著名遊戲製作人小島秀夫在回答記者提問時表示,之後即將推出的《死亡擱淺》電影將不會是一款所謂「有著超級巨星和華麗爆炸的好萊塢大片」。而是將更加精雕細琢,採用一種相對來說更加藝術化的方式向各位玩家,和不怎麼打遊戲的各位呈現。
在採訪中小島表示:「我們還沒有完全決定是否要讓遊戲中的演員們出演電影,前段時間遊戲改編電影出現了不少只為贏得玩家的好評而改得面目全非的意思,這就是為什麼這些所謂的改編電影看起來都跟遊戲似的,我並不希望《死亡擱淺》電影也會變成那樣,恰恰相反的是,我將會用一種更加適合電影的方式來改變和發展《死亡擱淺》中的遊戲世界。」
小島秀夫表示,從去年起,他每個星期都會和好萊塢的人進行各種聯系。其中很多人說要拍一部有著名演員和華麗爆炸場景的大製作電影,但小島秀夫對製作大片和賺錢都不太在意,他想要追求一種更藝術化的呈現形式。
《死亡擱淺》改編電影由 Hammerstone Studios 全額資助拍攝,小島秀夫和 Alex Lebovici 擔任製片人。該片將為《死亡擱淺》宇宙中引入新的元素和角色,目標是 " 重新定義擁有創作和藝術自由時,遊戲改編可以是什麼樣子 "。
Hideo Kojima says that he "completely rewrote" Death Stranding 2 in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic. Speaking to IGN, Kojima explains that the sheer scale of Covid-19's effect on the world made it impossible not to take into consideration."You can't pretend that something this big never happened," he says. "While the games themselves are based on characters who are not bound by our reality, the players themselves have gone through the pandemic, and a story written before that experience just wouldn't resonate with them in the same way."Kojima discusses the pandemic at length in the interview. Alongside its effect on Death Stranding 2, he also voices his concerns about the distance he believes the pandemic continues to put between people. "I personally feel a sense of danger regarding the continued movement toward promoting remote work, leaving Tokyo, and minimising the amount of face-to-face contact required because of the pandemic," he says. "Humans exist in a physical reality. When I went to America and finally got to hug people again, that feeling was just so different."It's worth noting that Death Stranding itself was eerily prescient about the pandemic, particularly its themes of humanity being scattered and isolated in the wake of a disaster. This is something Kojima comments on directly in the interview. "Creating connections was the right thing to do in Death Stranding, and there are a lot of isolated people who were able to survive because of connections once the pandemic really happened. I just wonder whether we should be doing that via the Internet alone."Kojima further believes that these issues of "isolation and division" affecting the world right now are not exclusively related to Covid. He doesn't specify what these other factors are, but it's reasonable to assume he's referring to the war in Ukraine, and possibly the rise of fascism in the US and Europe (although it should be said that humanity struggling with issues of social and political division is not exactly a new problem). In any case, Kojima believes entertainment can play a role in resolving these issues. "Entertainment can't intervene in politics, nor can it be used as a weapon. The existence of entertainment can change the world though, and I want to help put life into people by providing them with entertainment."At the same time, he worries that technology will continue to have a distancing effect, both between individuals, and between people and art. "I think gaming hardware platforms will ultimately vanish, and it will all be sharable anytime, anywhere and with anyone," he says. "My concern, though, is that the world might become one where entertainment is brought down to us from above. Even now, AI will recommend what it thinks you'll like, and I think we'll end in a place where individual videos change depending on who is watching them."This wasn't everything Kojima told IGN. He also spoke with them in depth about Kojima Productions' plans for the Death Stranding movie (opens in new tab), which he says is "taking a direction nobody has tried before."
