Last Action Hero for the Sega Mega CD is a cancelled game adaptation of the Arnold Schwarzenegger film of the same name, developed by Bits Studios to be published by Sony Imagesoft. The NES, Super NES, Mega Drive/Genesis, Game Boy and Sega Game Gear versions were released, but they all look different from the Mega CD version, that used pre-rendered characters and background, as in the Bram Stoker’s Dracula CD game. A Sega Master System version was also developed, but never released.

Bits Studio was attached to Psygnosis so the game has been developped in England.
I’ve found a release date: 11/30/93
I think the game has been cancelled because of Arnold Schwarzenegger. It was a fighting game but he did’nt want any violence in the game. Hmmm, let me imagine the result… So, I guess the gameplay has suffered of that and Sony probably didn’t want to release a bad game.
Here is a scan of a french magazine (Megaforce):
