PROJECT DETAILS
- Director Shane Black was quoted saying: "What we want to do is take it back to that manga, and make it closer to what is so complex and truthful about the spirituality of the story, versus taking the concept and trying to copy it as an American thriller."
- Director Shane Black started out as a writer, working on films like the Leathal Weapon series and even co-scripting The Monster Squad in the late 80's.
- Charley and Vlas Parlapanides were replaced by Anthony Bagarozzi and Charles Mondry, most likely due to the script leak.
- A first draft of the script by Charley and Vlas Parlapanides was apparently leaked online in the Fall of 2009, which may or may not have resulted the project being put on hold for further rewrites.
- Writers Charley and Vlas Parlapanides were originally hired to adapt the project.
- Zac Efron (High School Musical, 17 Again) has reportedly had meetings with the producers with the possibility of having a lead role in the film.
- Vertigo's Roy Lee and Doug Davison (The Strangers, The Uninvited) will produce with Dan Lin's Lin Pictures and Brian Witten.
- Warner Bros. is behind this.
- It's said that the film will not be based on either the popular Anime or the Japanese live-action movies, and will draw more specifically from the first three installments of the manga.
- This is a US adaptation of the original 13-volume Japanese manga series.

HELLLLLLSSSSS YES, I FREIKEN LOVE DEATH NOTE!!!!
i love L
I really hope they put the chip eating scene. where light gos i will take a chip AND EAT IT! he said as if it was the most epic thing in the world. if nothing put in to make people laugh.
sorry to say but , there is already another live action of death note, and i wouldnt recommend americans making it, to me they failed in Dragonball evolution, street fighter-chun li, tekken, king of fighters, and other crappy horror movie remakes from asia. if they make death note it would just be a waste of money when there is the japanese version, same goes for naruto if they make that look bad i will stop watching american movies haha, so they shouldnt make movies from manga or japan based ideas
I'm sorry but i cant see Zac Efron as Light or L. Can any of you?
I love the amine thou and cant wait to see the movie.as long as Zac Efron not in it.it should be a good movie.
death note is the awesomest anime ever! If they ruin this with putting faggy ass disney stars in it and making it like twilight i will destroy the makers. If they do this they better do it right.....oh and l better be hot.
Death note FTW
Put Zac Efron in this and there will be millions of Death Note fans gathering their pitch forks and going on a Zefron hunt. LOL.
I don't want them to do an american remake. The live action ones that are out are pretty damn good already and the anime is amazing. Please don't let this happen:(.
hmms... i think i'd like to zac efron in death note
not cause im a fan (GOD NO)
but because even if he does good he will lose fans and we will get to watch him die..
always think positive in negative situations like this lol
If they f up this amazing anime, I will go postal. Zac Efron? Really?!?! Bet they would try and put him as Light... I don't even what to know who they would put as Misa or L. Ugh...
oh dear oh dear oh dear. This will not end well.
WTF!? Why!? The original Japanese live action films were INCREDIBLE! Some of my favourite films actually. How could they go and fuck it up like this? I have really nothing to say, except this will be bad...Clue? Zac Efron...WHY!?
Ok, let me get this straight: "It's said that the film will not be based on either the popular Anime or the Japanese live-action movies," yet its going to be basically the very SAME premise of the anime and movies! So other than the location and characters being Americans, there won't be much diffencet.
This is fucking UNBELIEVABLE! So rehashing old movies isn't pissing off people and proving that Hollywood is dying a slow and painful death, its going to take foreign films and fuck them up as well. Didn't THE EYE and BANGKOK DANGEROUS, prove that watering down foreign films--that are great as is--DON'T FUCKING WORK!?!?
Fuck Hollywood, I'm reading books again.
Basically, but keep in mind they're all based on the same source so
Another great anime and foreign movie we're gonna butcher up. What ever happened to originality?
