Lollipop Chainsaw is the ‘un-deadly’ story of sweet and killer
zombie-hunter Juliet Starling and her quest to uncover the root of a colossal
zombie outbreak. With her wickedly awesome chainsaw in hand, Juliet slices,
dices and splits her way through hordes of the undead, but soon realizes the
horde is only the opening act to a festival of zombie rock lords determined to
kill the chainsaw-wielding cheerleader.
Lollipop Chainsaw is being developed by GRASSHOPPER MANUFACTURE, led by
celebrated game developer Goichi Suda (aka SUDA 51) and featuring the musical
compositions of the renowned Akira Yamaoka. In addition, Hollywood director and
writer James Gunn (Super, Slither, Dawn of the Dead, Tromeo and Juliet) has
brought his cult humor and edgy storytelling to Lollipop
Chainsaw’s script.
