Lollipop Chainsaw Is Getting An Official Live-Action Movie Prequel

A live-action movie prequel to Lollipop Chainsaw is in development. The film will be an R-rated action comedy and follows Juliet Starling as she fights to save her friends and family during a zombie outbreak at her school.

The movie is being produced by an international team, including Nada Holdings, Joe Teng, Robert Franke, Takafumi Yuki, Kirk Shaw, and Patricio Rabuffetti. According to IGN, the story will explore Juliet's efforts to protect her loved ones, including her boyfriend Nick, in the face of the zombie outbreak.

The original game's developer, Grasshopper Manufacture, is not involved in the film production, and it is unclear if James Gunn or Suda51 will be participating. The movie is a separate project from a new video game and anime series also in development by Dragami Games.
