In The Future, Hideo Kojima Says His Studio Will Make Films
- Thread starter LordDraven
- Start date
Almost every game I've played of his - I've always thought he could do with an editor to help him trim the fat. Movies being considerably shorter than games, mostly, I wish him and whoever gets the editing job, well. Not that I am saying there wasn't an editor on his games. I'm sure there was but you know they went long in places.
I think biggest issue will be money. Movie industry doesn't really write blank checks (well, Netflix does). Hell, Martin Scorsese had to go hat in hand to beg money for Silence. If Kojima aims big there will no doubt be multiple people telling him what to do, this might be good or bad thing.
He definitely lost the benefit of the doubt sexism-wise to me.
But even when "the serious talk about atomic weapons which are very bad don't you know" in MGS3 was sandwiched between Snake and a woman whith her shirt open to her belly shadow puppeting sexual intercourses.
I mean, I'd prefer a game designed by Kojima but written by someone else. Writing is his weak point. Deasiging is his strong.
Watch as he snacth the rights to the metal gear movie, and then make it the actual chapter 3.
But honestly, Guilherme dele Toro loves him already, so

That ship sailed when he learned how much shit he could put on a PS1 CD
In the BBC1 documentary on Death Stranding he said that he believes streaming and streaming services are the future of gaming and that games will have to compete with movies and TV on that level so it makes that he wants to make films. I think he imagines a future where say on Netflix or Hulu you are not only going to be streaming movies and TV but games as well, so he feels they are going to to competing even more with those mediums.
Nah, Kojima actually gets his games finished (with the exception of MGS 5).
I'm convinced that del Toro and these other actors and directors have never played his games, since they don't have a clue how sexist and exploitative Kojima can be.
Heck, a few of del Toro's movies have had themes of anti-sexism in them. I'd think he'd he'd be embarrassed if he was more aware of Kojima's portrayal of women.
But seriously, with Death Stranding, the man did make a lot of connections with people from movie industry. This is logical next step.
Final Fantasy the Spirits Within nearly killed Square. And the movie wasn't even half-bad.
I'm . . . not sure this is a good idea.

I think he would make a good film director, as long as he's also not the screenwriter. Don't know how well he would handle actors though but he certainly has an eye for how to stage scenes and action. At this point though, I think a lot for game directors and studios can lay claim to that.
I'm glad for the team! Hope they can weather the industry.
Actors really enjoyed working with Uwe Boll. Plenty of drunken, phoned in performances from good actors. It's not always a recipe for great acting.
He is certainly at a stage in his career where he should be able to do what he wants project wise but I don't think myself I'd be as interested in a Kojipro movie vs. a Kojipro game (with lots of cutscenes). I like to have my cake and eat it too I guess lol.
... i mean, we will never know if he can make good movie if he dont try at first
Hey, remember when square tried to do this and The Spirits Within bombed? I feel like the same thing would happen.
Worked out well for Squaresoft when they made The Spirits Within.
Yes we can only speculate; some are speculating that they think he'd create something awesome.. nothing wrong with speculation in either direction.
Fair, but I don't think sexism is the main reason that most people dislike him these days. I think most people are upset about his fame.
Kojima's recognition is definitely a "big fish in a small pond" type of thing. No one else in the videogame industry really strives to create border-line movies in the same way that he does. Very few games have a combination of "good production value" and "interesting writing".
The second he steps into the actual film world I think he will get destroyed. Kojima has talent, but he hasn't been honing it as an actual filmmaker and director. Videogame fans can put up with garbage writing and iffy acting because the bar is generally very low.
