Death Stranding 2

Say what you will about gaming auteur and Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima, but the man clearly has a talent for the pitch. On its surface, post-apocalyptic mailman simulator Death Stranding doesn't lend itself well to a cinematic universe, given its slow, action-averse gameplay.

That sure hasn't stopped him, though. A24 is handling a live-action Death Stranding movie, ABC Animation is handling an animated movie under Kojima Productions themselves, and if that weren't enough, Disney of all companies has just announced an animated series. It's not hard to see the appeal of telling more stories in that strange, bizarre world, though I'm glad it's not all Norman Reedus all the time.

"My mom became a crater" is in the running for the best tagline of all time.
