Guardians of the Galaxy director and Lollipop Chainsaw writer James Gunn is not involved with the newly announced remake of the cult-classic video game. The acclaimed director is largely known for his work with Marvel and DC, but prior to that, he wrote Zack Snyder’s Dawn of the Dead remake, the two live-action Scooby-Doo films, and directed some low-budget movies like Super. He also took a stab at writing a video game, particularly Suda51’s Lollipop Chainsaw. The game was a whacky, colorful hack and slasher that followed a high school cheerleader around as she killed zombies in California. It leaned into a lot of the stereotypes of a “valley girl” while making the game fun and absurd, but it only received average reviews and began to fade away as it became hard to acquire due to the game being delisted from digital storefronts.
I neither endorse nor condemn it! I simply don’t know anything about it. But as articles are starting to slap our names on there, I think it’s important to make clear no one ever approached us about it. https://t.co/yPOT76AeWp
