Death Stranding Mosquito – Watch the teaser for the new animated film

Kojima Productions has announced an animated film project, Death Stranding Mosquito (working title), which is a separate story from the Death Stranding video games.. The film will be directed by Hiroshi Miyamoto (Sonic Team, Eiga Hugtto! Precure x Futari wa Precure: All Stars Memories) based on a screenplay by Aaron Guzikowski (Prisoners, The Red Road).   It is in production at ABC Animation Studio.

There is also a live-action Death Stranding movie in the works from A24 and will be directed by Michael Sarnoski. “I think, with this project, we really want to capture the soul of the game, capture the themes of the game, but tell a story you haven’t seen in that world and explore characters you haven’t seen before,” Sarnoski said, “and find all of that scope and all of those incredible real locations, but also find all of those nuanced characters and just do justice to this on a macro and micro scale.”

“We’re trying to find another story that you’ve never seen in this same universe that is both accessible to people that have never played these games before but will also give something to people that know the games really well,” Sarnoski continued. “I think finding that balance and finding a way to tell a human story in this world that captures everything that we love about it, as well as being able to stand on its own two feet, is really the goal.”
