Reply to comment by AliceTheMagicQueen in Junji Ito’s Horror Manga ‘Bloodsucking Darkness’ Getting Live-Action Adaptation (EXCLUSIVE) by Old_Faithlessness588

If it ever comes out. Wasn't it supposed to be out in 2020, then it got delayed because of Covid? Then they released a few seconds of a teaser, and now haven't said anything about it in years. I'm really looking forward to it, but they've been awfully quiet about it for a while now.

That’s what I came in here to ask. Where the hell is Uzumaki?!

I was honestly hoping someone would chime in and correct me with more information I was unaware of.

I'm a huge fan of Junji Ito's work, but from everything I've seen there hasn't been a good adaptation of anything of his yet. Uzumaki looks like it's doing everything right, from the art direction to the music. I cannot wait for it to come out, but I have to basically put it out of my mind because it was supposed to come out years ago, and it has been years (as far as I know) since they've said ANYTHING about the project.

The studio behind it said they delayed it again and won't say a release date until they're confident enough. Apparently it's still supposed to come this year tho

Getting massive Zelda vibes from this release date situation. Hoping that means they want it to be extra great instead of just consistent lingering production woes.
