While Kojima Productions is undoubtedly focusing on OD first, the “non-Metal Gear Solid” title is surely next in line.
MP1st has revealed several details about the game, which is one of Hideo Kojima’s upcoming projects. The cast includes Hollywood stars such as Charlee Fraser, Don Lee, and Minami Hamabe. They are still looking for additional actors. The internal codename used for casting is “Shimmer.” Mari Ueda will be the casting director. Ueda founded the motion capture company Pivot Motion, which recently collaborated with Kojima on Death Stranding 2: On the Beach.
The auditions aim to fill the roles of several passengers on a hijacked bus. These include a mother holding her newborn, five teenagers of different ethnicities, two other male passengers, and an antagonist who speaks with a German accent. The most striking character is clearly the villain. Interestingly, the role is described as “Mads Mikkelsen in Hannibal, but with style,” referencing an actor who has previously worked with Kojima. The villain is described as having a quiet but intense personality and being psychotically confident. Great emphasis is placed on the German accent.
Now, let’s look at the full casting call. The villain is described as being between 50 and 70 years old, white, 5’10”, and weighing 143 lbs., with a slender build. He is quiet and intense, and his presence makes the tension palpable. He is psychotically confident. He is the calm, cold-blooded killer type. Imagine Mads Mikkelsen in Hannibal, but with more style. A German accent is required for this lead role. Then there is the male character who is 25-35 years old, of any ethnicity, and 175-183 cm tall. He is a passenger on a hijacked bus. Applicants are also expected to submit motion capture and MCAP work samples for this role.
They are also looking for an Asian woman between 25 and 35 years old who is between 160 and 165 cm tall. She will play multiple characters, including a 17-year-old teenager, a mother, and a passenger on the same hijacked bus. They are looking for versatile actors. Mocap and PCAP experience is required, and samples of your work must be included. Finally, they are looking for a woman, aged 25-35, of white or mixed ethnicity, who is 160-165 cm tall. She will also portray multiple characters.
