Hideo Kojima taking an "arthouse approach" with Death Stranding movie
Hideo Kojima is taking an “arthouse approach” with the upcoming Death Stranding movie, he’s said.
Speaking to IGN, Kojima said he partnered with Barbarian executive producer Alex Lebovici in a bid to avoid making a “blockbuster” film.
“I was on video calls with lots of people in Hollywood every week beginning last year, and not just for Death Stranding,” Kojima revealed.
“I received a lot of offers, but my intention from the start was never to make a blockbuster film. Alex Lebovici from Hammerstone Studios shared my vision with regards to that. There were a lot of pitches to make a large-scale movie with famous actors and flashy explosions, but what good would explosions be in Death Stranding?
