This is all Konami’s fault for canceling Silent Hills.
In all seriousness though, I truly wonder if Kojima will actually adapt to movie making well. I understand that his games are akin to movies in some regards. However, I don’t believe that it’ll be a good fit for him just due to the amount of exposition and random lore he dumps.
But judging by the article it seems less like he wants to make movies. But wants Kojima Productions to make spin off entertainment relating to Death Stranding, whether he be involved as the director is yet to be seen.

He always seemed like he wanted to make movies anyway over video games tbh.

Do we know that he’s planning to do live action and not animated features?
Edit: whatever he does, I’m sure he’ll pull a stunt that makes the theater-staff-read dialogue in FFC’s new movie seem trivial (I mean it was, but you get my point)
I wouldn’t be upset if Kojima applied his same ethic to fucking with players to his movies. I’m thinking about the multiple endings to Clue, the handful of old movies would give scratch and sniff cars for curated fragrances to match te movie.
Not the gimmicky 4D stuff, just weird things.
Maybe he’ll make a movie that exclusively can be shown during sunset at a drive in (thinking of “Boktai: the sun is in your hand”)

I really admire how he played the long game to grift his way into Hollywood.

Can we turn this post into a “what kind of kooky immersion/4th wall-breaking/meta-commentary stuff would Kojima do in a major motion picture screening?”

It will be epic. The product placement, I mean.

I look forward to his take on the moment in 1998 when The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer’s table.

OH! Oh…

I still remember Metal Gear Solid, definitely one of the best video games of all time, which, importantly, helped other video games adopt and invest on movie-like tools and qualities. Metal Gear, if handled correctly, can be an excellent movie franchise.

I really can’t stand this guy.
