In March 2018, Amazon was rumored to be negotiating for the rights to the project.[6][7] However, Youzu Pictures released a statement in response stating that it was the "sole owner of the rights for film and TV series adaptations." Although it "was originally scheduled to be released in 2017", the project "was postponed indefinitely due to the company's internal shuffling and the rumored 'bad quality' of the film's first cut."[7]
