Overview
- Sarnoski said in mid‑June that he is revising the screenplay and is close to finishing it.
- Kojima and A24 have read early drafts and provided feedback, with Kojima serving as an executive producer who has given Sarnoski creative freedom.
- The film will tell a new, adjacent story set in the game's post‑apocalyptic world and will use mostly original characters rather than directly adapting the game's plot.
- Sarnoski says the movie will deliver action and excitement but will avoid the highly graphic on‑screen violence seen in some of his prior work.
- Key production details remain open, including casting and a release date, and one report says a second draft was submitted with early plans pointing to filming next year in Iceland and Northern Ireland.
