This year has given many surprises and one of them is the upcoming return of Lollipop Chain Saw, which today was confirmed to come true through a remake of the original game. It had been mentioned that he would be in charge of the “original staff”, the truth is that 2 of the main creatives will be absent.
After the formal announcement of the remake of Lollipop Chain Sawmany expected that Goichi “Suda51” Suda and James Gunn would confirm that they were involved in the project, since they were 2 of the key creatives for the original game, since they were in charge of the direction and the script, respectively.

Are Suda51 and James Gunn involved in the remake of Lollipop Chain Saw?
Well, after the announcement of the remake was revealed and one of his followers asked him about it via Twitter, the filmmaker James Gunn confessed that he is not part of the group of original developers in charge of the remake of Lollipop Chain Saw.
However, Gunn clarified that he did know about the project, since weeks ago Suda told him about it, who is also not related to the project.
“Neither Suda51 nor I are involved in this,” the filmmaker commented. “I neither approve nor condemn it! I just didn’t know anything about it. But since the articles have started to put our names out there, I think it’s important to clarify that no one approached us about this.”
Suda, for his part, has not expressed anything about it.
In case you missed it: James Gunn was inspired by Lollipop Chain Saw to make a scene Suicide Squad.

Calm! Don’t lose hope in the remake of Lollipop Chain Saw
After Gunn confirmed the above, some fans became discouraged and said they had lost interest in the project.
However, we remind you that it is a remake, so if the main elements that were liked by the fans and that made it memorable are preserved, especially the characters and the narrative of the game, the absence of Suda51 and James Gunn, since the project would be based on the original work and only aspects of sound and graphics would be improved.
This does not close the door to both participating in the project. Recall that the original development of Lollipop Chain Saw began in 2009 and it was not until 2010 that James Gunn joined to work on the script on the recommendation of Warner Bros., the game’s distributor in the West.
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

James Gunn continues to work with Warner Bros.; on the other hand, Dragami Games was recently founded as part of an agreement with Kadokawa Games and Yoshimi Yasuda, its former president and now CEO of Dragami Games. Grasshopper Manufacture, a studio founded and led by Suda51, continues to work on its own projects, so a collaboration would not be unreasonable.
In addition, it has already been confirmed that developers who participated in the original 2012 game, including Yasuda, will be in charge of the remake, so you should not worry, since they are the people who shaped the original proposal.
