Hideo Kojima's 'Death Stranding' Just Recruited the Director of 'A Quiet Place: Day One' for Movie Adaptation

Hideo Kojima’s surreal and genre-bending video game is headed to the big screen, and it just found its director. Michael Sarnoski, the acclaimed filmmaker behind Pig and A Quiet Place: Day One, has been tapped to write and direct the highly anticipated Death Stranding live-action adaptation, according to a report by Deadline. The film is rather excitingly and intriguingly being brought to life by A24, which should mean it's suitably weird and wacky. The adaptation will explore the mysterious aftermath of the “Death Stranding” — a cataclysmic event that blurred the line between the living and the dead, unleashing terrifying spectral creatures into a crumbling and disconnected world.
