Death Note Gets the Hollywood Treatment !
Via kezins.com
One of the more successful mangas to be turned into an anime series followed by 3 live-action movies and sequels, Death Note will finally be getting the Hollywood treatment ! Death Note, in case you haven’t been following, tells the tale of a college student, Light, who picks up a mysterious note book called the Death Note. The Death Note, as its name implies, lets the owner of the book write a person’s name and with their face in mind, kills them. However there are rules as to how the book can be used and soon Light realizes that he can change the world with the power of the Death Note. The story quickly becomes a very interesting cat and mouse drama with L, a genius, trying to outwit Light to discover his real identity and the secret behind the DeathNote.
So far we have Robotech, Akira and Ghost in the Shell lined up for a Western remake and with Dragonball’s release next year. It’d be interesting to see how these remake will translate into an American market. Death Note will be a very sharp and intense drama if they keep the storyline and script tight. So folks, you can start crossing your fingers.
