Hey everyone, just caught some interesting news about the upcoming Death Stranding movie adaptation. Apparently, director Michael Sarnoski has confirmed that the film won't be a direct retelling of Sam Porter Bridges' journey from the game. Instead, it's going to feature its own original characters and a 'new corner of the world', though some familiar faces might still make an appearance. While it's reassuring that both A24 and Kojima himself seem happy with the script, I'm a bit conflicted by this approach. On one hand, an original story could offer a fresh perspective on the universe, but on the other, I really hope it doesn't lose the unique philosophical and emotional core that made the game so impactful. What do you all think about this direction?
