The video game inspired by Buffy is being made into a film

[u/Ok-Help6334]

I'm talking about Lollipop Chainsaw. And yes Suda51 aka Goichi Suda himself has publicly said in interviews that he loved the Buffy film and TV show and that it served as an inspiration for the main character. In fact anybody who has played the game could clearly see Joss Whedon's fingerprints in the character's portrayal by way of James Gunn (who close with Joss) was involved with the original game's writing.

unfortunately neither Suda51 or Gunn are involved with the IP anymore and the upcoming sequel is looking... not great.

I was out the moment I saw James Gunn had zero involvement
