Hollywood adaptation of Death Note confirmed, MW live action

[Wildcard]

Seriously, Zac Efron and Miley Cyrus. Doesn't anyone see this as a incredibly bad casting? Do we really want chipper, all singing, all dancing Disney puppets? I just hope they can set the mood right, although so far all i can see is dancing and singing. Guess i'll just have to wait and see.

Just wait, they'll turn it into a family musical.

I don't know who Zac Efron is but from the pic he does look like Light. I am, however, unfortunately aware of Hannah Montanna. Please let this be a very bad joke

 

[TRASHBAT]

I'm somewhat...excited about this :?

 

[Will-O'-The-Wisp]

Miley Cyrus as Misa? Looks like my 8 year old sister'll start watching Death Note -_-. Last thing we need is a bloody hill-billy destroying her character.

 

[Lupus]

but I'm assuming that the movies' going to be terrible anyway.

But it'll probably be better than the Japanese one!

Also, Misa doesn't even have a character, she's the token fanservice chick.

*waits for live actions of bleach,naruto and one piece and i will be happy

first dragon ball, then akira and GiTs now death note, the next 10 years will be hopefully great

I admire your optimism, or sarcasm, which ever you were going for there lol.

She can, But not really.. On a side note, Her last video for the M&M CRU "Biggest Online Dance Battle in the History of Man Kind" is made of all types of awesome. She would never, ever get picked for it, anyway. ;/ I don't think casting is actually all that important to the story, as long as they can act convincingly, its good.

Another live action adaptation of <strong><em>Death Note</em></strong> is in the works, but this time, <a href="http://www.animenation.net/blog/2008/06/03/american-death-note-movie-in-development/">it's a Hollywood-based project</a>. The rights have been snapped up by movie producers Vertigo Entertainment, famous for their involvement in the many US adaptations of Asian horror movies (including the popular remakes of the <em>Grudge </em>and the <em>Departed </em>(a remake of <em>Infernal Affairs</em>)). The two names attached to the project so far are writers Vlas and Charles Parlapanides, neither of which have much experience.

not another stupid Hollywood "adaption"! Why God Why?

 

[ConanThe3rd]

I just wonder how much of Mw could be kept for an adapation. I meen, beyond eveything else, a guy gets sexualy mutalated for goodness sake.

Tezuka must of been in the bar with Tomino the night he wrote Mw.

 

[CitizenGeek]

a guy gets sexualy mutalated for goodness sake.

When does that happen? :s

 

[awadama]

Is everyone just playing along or are people really dense enough to believe Zac and Miley are actually in the movie? -_-

 

[Ammish]

I could see Zac playing Light, but not Miley.

We could always have Linsey Lohan... In that case, we'll stick with Miley

What really annoyed me in the Japanese version was that they made Light have a girlfriend~ major 'what on earth?' moment there. Light was supposed to be this solitary figure, only relying on himself, but throwing a girlfriend in there baffled me. Total filler

That put me off the idea of watching the film. I mean... wth. Light crying for her ...

Seriously, pretending or real, Light would've laughed. And he didn't... -_-

 

[Kezwick_Osaka]

Confirmed by my mind for

Matsuda

Soichiro Yagami

 

[Voddas]

lol... k

Or even......

As Ryuk

 

[Kezwick_Osaka]

lol... k

Or even......

As Ryuk

I could see that.

Lol, our own fan-version would be more interesting than the official at this rate. :lol:

I'd certainly see it.

 

[Voddas]

Only problem would be getting Manson to eat something as healthy as apples. :roll:

 

[Kezwick_Osaka]

We could always insert something into them I suppose.
