i'm deeply curious on how it would turn out...
they are a lot of movies and dramas being turned into re-makes.
i heard about Sassy girl being turned into an American remake to.
(the casting was pretty bad though...)
hopefully they make a better casting this time for death note.
i still haven't seen the Jmovie yet but i've seen the cast and they all look pretty good to me.
actors usually brings a lot into a movie, even if the plotting and sets are sucky, but if you got REALLY good actors, the movie goes along pretty well.

As sorry as I am to say this.

The only way this movie would work would be if they came up with their own story and just left Raito (Light) and L out of it. Other wise it won't make any sense.

I mean all you need is another Shinigami to drop another Death Note, have someone find it, they don't even have to have a sense of justice. Maybe some serial killer finds it... and there you go.

I guess if they want, they can bring Near, Mello, and Matt in to catch the psychopath.

And there you have it, a some what decent movie if it's done right.


Yes, you've a point there. I mean, seriously, who can beat Matsuyama and Fujiwara's acting? Especially Matsuyama Kenichi's. If the story's gonna be the same, then they might as well invite those two to act in English. Add Toda Erika in as well.

Ah... well... I still love Death Note as it is. It's a fascinating story, even my parents love it. Have to say, the Japanese version will be hard to beat for the plain reason that it is the original.

Imagine the internet community buzzing about "KILLER". It won't sound nice, would it? Kira sounds just perfect. Kanpeki. Big Smile

America lost their shine as good original Movie makers. Im more having problem with credits. I mean if people watch this there is big chance some NOOB GONNA SAY Deathnote is one awsome AMERICAN MOVIE! with out knowing its original Japanese as the concept goes.

Power Ranger(and i bet this has been said million times) Is not even original from America, its from Japan known as Super Sentai and yet there are people (noobs) saying that Japan couldnt make that!
Even though the proof is out there!!!

And anime here in holland we get either dutch dubs or english dubs, and people start to think its original american.

I know people who dont even know that Pokemon and Dragon Ball are from Japan while the media had said it for billion times over and over again.

Almost every generation if they dont look it up, they start to assume its from america.

Oh no they didn't. I wonder how it'll go, because sometimes the CGI in American movies are good. It has potential to be considered a GOOD remake, if they do it right. And hopefully, they do.

But most likely, they'll 'Hollywood' it, so yeah. :/

Americans makes they own movies, 'cause they don't understand anything else language or they cannot read english, that's the raeson why they have to make own movies.

Dark Water is originally japanese, so is Ring

can I have a question? I think I have dropped behind, because it says there are "three live-action films in Japan". 3? I know only about two. which one is the third?

by the way, I will definitely watch the American version of DN, because I am very curious.
there is the Japanese Shall We Dance movie, which was also made into an American one and I liked much better the latest one, perhaps because of Richard Gere... Wub (So many people hate him saying that he hasn't got talent, but he is really cool in Pretty Woman.) Beating heart

oh, and I almost forgot! : there will be the American Dragonball movie soon... which must be -definitely- a horror!!! Crazy

Bling-bling! Hey, we have both, Japanophiles and "gangstas" (mostly from South-Eastern Europe) Mr. Green

Okay, I'll stop being retarded. But you guys made me want a film noir remake of the Death Note live action.

i love it. the manga is great, but the movie adaptions are just ok. they are great if you LOVE death note, but as movies, they aren't anything special. i'd welcome a japanese remake.

aside from the casting of L and Light, what about the originals is so great (movie wise)?

a lot of japanese kids when they are small think McDonalds is a japanese chain of restaurants. every county is like that. the world doesn't end.

If there is no remake, chances are 95% of the world will never hear of the original, thus have no chance of checking it out even if they want to. sometimes i think japanophiles just want everything to themselves. i have american friends who sought out japanese horror movies due to remakes, but they'd never do that without the remake.

the remake doesn't make the original anything except just the original. ill love sassy girl to the end of time, even after it gets americanized and sucks. hell, in korea they made a crappy semi sequel, which i saw, banged my head, and still loved the original.

O.o What bother's me most of the time is, that they'll never give credits to the originals..*no matter if american or japanese/korean/etc.*

I'm not a fan of remakes in general - no matter from where - even so I still hope that it will lead to more popularity of the original.Cool
You sure can make something better *and sadly - but more than true - even worse* than the original.. with the right actors/directors and writer... but how can you put something about the 'japanese ghosts' into an american way of movie?
