Is Netflix Actually Making A Live-Action Berserk?

According to a report about the incident by the blog What's On Netflix, the source of the live-action "Berserk" movie rumor was a fan's Instagram mock-up of what a poster for such a film might look like. They included in their mock-up a Netflix logo, presumably to give the fake movie poster the veneer of officiality. The poster was never intended to be present the idea of a Netflix "Berserk" movie as a reality, however. Included in the caption that accompanied the photo was an outright confirmation that the post was "a joke." That said, that same fan shared their mock-up to Twitter without that all-important qualifier. Though they linked to their Instagram post including the disclaimer that the poster is indeed unofficial, replies to the widely shared tweet seem to indicate that at least some of those who saw it thought it to be genuine.

So, in short, Netflix is not producing a live-action "Berserk" movie. That said, the fact that a fan-made movie poster could spur widespread interest does indicate that a sizable audience exists for such a project. While this is far from a confirmation that "Berserk" will one day be adapted in live action, it's nevertheless proof that it remains something at least some fans would like to see.
