Who do you think L should be?

the american versions gonna suck...seriously i can't even picture Death Note not being japanese, and the actors that were casted did an amazing job, they fit the role perfectly....why can't america just come up with there own interesting storyline, insted of remaking others and making the crap...(i don't get my country sometimes)

What American can sit and stand like L throughout the whole movie?! The Death Note movie series has already been completed by the japanese, AMERICANS STOP TRYING SO HARD. Whomever cast as L better own it!! I probably won't be seeing it if Zac Efron is casting as Light anyway. What is the movie based upon? Popularity (Who is the most popular in Hollywood right now?) or character description and action (Who has the best talent to act as the character.

OMG!!! How do u noe?? That would be grosss!!!! my expression was the same like yours when i read this....

zac went to this death note event dressed as light and holding a death note while takin pics of the press. jst google zac efron death note im sure u'll see it

Here's a little update:

Warner brings 'Death' to bigscreen
Studio acquires rights to Japanese manga series
Apr. 30, 2009

Warner Bros. has acquired rights to turn the Japanese manga series "Death Note" into a live-action film.

Studio has hired screenwriters Charley and Vlas Parlapanides to adapt.

Story centers on a college student who accidentally finds a misplaced "death note," infusing him with the power to kill merely by writing anyone's name on the page while picturing the person in his mind.

The 13-volume manga is a bestseller in Japan, and the film will be drawn from the first three installments, written by Tsugumi Ohba and illustrated by Takeshi Obata for Shueisha Inc.

Warner Bros. Pictures Japan made three Japanese-language "Death Note" films. The new pic will be drawn from the manga, not the previous movies.

Vertigo's Roy Lee and Doug Davison will produce with Dan Lin's Lin Pictures and Brian Witten.

The scribes wrote "War of the Gods" for Relativity Media and "Live Bet" for Universal. ends
