| 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. |

WB should just stick to there normal books/novels liike harry potter. *says hi to the "kiddified" Kira and L* x Actually, it would work with Caucasian actors. Whoever said L was Japanese? 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. |
DarkBusterCloud said: Eh if anyone is left out it should be But that's the first time Light actually gets into a bit of trouble and also the first time were his intellect can't really save him. That whole scene displays how devious Light's character is. Still crucial to the series in my opinion. I also think two hours is way too short for Death Note. I just hope the screen writers know what they're doing. I've never heard of them, and they've never been involved in any big, successful productions before. |

Fai said: Hillary Duff-alike?Let the flames begin =D |
| Well, I'm a little bit curious about this movie. The funny thing is that even the Japanese version of the Death Note movie, wasn't even that great. Lets see how this goes....You never know, it just might be a good movie. lol |

| EPIC FAIL, i just know it they are going to ruin it.... after DBE i hate hollywood..... (praying that they will never make a live-action Gundam movie T_T) |

| In all fairness, this would probably turn out much better than previous anime adaptions, at least visually. What I mean is that, aside from the Shikigami, the characters are all human (and the death gods could be adapted and still maintain the creepiness), and there really aren't any special effects (no green men, cartoony-cars). The plot is also fairly straightforward, in that it is actually one that could have been used in an original live action movie (no dragonball silliness). It could turn out well, in my opinion. Key word being *could*. |
