As a long-time fan and admirer of Hideo Kojima‘s groundbreaking work in both gaming and film, I can’t help but feel a sense of excitement tinged with anticipation. The man who brought us Metal Gear Solid, Death Stranding, and now, it seems, a host of Hollywood projects, has signed with WME – the agency that represents some of the biggest names in the industry.


As a die-hard fan, it’s no secret that I, like Hideo Kojima, share an intense love for cinema and a captivating curiosity about Hollywood. Though a Death Stranding film adaptation is underway at the independent juggernaut A24, Kojima shows no signs of slowing down his cinematic endeavors. Now, he’s teamed up with WME to map out his next moves in the world of silver screen storytelling.

In a chat with Variety, Kojima discussed his signing with WME. He reminisced about the stark divide between game development and film and TV when he started out, and how that boundary has become increasingly blurred over the years. “I’ve noticed a shift in the discussions I have with people in the movie business,” he stated. “That wasn’t always the case.” He further pointed out the growing trend of digital filmmaking methods, such as the adoption of Unreal Engine in certain productions.
