Among the favorite scenes of Kojima filmed to Death Stranding 2He mentions a seizure of Marinelli and Jung: “Luca, meanwhile, was filming the series Mussolini: Son of the centuryDirected by Joe Wright. When I offered him the role he was beautiful, he looked like a young Alain Delon. But when I scanned it, I had changed: I asked him what had happened. He replied: “I am fattening to play Mussolini.” We couldn’t do much, so we scanned it like him.

“A year later, at the time of the capture of movement, I had changed again. I thought:” Oh, God, it is not the luke I expected, “but then we solved it digitally. It was a big problem, but what he filmed is really good! Most of the scenes with Alissa and Luca are only between the two, and the interesting thing is that, because they are husbands and wife in real life, they have an incredible chemistry.

“Luca comes from the theater, and Alissa is director and actor.
