Death Stranding Movie Is Getting Action & Excitement Without 1 Major Element

Michael Sarnoski may have garnered praise for masterfully integrating gore and violence in The Death of Robin Head, but his next project, the Death Stranding movie, won’t get the same treatment. In a recent interview, the 31-year-old filmmaker shed light on the tone of his big-screen adaptation of Hideo Kojima’s fan-favorite video game, revealing that while the film will have “action and excitement,” it won’t be as violent as his latest feature.

Michael Sarnoski talks about how violent his Death Stranding movie will be

While speaking with GamesRadar+, Sarnoski explained how the action featured in the upcoming Death Stranding movie differs greatly from the bloodshed showcased in The Death of Robin Head.

“I wouldn’t say the script is very violent,” the up-and-coming director said. “There’s definitely a lot of, like, action and excitement to it. There’s some violence to it. I mean, Death Stranding is a brutal world…and it’s a world also where it feels like death is just around the corner. So there needs to be that sort of visceral sense of, ‘oh, this could be it.’ It’s [a] sort of bleak and barren post-apocalyptic environment. So there is violence and action to it, but the role of violence is very different from this one. [The Death of Robin Hood] is a movie that kind of questions violence,” he continued.

Sarnoski added, “In Death Stranding, the sort of violence and action is about exploration and about understanding the world more deeply. So there will be some, but you’re not gonna see a lot of jaws getting ripped off in Death Stranding.”

Announced in 2023, the live-action adaptation of Death Stranding does not yet have an official release date. Moreover, A24 has yet to share any information regarding the casting process of the much-awaited project. While Norman Reedus, who serves as the protagonist in Hideo Kojima’s original video games, has expressed interest in coming back to the franchise, no official updates about his proposed involvement have come out yet.
