Death Stranding, the proposed adaptation of the video game created by Metal Gear Solid's Hideo Kojima, remains in pre-production and producer Allan Ungar has given some positive news about the film.
Speaking with Screen Rant, Ungar was asked about the status of the film's development and, while acknowledging how crucial the importance of success is for the striking workers and its impact on future projects, revealed that work is continuing on the production of Death Stranding and teased that "very exciting news" would soon follow, adding that Kojima was heavily involved in the project.
"This is an incredibly, incredibly important undertaking for [Kojima]. This is his baby, this is the first time that he went out on his own as an independent studio, and made a game, and that game became critically acclaimed, it became very prolific.
Players take on the role of Sam Porter Bridges, portrayed by Norman Reedus, who works as a courier for an organization known as Bridges.
