Death Stranding is getting a film adaptation

The project will be a joint collaboration between developer Kojima Productions and Hammerstone Studios, led by Alex Lebovici, who served as a producer on the horror film Barbarian. According to a press release, the plot for the film is being kept quiet for now, but it will “introduce new elements and characters within the Death Stranding universe.”

“I couldn’t be more excited about this new partnership with Hammerstone Studios,” said Kojima said in a statement. “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.”

No word on a release time frame, but the companies say that the Death Stranding film “is on the fast track with development underway.”
