Hideo Kojimais partnering withA24, the company behindEverything Everywhere All at Onceand Uncut Gems, on theDeath Strandingmovie.

As revealed on theA24 Shop– and flagged byWario 64 on Twitter– the film production studio and distributor announced, “It’s official: we’ve partnered with Kojima Productions on the live-action feature film adaptation of Hideo Kojima’s acclaimed video game, Death Stranding.” You can even buy a $40 t-shirt with the A24 logo being given a Death Stranding makeover.

It appears this reveal has been announced ahead of time.Reddit user RedSeven4uncovered an A24 logo while snooping around the Kojima Productions website.

It’s unclear exactly how A24 will be involved, but it certainly brings some considerable cinematic pedigree. Talk to Me, Past Lives, and The Whale are just some of the titles it has partially produced or been involved with in the past 12 months. Other acclaimed works include Lady Bird, The Green Knight, and Everything Everywhere All at Once – which won Best Picture earlier this year.

Little is known about the film adaptation – including whether its litany of stars, including Reedus, Lea Seydoux, and Lindsay Wagner will return – but Hideo Kojima previously revealedhe would be “deeply involved” in production.

“Just to be clear, I am deeply involved in producing, supervising, plotting, look, design and content of the film adaptation of DS, just not in charge of directing,” Kojima tweeted in June.
