In 2003, the writer Tsugumi Ohba Illustrator Takeshi Obata created a supernatural manga and mystery called Death Note , in which a young man begins a crusade against the criminals in the world after discovering the hidden power of a notebook. The sleeve continued for 108 chapters and 12 volumes, and its success was such that an anime version for Japanese television and a movie called was created in 2006 Death Note: The Last Name , as well as a spin-off called L Change the World two years later. But the success of Death Note is not over, because last year made its premiere a television series that adapted the manga, and this October 29 debuts in Japan a sequel to the original.
in 2017 come to our screens a little more western version of history, from the hand of director Alan Wingard, that has gained a cult following for his horror films You’re Next and The Guest . His adaptation of Death Note almost materialized some time in Warner Bros. does, however, because the study took too long to get the project ripped, they gave Wingard the opportunity to offer the film elsewhere, which led him to a final agreement with Netflix.
As expected, many fans are quite excited to see this new version, while others show a little skeptical with the treatment that a non-Japanese director could give the original story. Although adaptation of Wigard obviously give a more American overturning the Japanese characters and their environment, the premise will remain the same.
Then we will make a brief account of all you need to know about this new adaptation .
1. History
Unlike previous versions, the production of Netflix is a movie with flesh and blood, not an animated version. Death Note revolves around a young man named Light Yagami who discovers a mystical notebook belonging to a shinigami (a god of Japanese death) named Ryuk has the power to kill anyone after his name is written one of your pages, and from there comes the name of the series.
once Yagami realizes what he has in his hands, begins to formulate a plan that will allow you to rule the world making moral judgments about who he considers criminals. Their actions cause the attention of a mysterious detective named L who will stop at nothing to hunt the young man with hands in the dough. The story is dark, creepy, and is exactly the kind of things that are not surprised to see produced with Netflix, who like to take risks with their programming.
2. The Cast
Producers of Death Note, Roy Lee ( The Ring ) and Dan Lin ( Sherlock Holmes ) gave some statements regarding the concern of some fans about the version “Americanized” of history, and just before the start of the shoot say this:
“Our vision for Death Note has always been to bring this captivating story to the screen both for its long-standing fans and for those who do not know this dark and mysterious masterpiece. Talent and diversity represented in our cast and our production teams and script reflect our belief in keeping honest to the concept of the history of moral relevance, a universal theme that knows no racial boundaries. “
It became Clear? Well, the cast of Death Note is made up of Nat Wolff ( Paper Towns ), Quie will be the main role of Light Turner (instead Light Yagami), while Margaret Qualley ( the Leftovers ) will play Mia Sutton (called Misa Amane in the original).

Additionally, Keith Stanfield ( Straight Outta Compton ) was chosen for the role of the brilliant detective L, who he faces a battle of wits with Light. It was recently confirmed that Willem Dafoe will Ryuk Shinigami voice, and although very similar, imagine that everything will be in CGI.

3. And when we will see it?
The only known until now is that the film will premiere on Netflix digital platform next year. Since late June began filming the principal photography of the film, we imagine that a few months will take work and some post-production special effects, but we should be able to see it on the first or second half of 2017.
with Wingard at the head of the project, Death Note has the potential to become a very tense and exciting psychological thriller, and better adaptation than until now, Hollywood he has offered on the subject, if we consider what happened with films like Dragonball: Evolution and Speed Racer . We still have to wait a while before we know what awaits us, but we hope that no one has to put the name of this film a mystical notebook after its release.
