another live action................................ why oh why
its bad enough holliwood is remaking classic movies now they have run out of ideas they need to read some books somthing less mainstream perhaps X.x! there are thousands and thousands that could be made into a movie
And most of those ideas suck, but this one is popular, like Dragon Ball, so of course it'll be milked.

guys guys, don't judge it before it comes out

Personally I'm pretty excited. I can't wait to see who they announce for the actors.

If it turns out to be horrible then whatever. That's not really going to change my opinion on Death Note. Why would it...but right now I'm all for the live action.

Along with Bebop, I have some faith in it, especially if they get Zac, it isn't like Light isn't a teen heart throb already, I mean really think about it.

Light will be played by a pretty boy and probably be in high school, just like the manga

Misa will be a ditzy blond just like in the manga

L won't be Japanese just like in the manga

I think it might fit better as an American movie than Japanese and I love the two Japanese movies(and L Changed the WorLd was good)

Being an amateur movie critic before getting into anime, I'm actually fairly excited. WB is a pretty good studio.
Honestly, I HOPE they take some liberties to make the movie work. Just please oh please... DON'T FUCKING OVERACT!!!!! I absolutely HATED the japanese live action because of that.

You know the well of imagination is dry in Hollywood if they have to resort to adaptations of foreign fictions. And after DBE, we don't need Death Note royally fucked up the ass. (But I hope they at least have better Ryuk CGI.)

Oh sweet bejesus... How many movies are they planning? If they're actually going to do through with this, it should be a trilogy.

and lol at people complaining about it being live action, like it hasn't already been done before.

If it's even half as awesome as the first two live action Death Note films from director Shusuke Kaneko, then I'd consider that a victory for anime fans.

...I don't like where this is going. I'm quite apathetic to the idea of an American remake, but why would they only base it off the first three volumes? There better be more movies after the first one.

My biggest issue will be casting. Especially for L. That could easily make or break this movie.

Not too excited to hear this. America has to seriously stop making live action movies of anime series.

The Japanese films are a sign of how Death Note translated into live action. It worked for them and in general doesn't seem like a difficult job really, compared to most shounen series focusing on action.

The US version, I'm wary but as long as they choose the right casting and leave things the way it is, I'll look forward to it. The odds of that is, well low IMO.

Lol... and now it's Death Note's L and Kira turn to be bashed!!! Seriously I dunno what I can expect from this news... I'm not that happy, nor displeased... I just hope they do Death Note live to its reputation... Do a great, if not, a good movie adaptation of the the those first great volumes... Why the first three... Well if you think about it, in those is where most of the plot developes... and the rest is just the conclusion of everything that triggered the first volume... Well I'll wait for the cast...

Lol I do support Zac Effron as Kira!! GO ZAC! Xd

Signs,

No.

Please, NO.

No one asked for Death Note to be ruined.

Actually, with Efron in it it won't even be Death Note. It'll be MUSICAL NOTE, as in a notebook that produces music, and whoever's name is written in the Musical Note will be forced to sing an HSM song. DDx

I thought DBE was a lesson for all movie producers?

And if they really do go through with this, they better not mess up L. That will be the only reason I will be watching the movie.
