‘A Quiet Place: Day One’ Director is Heading the New Death Stranding Movie

It’s been disclosed that Michael Sarnoski, known for his work on ‘A Quiet Place: Day One’, is set to take the helm for the upcoming Death Stranding film.

According to a recent report from Deadline, it appears that Michael Sarnoski has been chosen as both the director and writer for the live-action adaptation of Hideo Kojima’s video game Death Stranding. Sarnoski gained prominence following his film ‘Pig’, which starred Nicolas Cage. Following this success, he went on to direct ‘A Quiet Place: Day One’, earning over $250 million globally.

The announcement of the Death Stranding film collaboration between Hideo Kojima and film studio A24 was made in 2022. Specific details about the movie are yet to be revealed, but Kojima has expressed his intention to create a more art-focused production for the film.

The meaning of those remarks could become clearer if you’ve previously seen some films produced by A24, such as ‘The Witch’ and ‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’.

As for the upcoming Death Stranding movie, there’s been no news about its cast so far. However, fans dreaming of Norman Reedus returning to his role might want to temper their expectations, as it seems unlikely at this point.

Based on reports from Deadline, the film is expected to center around a narrative distinct from the game’s content, introducing fresh ‘aspects and personalities’ within the current Death Stranding universe.

In this revised game, players assume the role of Sam Porter Bridges, portrayed by Norman Reedus. His mission involves restoring communication links to cut-off outposts and settlements across the United States. The country has been drastically altered due to an unspecified event, leaving it a shadow of its past glory, teeming with mysterious creatures.
