In the entertainment industry lately, live-action versions of popular anime series are raking in significant profits. For instance, films like “Trillion Game” and “Under Ninja” have reached the pinnacle of success in Japan, while North America has been buzzing with productions such as Netflix’s “One Piece” and “Avatar: The Last Airbender.” Given this momentum, it appears to be an opportune moment for more live-action anime projects. However, a major production intended to expand the live-action anime catalog has unexpectedly been halted following a statement from the involved studio.
The live-action adaptation of “Real Account,” initially announced in 2018, has seen little progress regarding the storyline of Ataru Kashiwagi. The original manga was notable for its depiction of a deadly game that surpassed the mortality rate proposed in both Squid Game and Alice in Borderland. In an unexpected announcement, Weekly Shonen Jump, the manga’s publisher, declared that the live-action adaptation had been scrapped due to several unspecified reasons. Here is the official statement from Shueisha:
Concerning the upcoming live-action movie “Real Account,” originally announced in 2018, I regretfully have to inform you that production has been called off due to unforeseen circumstances. We deeply apologize for any inconvenience caused by our prolonged silence and lack of updates. Our heartfelt apologies go out to everyone who had eagerly anticipated the film’s release.
What is Real Account?
If you’re new to the concept of “Real Account”, let me share Kodansha’s take on this captivating series that is now accessible digitally. Essentially, a character named Ataru Kashiwagi, much like others his age, has become hooked on the latest social media platform, Real Account. However, things take a dark turn when Ataru and nearly 10,000 other users are mysteriously transported into the Real Account Zone. Here, they find themselves in a chilling scenario where they’re forced to participate in a series of life-threatening games. The rules are ruthless: if you lose all your followers, you perish in reality, and if you die, your followers meet the same fate. As the demented games claim numerous lives, Ataru must employ his wit and knowledge of Real Account to emerge victorious from each round and escape back to the real world. But when loyalty to true friends could mean life or death, will Ataru be able to survive when his only allies are his online companions?
