Warner Bros. set to Bring Death Note to the Big Screen
Via Variety
Warner Bros. recently acquired the rights to bring the anime/manga hit Death Note to the big screen. Screenwriters Charley and Vlas Parlapanides will be adapting the movie. Death Note follows the story of a college student who stumbles upon a mysterious notebook which allows the person wielding it to kill anyone merely by writing its name with the person’s face in mind. Warner Bros. Picture Japan previously produced 2 movies from the manga series and a spinoff of one of the main characters of the series “L”.
Death Note will certainly be an interesting adaptation. To many, its the battle of wits between the two main characters rather than the supernatural element of the story which draws in the fans. There’s no word on the casting of the leading roles but its sure gonna be hard finding an American actor who would fit L’s profile
