A live-action Lollipop Chainsaw<\/u><\/a> movie is officially in the works, developer Dragami Games has announced.<\/p>\n

The studio behind the series revival announced plans to bring Juliet Starling to the big screen as part of Tokyo Game Show 2026, with full details shared by Deadline<\/u><\/a>. It’s yet another addition to the series as Dragami moves ahead with other previously announced installments, including an anime series<\/u><\/a> and video game sequel<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Lollipop Chainsaw movie will tell a prequel story set before the events of developer Grasshopper Manufacture’s original bubblegum action game. It’s also aimed to be an “R-rated action comedy” and will, once again, follow Juliet as the main character. Deadline also shared a brief story synopsis: “When a catastrophic zombie outbreak engulfs her school, Juliet must fight her way through the undead to save her friends, protect her family, and somehow keep her boyfriend Nick close \u2013 even if doing so ultimately requires some highly unconventional arrangements.”<\/p>\n

Dragami’s film is said to be in development from an “international creative and production team” that includes Nada Holdings’ Joe Teng, former ZDF Studios drama boss Robert Franke, Throne Inc MD Takafumi Yuki, Ambitious Entertainment’s Kirk Shaw, and Non Stop TV’s Patricio Rabuffetti. There is no word on whether original team members like Suda51 or now-DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn are involved, suggesting that, at least at this stage, they aren’t attached in any capacity.<\/p>\n

“We are truly excited to see our vision take another important step with the franchise\u2019s first live-action feature film,” Dragami president Shohei Sato said. “We are especially pleased to be working with such an experienced and passionate international team \u2014 one that understands what makes Lollipop Chainsaw special while embracing the opportunity to create something new.”<\/p>\n

Lollipop Chainsaw has been on a bit of a tear despite largely straying from the public eye for the last decade or so. Although it’s firmly kept its place as a cult classic and fan-favorite Suda51 game, it wasn’t until Dragami announced<\/u><\/a> its RePop remaster<\/u><\/a> in 2022 that Juliet started to turn heads once again. Whether an attempt to reanimate the franchise will succeed remains to be seen, though.<\/p>\n
