Elle Fanning: People Say Death Stranding 2 Is The Coolest Thing I've Ever Done

"OK, now you cry"

www.pushsquare.com

Death Stranding 2 remains a fairly unknown quantity. But, if the first game taught us anything, it's going to be super weird, a visual and stylistic tour de force, and chances are it will end up being pretty darn good, too.

In an interview with Josh Horowitz, Elle Fanning, who portrays a mysterious but clearly key character in the Death Stranding sequel, describes her experiences on the set of the game. The actress had some prior familiarity with motion capture but found performing for a video game a refreshing challenge (including when Kojima asked her to cry on cue).

Fanning freely admits she is not a gamer but is looking forward to playing the game once it's out (Kojima apparently even sent her a "PS3", but that may have been a slip of the tongue). She has also found the level of fervour and hype the game has engendered to be something new, too, with the sheer volume of comments and speculation surrounding the project surprising her.

I'll be there day one. Not clicking a push square link though.

 

[Esppiral]

So she worked on shitty projects before.

 

[near]

Kojima sent her a PS3?

I have a feeling this game is about to be Kojima's comeback. The 1st one was amazing but it didn't get the same Kojima level praise like he did in the past. This one is definitely getting 90+. I can feel it.

I hope NWR is on DS2.. so she can Go Back for The Neon Demon 2

If they make it less amazon, maybe.

Kojima is too weird with his taste.

I want to marry this woman, no idea why. Not a hot babe or anything but just feels like huge wife material.

 

[Bartski]

smashing that like button

 

[Kupfer]

I'm in for the Collectors Edition.

One of the very few games I'd preorder.

 

[SEGA_2012]

Death Stranding 2 ?
Day one purchase

 

[Ansphn]

I think it will be less Amazon and more cool mechanical tools, futuristic vehicles and more shared traversal tools. Wouldnt be surprised if this has a Co-op feature.

 

[Fake]

LOL. Let me judge alone.

Check out 'The Great' if you're interested.

Great show and has some lovely plot by Elle:

The Great | Rotten Tomatoes

A genre-bending, anti-historical ride through 18th-century Russia following the wildly comedic rise of Catherine the Nothing to Catherine the Great.

And we are done.

 

[Represent.]

Thats a long ass video, time stamp?

 

[Monokrom]

I've seen her on the Taken (mini-series) which was great. But that was many moons ago.

Will do. Thanks! I only seen her in Neon Demon which I really liked.

 

[Spaceman292]

Kojima sent her a PS3?

Clearly he wants her to play MGS4

You'll have to fight me for her you big pussy <3

 

[Fbh]

Kojima sent her a PS3?

Probably one that looks like this:

 

[The Cockatrice]

You'll have to fight me for her you big pussy <3

 

[Spaceman292]

I submit you can have her don't hurt me

 

[Doom85]

Definitely one of my most anticipated titles that has been announced. So looking forward to seeing more previews whenever they drop.

 

[The Cockatrice]

I submit you can have her don't hurt me

It was my mustache wasnt it? I've been told it intimidates people, also looks like I may steal your belongings.

 

[NeonGhost]

I’m gonna say Hideo told her that

 

[mckmas8808]

Comeback?

 

[Ansphn]

Comeback?

Yes comeback. Kojima was on top of the gaming world at one point with Metal Gear.

 

[adamsapple]

So she worked on shitty projects before.

 

[Gaelyon]

Is she playing Sam Porter's daughter ?

 

[March Climber]

I’m gonna say Hideo told her that

 

[Adam_802]

lol another kojima slog incoming

 

[k_trout]

death stranding was so surprisingly brilliant, ill believe anything about kojima these days, anything I tell you

 

[Insane Metal]

The things I'd do.......

 

[Alesimage]

The first game was okay. Completed it but much of it was a borefest. I'm just happy I didn't pay to play this game. Used gamepass.

 

[TheThreadsThatBindUs]

Death Stranding was fan-freaking-tastic!

 

[TheInfamousKira]

He gave Reedus a Super Nintendo, guess sex discrimination is still a thing.

 

[ElCasual]

Sorry to bump but I have a question. If the mocap and voice record is not finished, Norman, Ellie and Ledoux can work in DS2? Or the production of the game will be paused?

 

[Spaceman292]

I don't think the strike applies to video games. If there's a problem, Koji can just use AI.
LA LI LU LE LO

 

[nkarafo]

Do we still complain games are too expensive to make?

 

[Chuck Berry]

People say a lot of things, Elle

People said Neon Dragon was good for example

 

[Heisenberg007]

I can think of a few other things.

Or maybe, production is already done!!!

 

[Gojiira]

To play MGS4 obviously…lol
