Title: Death Note Live Action
Post by: Waifu on May 03, 2009, 08:33:57 AM
Did you already here about the American Death Note movie?

I think Lelouch is somehow behind this.

I forget what he does, but hopefully he has enough influence that my telling him not to screw this up will actually help.

And if I'm lucky, I can try pressing him for info on the movie, if possible.

Well, I'll try to see if I can e-mail him for info and such.

Yeah, it seems that Warner Brothers knows what to do (somewhat) when it comes from converting one medium into a movie.

Fox is the one that needs to take the freaking hint.

Still, I'd rather this not be crap, thinking about the fan reaction to the movie.

Well guess what.
Supposedly a REAL script of the movie got leaked.

And guess what?

IT SUCKS ASS!

LOL LIGHT(Luke) WAS TURNED EVIL BY THE DEATH NOTE.

AT THE END HE TURNS GOOD AGAIN, AND TRIES TO REDEEM HIMSELF BY GOING TO LAW SCHOOL.

OH AND THERE'S NO RYUK... nor any Shinigami.

Also, both SHINIGAMI and KIRA are ANCIENT JAPANESE WORDS that you can't even find what they mean on the net.

I hope it's a [tornado fang]ing troll. It better be.

Yes, but it also has that special addition of making their user evil, and make him commit crimes. Well, according to this script at least.

Oh, and there's no "JUST AS PLANNED", nor "I WILL BECOME GOD OF THE NEW WORLD".

Dragon Ball I could forgive, but THIS.

Post by: Bag of Magic Food on October 15, 2009, 01:20:38 PM
Oh yeah, I skimmed through that script once.  It actually did use a lot of the events from the early chapters of the manga.  I can even sympathize with the desire to remove the Shinigami.  Sure they gave the Death Notes a reason to exist and someone for our protagonist to talk to, but they also followed a lot of silly rules that seemed to have been contrived just to make the plot work the way it did.

But what did bother me was that it looked like they were having Luke start using the Death Note out of revenge for the murder of his mother, to try to justify why he would do all that, while I prefer the themes of the original story that power corrupts, and it's the nice, smart people who have the furthest to fall.  It's simply a much juicier story for the guy to become a murderer due to idealism rather than trauma.

Actor Zac Efron (High School Musical, Hairspray, Me and Orson Welles) answered a question from the Collider.com website regarding his possible involvement in a film adaptation of the Death Note suspense manga. Efron said, "I love Death Note, and we were, kind of, working on it right now. You know, it's not…it's definitely not something that would be coming up soon.
