This is hollywood so lets hope it doesnt turn out like the japanese version. With a guy like Zack Efron you cant fail ya no.


Iron Man 3 director Shane Black confirmed in an interview with Bleeding Cool that he is still involved in Warner Brothers' planned live-action film adaptation of Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata's manga Death Note.

Black (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang; writer of the Lethal Weapon film series) did not provide progress details on the project, instead stating that the next three months will be dedicated to writing the live-action Doc Savage comic book adaptation with Chuck Mondry and Anthony Baggarozzi (both are also attached to Death Note.) Black's last update was at his Long Beach Comic Con panel in 2011. At the time, he stated Ryuk was added back into the script and "the creation of a villain, the downward spiral" of the main character Light was the film's focus.

Warner Bros. had acquired the rights to the series from previous rights-owner Vertigo Entertainment in 2009. At the time, screenwriter brothers Vlas and Charles Parlapanides were attached to the project.

Thanks to Xenos for the news tip.

lol thats b/c you can't turn 75 episodes into a movie. with death note they prob take the first part where L dies and turn it into a movie and forget the 2nd part. So Kira wins in this one >:]. Hopefully they get that batman guy to play kira's father too looks just like him.

i kinda liked the JLA personally
seemed like splitting it up into parts to make it like 8 hours or something really got the story told
ild be afraid hollywood will try and turn it into an 90 minute fly-by directed by some producer's step-son
