Yasha_Hikari said: Fixed.My biggest issue will be casting. Especially for L. That could easily 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. |
| i seem to remember news of this. the japanese one wasn't too bad though. the sequel was okay. but l save the world was just plain...o.O, i wonder if it will be like that. |
| Why Mokona.... Why do You let them to keep making these kind of things!? Pls somebody stop them!!!!! Which Live Action gonna be the next? Lucky Star or Suzumiya?..... The japanese ideas should being only japanese!!! for a strange reason, we can´t make good adaptations of it.... as well they cannot do well adaptation of american ideas.... 4es: Powerpuff Girls Z X___x Really, no more!!!! (Sorry my bad english O.o) |
 |
| 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, Green |

| O-Oh god... o.o |
| sigh 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. |

Alpha_522 said: Just hope zac doesn't screw up Light and give that impression to non-anime watcher -_- Am I missing something here? Or is that Zac dude really playing as Light? |
| Thank God. I mean, ok he might have the looks that fit Light, but the man could never pull off the evil look that Light makes and the evil grin. Lol, just picture him trying. |

Touche^_^ But will WB hoenstly hire a Caucasian actor? They're just gona go for the most famous actors. Hollywood probaly thinks the more famous the actors the better, WRONG..... X |
| First I was excited, and then I read this dtshyk said: The movie will be based on the first three volumes of the thirteen-volume series. lol |

| I really do not get why people are so annoyed over this. Zac efron looks like Light, he could actually be good for the role. The Japanese version wasn't even all that amazing. In America they can get the characters how they should be. If they are only doing the first three volumes they pretty much have to do a second film at least. Misa should have blonde hair and L should be white, like really pale seeing as he is rarely outside and he also lived in an orphanage in England. I don't remember how they did Light but I know it was messed up. Although depending on who they decide to market this to, if Mello is in it, I am very sure they will make him a girl and his real name 'Michelle', 'Michaela' or something just as awful. Whether they mess it up or not I'm going to waste my money on the DVD of it. |

On the other hand, Death Note is being made by the WB, which is an awesome company and is pretty damn good at adaptations. Death Note is definitely in good hands. Ah yes, WB. The guys who allowed Batman & Robin to get made, and the same guys who want to do a sequel to Watchmen. :/ |

| Only the first 3 volumes..? What about the remaining 10 volumes? Are they planning to release a few Death Note films? Otherwise, it will most likely be incomplete. |

It will be a movie about psychopath teenager and we all will be happy if the Death note or Ryuuk is even included. :) |

At least 20th Century Fox knew better than to be involved with Star Wars: The Clone Wars...something else that WB released. |

| OH GAWD SO IT'S TRUE!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! |
| At first I thought making the first three volumes into a movie sounded like a fair amount, but that's way too much. Do they even know what happens in the first three volumes of Death Note? And whats the point in making a movie using those volumes without any word of a sequel? Do the whole thing, or don't do it at all. It'll turn out to be one of those "If it's successful we'll make a sequel" kind of movies. They're only in it for the money. I expect very little from this. |

It'll turn out to be one of those "If it's successful we'll make a sequel" kind of thing. They're only in it for the money. Why!? Why!? Why!? That could work, but so much would have to be cut out. Even if there was a trilogy for the first seven volumes so much would still have to be cut out. At first I thought three volumes per movie sounded fair, and it would be for any other manga I think, but after looking at the first three volumes again I can see it's too much for one movie in Death Note's case. There's too much dialogue, and too much that happens. Take this for example... Spoilers up to volume three. |

DarkBusterCloud said: With a movie adaptation of course a lot is going to be cut out and changed. In my opinion it would be entirely possible to make the movie without those two character's in it. But look at how much development comes from those characters, especially in Light's case. Plus not to mention their deaths are some of the best moments in Death Note. Leaving them out would be absurd. Although I hate to say it's not impossible... Even if they were left out, juding from the animes length the movie would still have to be a good three hours long to be a faithful adaption. Pretty much everything that happens in Death Note is crucial to the story as well, so cutting things out is the last thing you want to be doing. |
