| Man, just when I've forgotten about Death Note having a live action movie.. |

Name change is only expected, because an american teenager with japanese surname and weird name would be ridiculous. SuouAoi said: I'm not sure if I want to see this... But my mom wants for sure XD God, please, don't let Zac Effron be Light, please, PLEASE >.< Light Misa |

| It cant be worse than japanese live action. But i hope it will be good, worth watching and maybe it will even make more people interested in anime. melody423 said: Japanese producers of live actions are also horrible even though they are japanese ^_^American producers are horrible at anything anime related....even though i'm American >_> |
| hope it will be better than DRAGON BALL SHIT |

Benj-san said: This is what I've heard about the script: I don't think I like the idea that Light picking up the Death Note is what makes him evil. Isn't it more what he decides to do with it that's evil? Not the book itself. Oh well. I'm going to try and reserve my judgement of this movie until I actually see it. I don't know if I really want to see it but I know I still will. |
| The thing with Death Note is that it actually can work out as a live action film.However,the cast must be good, not saying that it needs to be a goddamn Oscar nomination job but, as I've seen with comics adaptations into the big screen, it needs to be into to the ranks of ''great acting''.And now I just need to wait until the actors are thrown into the den of the lions so I could go ranting or praising (not likely, nada, not happening, zero)it according of what they have done and how they have done it. Totally biased and not giving a flying fck. |
| FUCK...this is actually happening??? I am pretty sure they will change the story a lot...and the names too, obviously... I can only hope they don't ruin Death Note's name :| |
| we will have to see if this will fail or be good either way when i watch it i bet will get furth in it then in the dragonball live action i didn't the even get 5 minutes into it and i knew how bad it was and shut it off |
 |
| It'll be disappointing, but not that bad considering he wants to try and make this work, being a fan of the manga himself (hopefully this isn't just a huge lie). |

I don't know if I really want to see it but I know I still will. well theoretically it could still be how you said. That Light just notices that having that power affects his decisions(not that the book is evil but the power itself corrupts). We all know that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Even in Anime and manga we witnessed how just having that power made Raito degrade further and further as person. What started like a s lightly disgruntled loner sociopath ended as tyrant maniac with a god complex. In a sense having death note is what led Raito to his death. If the movie manages to portray that, I am all good :) |

Benj-san said: This is what I've heard about the script: This better not be true. I don't mind the name change. I don't even mind no Ryuk.(There no way of putting him in live action decently anyway) But the Death note making Light evil?! Sure lets destroy the entire point of death note! Death note is about the dichotomy of good and evil. What is right, what is wrong. But if you just say "He's the villain" then our tale becomes a generic tale of good vs evil. Also "Alright, Jim. We got the rights to make a death note movie. This is a supernatural crime thriller so who should direct it? I know, how about someone who only was involved with cheap B-movie action flicks? Brilliant!" These people are idiots. Well. Now we can't recommend Death note to someone who isn't familiar with anime because they will just think of this film and automatically dismiss it as crap. |

| I hope this will do good unlike Dragonball. |
| first dragon ball - FAIL coming soon bleach and now death note - hoping for the worse I hope they won't suck doing it. sigh |
| Interesting... I think.? I'll probably not watch this since I haven't been a fan of hollywood movies. Though I think that they shouldn't change too much of the stuff from DeathNote. I mean... The original manga storyline/plot development etc is what makes the name DeathNote successful in the first place right? If they change too much of it, it'll just turn out to be another fail adaptation that gets a lot of hate.That said, they'll probably still get people watching this since the name itself would bring in the crowd, be it the curious or the people who just want to hate. Ah well, will see how it goes... |
| the japanese live action films of death note are also horrible. |
| Apparently they're going to be more faithful to the manga. Shane Black is a good writer so hopefully he'll be able to pull it off. Also, all of the info in Benj-san's post is completely fake. Nothing but a silly rumour. B-chan911 said: Oh God, this will be interestingly bad I'm sure XD First a supposed Bleach movie (by Warner Bros. I might add), now a Death Note one...wow... Actually the Death Note movie was announced way before the Bleach movie. leeahseng said: englishman stay away from japan's anime industry Shane Black is American. |

| AT LEAST ITS NOT ZAC EFFRON! |
| As long as they don't stray too far away from the Death Note plot it shouldn't be too bad right? >.> |

| I'm weary about this movie, live-action movies tend to not be very good, but so far it seems like this movie is on the right path, they have a great director and great producers. For now I'm only going to listen to the facts and not rumors, if it doesn't have a reliable source then I'm not going to believe it. Like that "script". If they've just recently hired Shane Black I doubt they have a solid script yet, maybe outlines of a script but definitely not a "this is it" script. I hope everything goes well, and if it doesn't completely follow the manga I hope at least it's an enjoyable movie. Hopeful, but not blindly so. |

| I'm not sure what's worst: The supposed Cowboy Bebop Movie The supposed Bleach movie Or an actual Death Note movie coming out in the next few years. I think I'll just cry myself to sleep now. |
| OMG.... im gonna cry..... |
  |
| I was hoping they had forgotten about making an American Death Note movie..... I don't think this is going to turn out too well ... but I'll wait and see. =/ |
| Dear god, will they never give up? Seriously, movie directors, not everything in the world needs a film adaptation. Eragon, Avatar the Last Airbender... and now Death Note? It's not like they can fit all the awesome plot twists into a mere 2 1/2 hours, so why try? Just leave it in anime/manga format. Most things are better off left that way. |
| I thought I would be a bit annoying and say something that isn't very constructive, such as, I hope this won't turn out to be like the Dragon Ball movie. I joke. To be honest, I'm looking forward to it, whether it does turn out to be good or bad. I'm not expecting any fancy SFX that I was expecting in the Dragon Ball movie or any cinematic fighting sequences (since there is barely any). Not very concerned about whether L's character looks identical to the manga character. All I would love to see in this movie is some sort of psychological, justified, intelligent game between the two main characters. I don't really care so much whether Ryuk is in it or any other shinigamis are in it, or even if L's successors are in it. Just as long as Light and L's characters are portrayed well (mostly personality wise) and they stay loyal to the first part of the manga (From the start till L dies) i'll be happy. |
| If this really is the guy that directed Lethal Weapon, then this movie is going to be great. |

| I like how everyone automatically assumes "THIS WILL BE THE WORST MOVIE EVARRRRR". Give it a chance. If you don't want to, then don't watch it. Sheesh. |
| I hope it'll be as some other people have said. The guys a fan and will do a good job! Will definately check it out :D |
   |
| Ok well I'm going to rant against all the people that are saying this movie si going to be terrible 1) this is a director that likes Death Note and detective stories and proved that he can direct a good movie, he's not just one of the random directors that Hollywood pulled out of their ass that never even heard of Death Note before a week ago, he's going to at least try to not shame the name 2) most of the things that have been adapted would just be hard to do in live action look at dragon ball it a story about a kid (that turns into a monkey) that knows martial arts who's trying to find about of balls that can grant a wish before an evil alien does (did any think that would work in live action). Death Note isn't that hectic it's about a kid that can kill anyone with a book while a detective tries to find him 3) not all adaptions from Hollywood are terrible just look at Dark Knight, Scott Pilgrim, Casino Royal with the right director and writer anything can be great. Ok most of the ones from Japan are pretty bad but there is only a handful of them you can't write them completely off for so few films. And i hate to say it but the Initial D live action wasn't that great. i kind of hope that Zac Efron does get the role and rubs the Disney channel smear off his reputation and proves he can act |

clone4 said: i kind of hope that Zac Efron does get the role and rubs the Disney channel smear off his reputation and proves he can act I actually liked Zac Efron in Charlie St Cloud. I also kind of hope he gets the role of Light because imo he does look the part. To me it just depends on whether he can do the evil laugh or not. XD |

Cashdaxxx said: Where we all fail!Ullus said: All I see is bitching, and bitching, and bitching, just shut the fuck up and don't watch it, easy solution right? WELCOME TO MAL! Besides that, Dragon Ball and Death Note are completely different. Dragon Ball has more fighting while Death Note is just solving cases. So, Death Note is easy to make, considering that there won't be any special effects. |

I'm not going to be happy with it unless he is actually in the movie now. |

Almost nothing is original now. So rather than spending time and effort and money on something original, might as well just spend money (and maybe less time) on adapting something already in existence.

If I'm not mistaken, making a movie with an actual story/plot/development is more difficult than any fighting movie, script and cinematography wise anyway. |
| It was clear that Warner wants to make a Death Note movie. It announced 1 year ago. |
 And that's it. Na-no-ne/De-aru/Relo XD |
| Got rid of all the nonsense.. |
| Shane Black, huh? I really don't know what to say about this since he only did action movies and those are easier than an adaptation. Whatever he will do I just hope that he won't cast Efron as Kira. I don't know why but I can't see him as Kira, actually I can't see him trying to be evil at all. |
