The film a stranding of live death will be directed by a quiet place: director of the first day Michael Sarnoski

The director of Pig AND A quiet place: first day it will enter the entrance Hideo KojimaThe wild surreal world of Stranding of death. Michael Sarnoski It is destined to write and direct the live-action adaptation of the video game for the mind for the productions A24 and Kojima.

Stranding of death It’s a journey. The story is set in a future disturbingly fractured America, Sam Porter Bridges follows (originally played by Norman Reedus) while carrying load through a landscape infested with spectral creatures and rain that moves over time. It is a meditation on solitude, human connection and the end of the world with some very strange touches, very kojima.

The game has attracted over 19 million players from its debut on PlayStation 4 in 2019 and has an stacky cast that also includes Mads Mikkelsen, Léa Seydoux, Guillermo del ToroAND Margaret Qualley.

I was a big fan of Sarnoski Breakout movie Pigwho followed an enterprising man to find the pork of the truffle that was stolen from him. The film was both a wild study and a silent and melancholy character, with Nicolas Cage offer one of its best performances over the years.

That movie put Sarnoski on the Hollywood radar and led him to Helm A quiet place: first daywhich collected over $ 250 million globally last summer. Now, it is taking one of the universes of the game more than they challenge each other.

Kojima himself spoke long that he wanted his games to evolve beyond traditional formats, and now that evolution has found his director.

The creator of the game previously admired that it will be “quite difficult” to adapt, saying: “It is easier to adapt it to a TV series, such as The Last of Us. It is quite difficult to adapt a game of 50-60 hours as Death Stranding in a 2-3 hours film.”

Kojima also explained that the cuts should be made, adding: “The story of the game does not adapt to just two hours”. However, he hopes that the film will be successful due to other video game projects that have been developed over the years that have been successful as The Super Mario Bros. film. He said:

“In the past, the cinematographic adaptations of video games have always failed … but in the last 4-5 years, people who understand the games have taken on the task of adapting them in a film or in a drama. Different successes have been made, how [The Super Mario Bros. Movie]. This is the trend these days. “

THE Stranding of death The film is produced in collaboration with A24 and when we talk about their involvement and what they will lead to the film, Kojima said:

“With A24, I want to do something based on a game but also indie and artistic – something that can win prizes in film festivals such as Cannes, Venice or Sunday.”

When previously talked about the film, Kojima explained that it will not be a direct translation of the game: “There are many adaptation films of the game” out there, but what we are creating is not only a direct translation of the game. The intention is that our audience will not only be fans of the games, but our film will be for anyone who loves cinema. “

He added that they are expanding the Stranding of death World: “We are creating a Stranding of death Universe that has never been seen before, achievable only through the means of the film, will be born. “Kojima also added that he believes that the” innovative approach “of A24 to the narration corresponds to what Kojima has done in the last eight years.

The original game “challenges the players to reconnect a fractured club after the cataclysmic event” Stranding Stranding “. This has opened a door between the living and the dead, bringing to creatures from the afterlife that wander the world that fell unfortunately from a desolate society. Of a decimated America.”

This will be a very difficult game to adapt to a film and I hope Sarnoski has talent and skills as a director and narrator to make a fantastic film.
