The project is helmed by Haro Aso, who certainly is not a stranger to bringing the manga series into reality. Fans have already seen his work in the two successful seasons of Alice in Borderland. Now this film would bring some new experiences for viewers as it is not just any zombie apocalypse. The movie casts Eiji Akaso in the lead role of Akira Tendo, who is trapped in a meaningless routine.
His life takes an unexpected turn when people start turning into mindless zombies. Instead of succumbing to dread, upon this outbreak, the 24-year-old sees it as an opportunity to change his life. He creates a bucket list to do things before he turns into a zombie. Meanwhile, people who are looking for an authentic experience could stream Zombieverse.
