Writer-director Hideo Kojima has revealed the two deceased Hollywood legends that he would have enjoyed working with for one of his games. Speaking to IndieWire, Kojima singled out Steve McQueen (Bullitt, The Great Escape) and David Lynch (Twin Peaks).
Kojima said McQueen was his “childhood hero,” and he’s not giving up on the possibility of him showing up in a future project, even though the actor died 45 years ago. “If it were possible, even with CG, I would love for him to be in one of my games someday,” he said.
Kojima went on to say that he had “always hoped” to cast Lynch in a video game of his. The visionary filmmaker and actor passed away earlier. Kojima was a big fan of his, saying he was “devastated” like so many others when Lynch died in January this year.
While Kojima didn’t get to work with McQueen or Lynch, he has worked with numerous Hollywood directors on his projects over the years. The filmmakers Jordan Vogt-Roberts, Edgar Wright, Guillemo del Toro, and Nicolas Winding Refn all appeared in Death Stranding, for example. Looking ahead, Kojima is teaming up with Oscar-winning Jordan Peele for the game OD, though the exact nature of the partnership is unknown.
Kojima’s latest game was Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, which was released in June on PS5. In addition to OD, Kojima is working on an espionage game Physint with Sony–he revealed in the IndieWire interview that the game is still early in development and is in the conceptual phase where he is the only person working on it.
