‘Death Note’: American Remake By Vertigo On The Way…
June 16, 2008 by Jennifer Safanova
For all you anime fans out there, there’s a little manga that became an anime, which has now evolved into a 3-part live action film. If you’re hard-core, you probably already know what I’m talking about. You guessed it right, Death Note. For those that do not know, the story revolved on Light, a college student who finds a notebook lying on the ground coined “Death Note”. He “reluctantly” picks it up and that is when havoc ensues…
He basically can write anyone’s name down in the book with his or her face in mind and kill him or her off with the jot of a pen. Later on it becomes a whole moral issue on who he kills, why and a very entertaining cat and mouse game. Think of CSI and Law & Order multiplied by a thousand. It is one of the most exciting intellectual dramas I have encountered and I implore you to check it out!
Now for those that do know about the series and that the live action movie was played in movie theaters world wide, it does not end there. No siree Bob, American movie studio Vertigo is planning to do a remake of the movie and was revealed ever so silently in the production notes in the movie “Shutter and the Strangers”. I would personally love to see Death Note go on and on forever. It is simply that good. I wonder if it will lose its integrity as an American version and if it will still be shot in Japan…
To find more info find out more information on the manga and anime series go to their website! I dare you not to be intrigued. I’ve already converted non-anime fans into fans of this work.
Death Note is the most amazing series I have ever seen. I have never rooted for the “bad guy” as much as I did Light! I am so excited to hear its coming to Vertigo. I can’t wait to be first in line for this EPIC movie.
it could be either really good or really bad.. I’m hoping it’s EPIC like you said
I concur it is just the best not only anime but show of all time!

I haven’t seen this anime yet, but it sounds very interesting and the movie already sounds exciting. Can’t wait for its release.
I woudl rather see a Mexican version starring Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna, lol!
i’m hella againts this american remake, them americans just ruined one miss call, my sassy girl, and a lot more asian movies, i would rather watch shit than this remake, them americans get their own things and dont use japanese industry as your own money maker, i bet they wouldnt even give credit to japanese industry, i want to throw shit at them americans that ruin the asian movie industry.
i’m so happy for all you positive commenters. i’m sure that hopefully they could make the movie interesting. especially because of the whole plot and the story. the’ll beable to understand how to make it excellent, i’m sure of it. hopefully….
