Kojima and Mikami Came Together for… Something
Under most circumstances, a picture of famed Japanese game designers Shinji Mikami and Hideo Kojima standing side-by-side wouldn’t be news. All you need to do is look at the games these two have in the pipeline — The Evil Within from Mikami, Silent Hills from Kojima — and the imminent arrival of Tokyo Game Show on Sept 18 qualifies this as something worth talking about.
Since we have no context, our minds are free to imagine the more ridiculous possibilities, like a collaborative project between Mikami and Kojima, or perhaps Mikami decided to make the Kojima/Guillermo Del Toro dream team even dreamier with his involvement.
I’m sure the story behind this is more along the lines of “two colleagues meet up to chat about the awesome things they’re doing for the horror community”, but coming up with other reasons is still super fun. If you have an idea, share it in the comments.
The image comes from a post on the official The Evil Within Facebook page, along with some Japanese text that mentions something about Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu and the cryptic message “What do you think Shinji and Kojima are talking about?”
What indeed!
Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
