U.S. Remake for DEATH NOTE

I like the manga, didn't like the Japanese live action at all and I might like the American one... who knows?
And why are people always going against American stuff? Everyone copies everyone. It's like the Japanese remaking The Devil from the Koreans (I think...). O:

But still that's cool for them remaking it and good luck for them. Big Smile

American's films are not completed without these - that's why I luv Asian's (although they also have some kissing scene lol)

Why are you guys such jerks? If the U.S. wants to make a remake then so be it. I mean seriously, it's honestly nobody's business. Also, of course there shouldn't be a high expectations of a remake because it's a.... -drum roll- REMAKE! How many remakes out there have been good? How many Japanese remakes have screwed up? Remakes as a whole are not that easy for countless reasons, so stop complaining over here assuming it's going to be bad. The reason why remakes are said to be worse than they really are is because people watch it thinking it's going to be just like the previous one. China did tons of remakes of those legendary stuff; all countries did tons of sequels that are crap, so umm... let's think for a second... GET OVER IT!

I don't have high expectations of this because it's a remake and I never have high expectations for remakes. Since it was "quietly revealed", I'm thinking they are still at the planning process of whether it should be a total remake or what. The Japanese are more... I don't know how to explain this... but the Japanese wold probably believe in Shinigami and stuff more than the U.S.; U.S. is probably more "realistic" so it's going to be kind of difficult to "Americanize" it. But then again, Pirates were extremely popular before and now Vampires, so you never know. I just hope it will be watachable, but it's a remake so we can't have high expectations in the first. Then again, you never know, they could actually plan it really well.

an amercian death note book?

Well counting on that
the Japanese were the originals
they are better in graphics
and they own horror/sic-fi movies

i can't see the american ver. winning
but they could if they followed the manga unlike the Japanese did.
And americans aren't that bad in graphics but hope the person who's
making it , could afford it!
And ....

OKOK americans ver. is gonna SUCK
no offense but no matter how good they act or how
good their graphics is, they could NEVER pull off a horror movie!
I mean seriously!

They are good is bringing in the suspense but, the horror part,
they SUCK at it!
SERIOUSLY no offense

Other than that
i have to agree with gakirin

Both countries has copied each others product,
America rules in music >>>>>> so Japanese copied it
[They are good at it too, so i don't know why]
Japanese rules in horror movies >>>>>> America copies it
[They are good in suspense and Disgust able movies (ex.SAW) so i still don't get it]

It's no doubt that there are a lot of ppl in this world that just don't want to look at Asians on the screen. If u take all of the top American movies and put in Asian actors...the movies would fail.

With that being said, I don't think it'll do as well in America. The taste is different and part of the draw for Death Note are the Japanese ppl.

Every country copies things from other countries and there are many examples of bad/great remakes. So those arguments are retarded at best.

As for America making a remake for Death Note, I'm doubtful that it will be very good, unless they stick to the original manga. I might have been one of the few, but I found the Death Note movies a bit disappointing. If the remake does a good job and doesn't stick all American actors in it, then it might be good. I would like to see real nationalities come out here, L is English after all.

I doubt they will do that though.. Most likely they will rewrite the story to take place in NY City or have an non-Asian actors go to Japan. Maybe they will do what they did in the movie War, cast some obviously Chinese actors to play Japanese people, the movie was already bad enough before they did that.

I'd seriously like to know what was "wrong" with the Deathnote Live Action that some people are saying wasn't good. It sounds like you are just saying **** for no reason. I would really like to know what you didn't like about it because I found it very entertaining and I know it got great reviews. I don't see where you have room to say it wasn't good.
