In a recently released behind the scenes video of Lollipop Chainsaw, creative director Suda 51 and writer James Gunn discuss the origins of the concept behind Lollipop Chainsaw. It seems the idea came to Suda during a zombie death fantasy where rainbows shot out of a zombie rather than blood; if only I could use one of my crazy ideas as a springboard for an entire game.
Juliet’s origins stemmed from Shakespeare’s own Romeo and Juliet, but you know, more boobs and stuff. In the place of Romeo is Juliet’s (Lollipop’s Juliet) boyfriend Nick. There won’t be any families or anything like that keeping the two love-birds apart, just zombies and Nick’s lack of a body below his severed neck.
I don’t expect Lollipop to be the Citizen Kane of videogames but I’m really looking forward to it. Gunn wrote movies such as Super, Slither and the screenplay for the Dawn of the Dead remake–all films I enjoy. I’m betting Lollipop will be more than panty shots and gore with his involvement. I expect some good humor abound.
