Sarnoski previously directed “A Quiet Place: Day One” and the upcoming A24 feature “Death of Robin Hood” starring Hugh Jackman and Jodie Comer. Sarnoski told IndieWire in 2024 when asked if he would direct another “Quiet Place” that he was planning on making an original film next.

On Monday, A24 announced a big update for the next major adaptation, Death Stranding, in collaboration with Hideo Kojima’s Kojima Productions. Per Deadline, Director Michael Sarnoski has been tapped to write and direct the adaptation after teaming with A24 on his upcoming feature The Death Of Robin Hood.

The “Death Stranding” film adaptation was first announced in 2023, when the critically acclaimed game from Hideo Kojima landed at A24. TheWrap exclusively reported earlier that year that A24 was expanding its strategy beyond arthouse films and into more commercial fare, and this IP certainly fits that bill.
