Hideo Kojima isn't directing the Death Stranding movie, but he is "deeply involved" in it

Hideo Kojima might be one of the biggest film nerds around, but he won't be directing the film adaptation of Death Stranding. That doesn't mean he isn't involved with the film, though. If you're remotely familiar with Kojima, you should be aware that the guy just loves movies. So it's not particularly surprising to hear that the video game maker has "deeply involved," himself in the film. Over the weekend, Kojima took to his English language Twitter to clarify his specific involvement in the film, writing, "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."
