Lollipop Chainsaw

Is an upcoming action Video game being developed by Grasshopper Manufactuer for the PS3 and XBOX360, video game consoles. It focuses on Juliet Starling, a cheerleader  fighting zombies in a fictional Calafornia high school. Grasshopper CEO Suda 51 will serve as creative director for the game.

Lollipop Chainsaw focuses on zombie hunter and cheerleader Juliet Starling (voiced by Tara Strong) who, along with members of her family and her boyfriend, a disembodied head, fight hordes of zombies in San Romero High School, where Starling formerly cheered. The enemy zombies are led by "a group of zombie rock and roll lords". The zombie outbreak has been caused by Juliet's former classmate, an evil goth sorcerer named Swan.

It has not been officially stated what type of game Lollipop Chainsaw is, but it appears to be a hack and slash akin to Suda's No More Heros games. In the game, Juliet's main weapon will be her chainsaw, but she will also be able to use her acrobatic skills to kill zombies. When the player completes certain tasks in the game, Juliet's chainsaw will be upgraded. Suda has also said that part of the gameplay "might involve sound".

Before its announcement in July 2011 Lollipop Chainsaw was first mentioned as an unnamed game featuring "stylish action" in an October 2010 article on 1up.com detailing Kadokawa Shoten's partnership with Grasshopper and Prope. Suda described it as featuring "really extreme twists" and being very funny. He optimistically declared that he thinks the game will be "a really big title in the worldwide market.
It is also reported that Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment will publish the game outside of Japan and that filmmaker James Gunn has a hand in developing the game's story and characters. Gunn has said that many of the people he works with in his films and other projects are also working on Lollipop Chainsaw.
On Wednesday, February 1st, 2012, it was announced that James Euringer also known as Jimmy Urine from the electro-punk band Mindless Self Indulgence would be composing the music for the boss segments. He will also provide the voice for Zed, a punk-rock themed boss.
