What are you talking about? Americans are the biggest film makers in the world.

Above all, Death Note is a manga and anime, something that has a huge fanbase in the US. My friends, who are fans of Death Note, did not 100% like the movies because of nitpicky things like character descriptions gone wrong. The target audience is not dorama fans, it is the fans of the manga and anime Death Note, who I believe will support an American remake like they support an English dub.

I don't understand why must they remake it...
I never like remakes....for movies at least...
I don't really care who copies who but I just don't like remakes..
Something original would be WAAAYYYY better.

I don't like when people make bad versions of anime or manga that I like so I worry about things like Ghost in the Shell. In this case the Japanese already made a movie that was mediocre at best so I don't really care. The manga was good but if people are comparing this to the movies then there isn't much to live up to. The Japanese movie version looked and felt like a cheap American tv drama. They were way off with Kira and the CGI made me feel like I might as well just watch the anime.

Also I don't understand all this talk about horror movies. That was not horror. It was a mystery movie or at the most a light weight thriller.

I liked the movies, not as much as manga and anime, but the thing that bothered me the most is that the movies were dubbed. I saw the movies in a movie theatre so I had no choice of choosing Japanese audio.

Moreover, Death Note is sometimes really funny, and most of the humour is lost with the dub. However, I would want to see what would people say when they see Ryuk and Rem. Big Smile

i think i saw the remake :o is that possible?
the movie was called devils diary and it was a diary where you could write names in and how they would die. if you did well then it happened and you had to give your soul to satan so i guess it's a lot like death note...

such a shame that they can't come up with something on their own...

Hollywood only copies things that has the potential to make them more money. (because of its success)
Anime and manga get movies in Japan (and tv series) and it's popular here, so of course an American version would be made by Hollywood.
people hate when they remake old classics, heck ever heard of My Fair Lady? Guess what they are remaking it.
Before you say there is nothing from Americans that is original please check out the past and search the roots of THE INTERNET.
There are a lot of good movies from Japan, and the US, and China, and Bollywood, and France, etc. so singling out a whole country is plain lunacy. I might add that Hollywood is just a major movie "company" there are many indie films that are completely original and make it big.

Just wikipedia it and it's actually a Canadian movie... not Hollywood.
