The ‘Death Stranding’ movie is reportedly due to be helmed by ‘A Quiet Place: Day One’ director Michael Sarnoski.
According to Deadline, the filmmaker will be writing and directing the upcoming live-action flick for A24 and Kojima Productions.

The official blurb for ‘Death Stranding 2: On the Beach’ reads: “Embark on an inspiring mission of human connection beyond the UCA. Sam — with companions by his side — sets out on a new journey to save humanity from extinction.
“Join them as they traverse a world beset by otherworldly enemies, obstacles and a haunting question: should we have connected? Step by step, legendary game creator Hideo Kojima changes the world once again.”
