Ishida's Tokyo Ghoul series including its 14-volume original series has reportedly printed 18 million copies in Japan. Soon after the announcement of the manga's live-action film adaptation project, he said on his official Twitter that adaptations of his works, including anime, are basically things that are not necessary need to be made and he has not been particularly interested in a live-action film. But the actor who is cast as the protagonist is the one he had wanted to play the character since four or five years ago when he started the serialization of the manga.

Ishida has supervised the screenplay and joined the audition for some other cast. According to him, the

main cast of the film will be revealed soon and they are "fantastic actors."
