Hollywood studio Warner Brothers has obtained the rights to produce a live-action movie adaptation of supernatural suspense manga Death Note, it has been revealed.
The adaptation is due to be based on the manga, as opposed to any of the other titles in the franchise, and is apparently still in the very early stages of production.
Warner Brothers has brought in big-name heavyweight screenwriters Charley and Vlas Parlapanides to create the screenplay, so the script may be something special indeed; they may be known to Hollywood followers from such blockbusters as “War of the Gods” and “Live Bet”.
Via GetNews.
With the manga having already been adapted into an anime and a series of Japanese live action adaptations, it seems Warner Brothers is on well trodden ground.
Whether they opt to faithfully adapt the original or simply hijack its brand identity should be interesting to behold…

Fuck yes, L damn well better be played by Samuel L. Jackson.
It's funny cus Sam L Jackson is in every godamn film on the planet
Samuel L. Jackson is Nick Fury in Ironman, so I wouldn't be surprised if he played L~
hollywood needs to GTFO this sh*t. they have proven time and time again that they DO NOT UNDERSTAND anime and only succeed in bastardizing much beloved franchises for a quick buck... and the thing is I WISH i had the resolve not to go see these pieces of sh*t but my morbid curiosity will always get the better of me and i will end up in some small way supporting and propagating these atrocities and succumb. gah.
Atleast they'll be able to kick disney's ass
Wonder if Zac Efron will be Kira.
(Only actor I know that looks like him)
I LOL hard on the OP picture.
There are really milking the series.
wonders if Jim Carrey is suited to play as Kira opposing Samuel L. Jackson /hmm
This is like the dub only like a billion times worse.
Im gonna enjoy this, hehe...
The OP picture tells me that Artefact himself wants to see Samuel L. Jackson play as L
is that samuel "L." jackson?
haaha
Pretty sure Light is going to by played by Zac Efron.
hopefully the movie ends at Light killing L. that's where the manga and anime should have ended.
nah, watching the god complex ass hole shivers in fear and runs for his life is much better :P
PLEASE tell me Zac Efrom will play Light. IT WILL BE EPIC LULZ!
Death Note Musical. 8D
This movie is going to be so bad.
another candidate of fail like dragon ball evolution.
bwahahahahahahah XD
at least dragon ball evolution was better than its source material (it's like comparing a piece of crap to a really really stinky piece of crap)
what the fucking shit?
Nope id expect Warner Bros to fuck the story up the ass so hard nothing will make sense lol.
But, but... there are already live-action movies...
*grabs a pen*
*pulls out death note*
*writes*
"The Hollywood Blockbuster"
We have to send the image over to Warner Brothers. I know it's old and they might have seen it, but Samuel 'L' jackson would rake in the big bucks.
hey if you're going to mess up a movie, do it right :D
I'm hoping its good. along with the CB movie of course....hollywood's failures are blown out of proportion compared to their successful films
IS IT TRUE THAT THE ONE WHO WILL PORTRAY KIRA IS ZAC EFRON? -_- EWW. SORRY FOR ZAC FANS BUT HE'S NOT LIKE KIRA AT ALL -_- HE BETTER STAY ON HSM ___ GRR AND MY L WILL BE PLAYED BY A WOMAN? WTF -_- GRR
Fail.
Death Note will be now known as gay Twilight.
Please DO NOT ever compare DEATH NOTE to twilight...
-.- there gonna make it look like crap like they did with dragonballz and other animes
hope this doesnt becomes another dragon ball ... who am i kiding it will -w-
enough is enough iv'e had it with theses mother fucking death notes on this mother fucking plane.
shit bitch im always yelling im Samual "L" Mother fucken Jackson
fuck
L es negro y punto
oh my god
I am L, mothafucka!
Studying by way of your good content material, will help me to do so at times.

This better be good. Either way, Samuel Jackson will rock hard in this, as he did in Pulp Fiction and many other past movies.
One thing that would help at teh very least with this, they cast Drummond as Ryuk again like he did in the dub.
Just as planned... ¬ ¬
First it was Dragonball Evolution, then Avatar: The Last a=Airbender, now they also want to ruin Death Note?!?! Damn Hollywood.
Stop raping anime, Hollywood!!
im willing to bet there will be zero asian casts (especially as the lead) in this movie..and the excuse will be "its an adaptation" i HATE hollywood..always whitewashing..
ROFLCOPTER @ 1st pic
i would love to be IN th enew movie, if tis good.
Micheal Caine should totally play Watari! You gotta agree with me!
As well as they should put Zak Efron as Light. After watching 17 again, he did not sing once in that movie. So I think I trust him not to break out in song. >.<
I will laugh so hard if they put samuel Jackson as L! "I'm tired of these mother fucking Kiras in this mother fucking world!"
this is bad, they will crew it up! just look at Dragon Ball Evolution! this has to stop!
Nice Pic! It's Avatar Material! XD
*right-click* *save picture*
Well firstly i do not care who plays Light unlike others i am extremely hesitant as to who is going to play my favorite character of all time "L"... If they don't get L right i think i am going to be dissapointed and will not want to see the movie at all.. O_o will they find somebody who resembles L as the live-action japanese movies?... well i am looking forward to this mwuahha :P <3333
wait, how would the English adaptation work? I mean for starters, they wouldn't call Light "Kira" since Kira came from the Engrish pronunciation of "killer".
Fuck Hollywood.
I was about to write that, but a text search brought me to you. Anyway FUCK HOLLYWOOD.
Fuck Hollywood.
Fuck me?
Fuck you.
Fuck Hollywood.
