| 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. |
 |
| Heh, so who cares? I'm still a DN fan. I want to see this. |
| 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. |

| Seriously, why? And why only from the first THREE volumes? |
| I can't see this coming out well but being a fan of the series I can only hope they don't completely butcher it. |

| *yawn* DN won't be good with american/british actors.. Fail.. WB should just stick to there normal books/novels liike harry potter. *says hi to the "kiddified" Kira and L* x |
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 |

| 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. |

leitao said: Also, DBE (which had a crappy script, wooden acting, and barely recognizable characters) was made by 20th Century Fox, which notoriously sucks and ruins every franchise it gets its horrible little hands on. 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. |
