A movie based on Death Stranding is finally happening, and the film adaptation is perfectly positioned to fix a major criticism of the original video game. Death Stranding was a huge hit upon its release, and the game was met with positive reception, there were a few criticisms with it. Luckily, the movie adaptation gives Death Stranding a second chance, with the live-action version being able to right the wrongs of the series’ past.
A24 has announced that a Death Stranding movie is in development, with the prestigious studio set to adapt the video game into a live-action feature film. Death Stranding is a 2019 video game directed by legendary game developer Hideo Kojima, the mind behind the Metal Gear franchise. Death Stranding was an incredibly hyped sequel leading up to its release, and with a sequel now in development, this seems like the perfect time for A24 to release their Death Stranding movie.
Death Stranding’s Video Game Actors Could Actually Star In The Live-Action Movie
One of the most notable parts of the Death Stranding video game was its massive cast of film actors, and A24’s Death Stranding movie could repeat this trick. Norman Reedus is the face of Death Stranding, but he isn’t the only big name who appeared in the game. Plenty of major actors fill out the cast of Death Stranding, meaning that they should return in the film adaptation.
One of the best things that the Death Stranding movie can do would be to get these actors to actually star in the live-action movie, and the odds of this seem likely. A24 is an incredibly prestigious studio that has worked with all kinds of massive actors, so it shouldn’t be hard for them to pull in some of the faces from the original video game.
The Death Stranding Cast Is Filled With Major Stars
The cast of Death Stranding is filled with major stars, with Norman Reedus being far from the only film actor to appear in the game. Mads Mikkelsen and Lea Seydoux play major roles in Death Stranding, among other big names. Death Stranding also contains cameos from some prominent directors, such as Guillermo del Toro and Nicolas Winding Refn.
Unlike most video games, Death Stranding used the likenesses of each of these stars in the game, making these actors staples of the franchise. Because of this, it would be really weird to recast them in the film adaptation, especially because A24 should be able to get these actors. While its possible that the film could succeed with different actors, Death Stranding‘s association with Norman Reedus and the rest of the cast mean that they should return for the A24 film.
