Norman Reedus Talks Kojima's Directorial Style on Death Stranding
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Death Stranding star Norman Reedus described Hideo Kojima as a “genius’ genius” while discussing the enigmatic game developer’s directorial style.
While discussing how Kojima directed Death Stranding’s cutscenes – with or without all the necessary actors in the same room at times – Reedus described how oftentimes it was just down to he and Kojima, leading to peculiar interactions.
“A lot of times it was just me and Hideo. He would have a plastic baby doll on the ground and want me to cradle it and act like it’s dead. Then act like it’s alive,” Reedus said, seemingly referencing Death Stranding’s first major teaser trailer. "Then freak out because there’s handprints everywhere. You stand up and he goes, imagine there’s a thousand dead whales in front of you, and you’re like, 'What?!' His mind is on another level. He’s a genius’ genius. He and I got into a shorthand where he would look at me and he would point and frown and make a face and I would just go, yep, I got it. We sort of transcended the language barrier after a while.”
