Därför tackade Bill Skarsgård ja till rollen i Kojimas Physint

"That’s a big deal for me. Specifically, the Metal Gear Solid games. I played every single one, at least the ones on console platform. Starting from the one on PlayStation 1 all the way to the last one. I was very enamored by Kojima, the mythology and the universes he creates, but also the sort of mystique and allure about him, as well.

I was really into it growing up. He is an auteur, but he’s a video game auteur. He’s fluent in filmmaking, and film, and cinema. I think at this point, I remember at one point way back, 20 years ago, there was talk of a Metal Gear solid movie. ‘Is Hideo going to direct it? Of course, I can’t wait to see him transition into film.’ I asked him, ‘Would you ever do a film?’ and he’s like, ‘No.’ At this point, what he’s doing is inventing a new medium. It is film. It’s eight hours worth of narrative, but it’s also an entire universe that you play. It truly is, quite literally, worldbuilding. Now, with technology, we’re getting closer and closer to something that's photorealistic and interactive when you play it. He’s a pioneer, and he keeps going out to untreaded waters."
