Exclamation DEATH NOTE

YES!!! A "Live-Action" action Movie of the very popular Anime series with none other than one of my favorite actors ever, playing RYUK: Willem Dafoe!

NETFLIX continues it's incredible "original programming domination" of television.

Quote:
A student who discovers a supernatural notebook that allows him to kill anyone begins a crusade against evil in order to rule the world as a benevolent human god. Then a deadly game of cat and mouse begins when a reclusive detective begins to track down the young man, attempting to end his reign of terror once and for all.

I'm cautiously optimistic. Interested to see if Netflix can do the series justice.

This particular story I believe will translate well on film and live action. It is mostly High School after all.

True that and it's going to be a series rather than a movie so they probably won't try to shoehorn 37+ episodes worth of content into a 2 hour movie.

Wow...

Between this, and Ghost in the Shell, I am interested to see what could be done with Ninja Scroll or Akira.

100% Agreed!

I'm sure if Ghost in the Shell does well at the box office, those two movies will be remade for live action as well.

Looking forward to giving Death Note a shot. My girlfriend mentioned she liked that one when she watched it uears ago, though I never tried it myself.

Thumbs up

Finally watched this. Very entertaining IMO! If you appreciate the anime, you will definitely enjoy! But even if not, it's worth a watch.

Saw it the other day. Entertaining for sure. What I noticed though is the need for movies to turn every major character into a white person. Why is that?

Doctor Strange - the Ancient One was supposed to be Asian
The Great Wall - wtf was a white dude doing there?
Birth of the Dragon (Bruce Lee) - focuses mainly on a white dude
Ghost in the Shell - should have casted an Asian actress. I mean, they tried to make Scarlett look more Asian. Might as wel have casted one.

I saw this couple days ago. It wasn't bad.

Lights scream had me rolling.
Lakeith Stanfield did a great job portraying L. His posture and mannerisms were spot on. Willem Dafoe freakin nailed it with the voice acting for Ryuk.

After seeing dragon ball evolution and ghost in the shell, I'll pass. Anime to movie adaptations have not really done well.

The Rurouni Kenshin adaptation was probably the only exception.

Ahhh yes.... The infamous "White-Washing" by Hollywood.

Sometimes I actually think some of the decision makers (for films) honestly believe that only whites watch movies/films? *sigh*
This NOT meant to be a "racial discussion", simply an observation with regard to actor selection and portrayals of certain characters which the original story clearly did not intend.

Still quite entertaining IMO:

Dafoe is a perfect match to be the demon no makeup needed just some hair styling.
