I am actually more excited about this one than I was the Japanese one while I was reading the manga. I hated the butchering of the storyline. Japanese movie spoilers: L should have died like he was supposed to before Light and added characters were a waste of time. I'm not sure who could play L but dear God let him be British!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Light will probably most definately be an American teenager, but this is to be expected. Unfortuately this is the company that did Dark Water and The Grudge so it might be scarier and have better effects, but it'll probably still suck like the Japanese ones.

Death Note is one of the mangas most compatible with a film adaptation. So it doesn't have the Dragonball kind of "wtf" fears, just the usual "uh-oh who the hell are these writers, this movie will most likely be pretty lame" fears.
Does anyone know if it's just one movie? Because that isn't enough.

After thinking about it, I think there is a good chance that the American version will be better than the original Japanese versions which butchered the storyline like hana said. The main thing I am concerned with is who will fill the roles (such as L's role) and if the story will be written to fit into about 3 movies which could work. I really would like to see a 3rd movie after L's death where Near and Mello have large roles. One thing I definitely prefer is that the movie still take in a place that will fit the setting of the anime/magna.

New York or LA are going to be the prime targets for a setting. LA more so because Death Note(manga/anime) itself actually has been there. However, I'd prefer a less predictable place like Boston or Philidelphia.
However, if they actually do it in Japan, I will be super surprised.

What does everyone here think about Zac Efron playing Kira in the live action Death Note movie? The following link is a joke, but there are some fans of the series out there who actually want this to happen. zacefroniskira.com/

If Zac Efron really DOES play Kira/Light, then the entire Death Note fandom will commit a mass suicide.

I've encountered LiveJournals that are basically partitioning for him to get the role. Either way this could be a serious role for Da Efron, maybe would make him have a serious focus and view. Samething goes for Jesse as well.

I think that one guy from Gossip Girl, whatsisname, looks kinda like time skip Light could.
