Honestly, Sarnoski directing feels like a wild but inspired choice—imagine those eerie BT encounters with the same unsettling atmosphere as *Pig*’s quiet intensity. And if the movie’s half as divisive as the game, we’re in for some *fantastic* internet debates.

Michael Sarnoski’s arthouse take on Death Stranding sounds like a perfect match for Kojima’s weirdly poetic universe—here’s hoping it leans into the existential dread as much as the game did. Also, can we get Nicolas Cage as a cameo since Sarnoski already worked with him in Pig
