Pioneering Sci-Fi Director Earns Praise from Hideo Kojima for Legendary Saga

Culture news “It’s God” Hideo Kojima praises this director who revolutionized sci-fi with a legendary saga!

Kojima passion for cinema

We know that Hideo Kojima maintains a close link with the seventh art. The director has slipped numerous references to cinema into his video games and even had the luxury of inviting several big names in the industry like Guillermo del Toro or Nicolas Winding Refn to participate in his latest project, Death Stranding.

Beyond these different inspirations, the Japanese master is a great film buff who watches numerous films and comments on these latest viewings on these various social networks. Recently, the creator notably praised the latest Palme d'Or, Anatomy of a Fall, by sharing his opinion with his community.Hideo Kojima and cinema are a love story that has been going on for a long time. And the director proved it once again by sending the most laudatory message to George Miller, the creator of Mad Max.

The most laudatory of messages

George Miller is back in the cinematic news of 2024 as the filmmaker is soon to return with a new feature film which also marks his return to his first big success. Thus, George Miller must offer Mad Max fans a prequel to Fury Road dedicated to the character of Furiosa with the eponymous film.

And while the release of this film is fast approaching, George Miller's career is being praised around the world. A book aimed at returning to the Mad Max saga has just been released in Japan. And Hideo Kojima was chosen to write a short message to promote this book, as he explained on X/Twitter.

I wrote a comment on the obi (in Japan, the band of paper surrounding the cover of a book) of “The Legend of Mad Max: the complete saga from Mad Max to Furiosa.”MAD MAX is legendary. George Mille is God. Therefore, this book is a Bible!”

For Hideo Kojima, George Miller is therefore a filmmaker with divine talent. A more than complimentary compliment, which shows the importance of the filmmaker for the game creator. You should also know that Hideo Kojima shared several photos of himself with the director in the premises of Kojima Productions. As we saw in the first trailers for Death Stranding 2: On The Beachthe filmmaker must lend his features to a character in the game. So come to theaters on May 22 to discover Furiosa, then by next year to see George Miller in Death Stranding 2.
