Death Stranding Movie Gets Update as Director Scouts Beautiful Filming Locations in Iceland
The Death Stranding movie appears to be ramping up to production, as director Michael Sarnoski and cinematographer Pat Scola share a beautiful view from location scouting.
The production of the Death Stranding movie is gaining momentum, with director Michael Sarnoski and cinematographer Pat Scola recently filming locations in Iceland for the project. Sarnoski is currently scouting spots in Iceland for the film, sharing a selfie in a Death Stranding T-shirt and reposting a video of Scola showcasing stunning Icelandic scenery, including waterfalls and abundant moss.
The picturesque view suggests the film's aesthetic aligns with the game, though it may have more sunlight. The creative team appears to understand the game's atmosphere, opting for on-location shooting over relying on sets and CGI. Earlier this summer, Sarnoski announced plans to film the Death Stranding movie next year in Iceland and Northern Ireland.
The director, working with A24 and Square Peg, aims to create a new, original story within the game's universe, with the support of creator Hideo Kojima. Familiar characters from the game may appear, while Sarnoski hints at other cast members joining. An exact release date remains uncertain, but a potential 2028 release is possible depending on the shooting schedule.
Norman Reedus has shown interest in returning as Sam Porter Bridges, but his involvement has not been confirmed.
