However, Rueili Robinson did not make a film after all, and then the project turned over. The $ 90 million (approx. 10 billion yen) project was under way, and was directed by Albert Hughes of 'The Walker' and Garrett Hedland of 'Tron Legacy'. Production was discontinued.

Later, 'Mighty So Battle Royal' coach Taika Waitity joined the project. In 2017, they expressed their desire to appoint Asian actors.

It is still unclear whether Asian actors will play the role played by Kanada in the end. The shooting will take place in California. It needs to be taken by October 2019 to receive state tax credits.

In addition, it is still unclear whether publication in Japan is May 21 2021, which is simultaneous with the United States.
