NOOOOOO!!!

No no No No. Godamnit, I hate American movie execs. Leave foreign films alone!

DO IT DO IT DO IT WHAT YOU WAITING FOR DO IT DO IT DO IT the Japaneses live action sucked so hard!!

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEET

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, NOOOOOO!!!!

Gay. Death Note should stay the way it is. :/

What the hell? Why do American movie execs have to disgrace the name of good movies, animes, etc by putting out shitty remakes? It has to be the fact that American movie makers don't have an original bone in their body and couldn't pump out a good movie if their life depended on it. Well, Cloverfield was an amazing original movie. But of late that's the only one. Leave Death Note alone!!! Remember what happened when American movie execs remade Godzilla? It was a giant iguana that did gymnastics. I wonder what is going to be done to kill the awesome images of L, Light, Ryuk. This is a horrible idea.

japanese movie sucked I don't care what anyone says and I believe the americans can do it the live action movies better

I 99.3242% can't see this being done (well). Sad.

No, no one ever be good as guy played L in japan verson.. so don't

Here we go again, another crappy remake in the works.....

"that allows him to summon a murderous demon" ... have you any idea what your talking about? go here http://www.watch-movies.net/s/death_note.html and watch the fucking thing

Part of me screams NOOOO! and another part says it might be interesting. The original is VERY Japanese...so a U.S. remake will be vastly different in tone and characterization, which I'm curious to see. Expect to see the death gods looking much more frightening (instead of googly eyed!) and the deaths a bit more horrific.

Well, fine. If these guys want to once again Americanize a Japanese horror classic, so be it; just as long as they don't ask Will Farrell to play Light!! ;s

I'm a huge fan of Death Note, but if they make this flick PG13, then they better forget it. Plus, I think they should get unknowns for the roles of Light, L, and others. I saw youtube clips of Ryuk and he looks so awesome. They should use those same effect as well.

yeah bd has no idea what the series is about, the ORIGINAL MOVIE WAS PG13

I'm not sure wtf half of you are on. Death note in no way a horror classic it's a suspense/mystery movie that mixes in supernatural elements kind of like the 6th sense or seven it just had some scary elements in it but wasn't considered HORRO... THEY CAN DO RYUK ALOT BETTER IN AMERICA I'm a hard core death note fan especially a Shinigami fan and felt that that Ryku didn't even remotely scare me even. Anyway you want to know why the original movies sucked ass THEY USED AMERICAN MUSIC IN A JAPANESE FILM LIKE IT WAS NORMAL. the only bad thing about this is Shia might be asked to play Raito(it's raito not Light) or L I can seee Shia as Masuda

oh yeah the dumbest part part about the original live actions THEY CHANGED RAITO'S STORY TO REFLECT KIRA X'S: NOT THE ORIGINAL HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT AS IN THE MANGA AND ANIME BUT A LAW STUDENT IN COLLEGE LIKE KIRA X'S

ARGH! No dummy, the show follows Light and is conquest to change the world; he is the protagonist, not L. Don't get me wrong, L is a key character, but he is NOT the focus of the story. Please try to get your facts right ib the future before posting incorrect information. It's rather disgraceful and idiotic of you to post inaccurate news. And ob the personal note, the remake is going to disgrace the original so hard.

One another note (no pun intended), Death Note was never a horror movie/series. If anything, it's a suspense thriller.

the live action actually didnt suck. if u guys werent retarded and actually read the manga and didnt just watch the dubbed version of the film u would find out that it followed very closely to the comic. although there were some spots in the movie that were off it was pretty much the same, like how he got it and they didnt show the ceremony were light first sees L during the highest score ceremony. yes the acting was pretty much terrible but it was a good movie. the american remake is gonna suck first off cus its by vertigo and second it is being writin by the guys who did the strangers which sucked ass anyway. it wasnt even true, they said based on true events when it was based on like 5 separate non related murders. also its gonna suck cus it has fucking zac efron playing light. worst choice imaginable. and his name is light yagami not raito so get that write wat ever douche wrote this article
