nice. Looking forward to it.
Well I'm sure to watch it.
I would see a movie from him but not from death stranding, that story was fucking stupid and nothing made sense. By a country mile the worst thing he made.
They're saying very obviously that this will be a low to moderate budget film, not a big blockbuster. That concerns me a little bit. Kojima needs a good writers and directors to make his stuff translate well to movies.
Did not expect this . Well I’m open for it. If I don’t finish the game then I watch the movie
Norman Reedus and the original cast woudnt be a bad choice but then again u could use new actors for cheap payment haha
Then again with DS2 being produced and people like Reedus seemingly pretty invested in the product getting them onboard may not be to hard.
