“Putting Elle in a video game is a big responsibility on my part, so I wanted to make something that will live up to her expectations.”
Kojima closed the conversation by saying that putting Elle in a video game is a big responsibility on his part, so he wanted to make something that will live up to her expectations. He noted that Elle is very young but grounded and smart, which showed in their talk, and that they still have a lot more to shoot, so he is looking forward to making something great with her. He also warned fans that while many people have an image of Elle from her previous film roles, he is working on something new that is quite challenging and cannot say what it is yet; he believes fans of Elle will truly enjoy it and those who are not yet fans will come to love her as well. During the conversation he left the door open, inviting Elle to see the game anytime and saying she is always welcome to come and he can show it to her whenever she wants.
“But Elle, if you ever want to see the game, you're always welcome to come here and I can show you anytime. […] And she's so young, but very grounded and smart, which you could probably tell from our talk. We still have a lot more to shoot, so I'm looking forward to making something great with her. […] but I'm working on something new that's quite challenging. […] for those who are not yet fans of Elle, they will definitely grow to love her too.”
