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 Quote I am putting myself to the fullest possible use, which is all I think that any conscious entity can ever hope to do.

Sledgstone 8,672 Report post Posted May 3, 2009 I didn't care for the Live action Death Note movies at all. I thought it had horrible acting the actors didn't look anything like the characters from the anime. Hopefully hollywood will make it better, but I doubt it. Dragonball is the perfect example of a good idea for a movie done horribly wrong. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
