In a recent interview with the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, Hideo Kojima, the head of Kojima Productions and game industry auteur, talked about working with celebrities in his video games and the future of his projects as a part of his induction into the organization’s fellowship program.
In Kojima’s last game, Death Stranding, the cast was predominantly made up of big name celebrities and cast members who weren’t usually affiliated with video games. Hollywood actor Norman Reedus, best known for The Walking Dead, starred as the main character, with Hannibal’s Mads Mikkelsen playing the antagonist role. Famous horror and comic book movie director, Guillermo del Toro, also played a major role in the game.
The game also included cameos from media personality Geoff Keighley, American talk show host Conan O’ Brien, and director Edgar Wright, just to name a few.
