my point was just two things, one - its WAY too early to worry about promoting the project, and 2 - the american rights to a script/film and the viz japanese rights are separate.
note:  i agree on the crappy remakes and they hurt me too, but i think its looked at almsot like its ruining the original, or its JUST americans remaking foreign things, and both things are 100% not true. everyone has taken original material, remade it, and ground up everything that made it cool and original.
btw, do you all LOVE the original MOVIE (not manga) to the point you dont want a remake? i LOVE the manga (up till it goes off the rails in volume 7) but the movies, they were good but certainly not fantastic. |
i honestly haven't seen the original movie, but i definitely followed the manga till the end. the manga rocked that's how i would say about it. but if we talk about the movie trailer wise, i would say Death Note looked pretty interesting. although... the demon who follows the kira was unrealistic. that's what i would comment about the trailer, but the casting seemed pretty good.

i think if you love the manga, you'll really like some things in the movie, and really HATE some other things. some choices in the movie i didn't like, specifically the introduction of Misa, which in the comic is one of the great kick ass moments of all time. Honestly, couldn't see that comiing, and it was SO cool. in the movies, they way they go about it pretty much takes thes suprise away. Still, if you are a big death note fan, what are you waiting for! Watch it!! Are you having trouble finding it to watch?
IMO the definitive Death Note movie has yet to be made. it could be a great movie, it has killer source material to work with._________________ Please visit my homepage!  Nikos World

I really hate how they make big money thanks to the movies that arent even theirs
I bet manypeople who are going to watch DEATH NOTE (american version) wont even know that its a japanese movie ...... |
That wil happen only if they dotn look it up but unfortunatly most people dotn. |
Yeah....I really agree...even Hollywood give credit to Japan, but when those people don't really know it original from American. Yeah Hollywood will get advantage from Death Note which the way it is. I hate the way they earn $ from other.

The remakes that hurt my head are the one's that won't work, so they just change them 100%, and make a new movie, with the same name. see later this year, MY SASSY GIRL, a film that 100% was lightning in a bottle and worked because of the chemistry of the leads. how do i justify not doing this?  One thing - DVD. We will FINALLY get a clean print, kick ass DVD copy of the original once the crappy remake comes out. t
btw, to me the best / worst (interesting) remake example was THE PULSE. It was an awful japanese film that had no ending (its one of those movies thats slow moving, thoughtful, but a total mess that people justify as being good by saying its "artsy"). the american remake is a total popcorn flick. totally and utterly awful in a totally different way.
they are great bookends. awful japanese meets awful american.  they should release them together in a 2 dvd package._________________ Please visit my homepage! Nikos World

| Sad to know US remaking this. Noone can beat Matsuyama Kenichi's portrayal of L. Regardless, i'll still watch it for the sake of Death Note.

Remakes = bad
Hollywood remakes = pure and utter garbage
Just take Flight of the Phoenix... ugh...
Not even remotely interested in this one. I mean, take the lead. Fujiwara Tatsuya is one hell of an actor (you should see him on stage, really) and a real actor (he's doing stage, anyone can do movies, but stage is different, it's live), unlike the majority of those overpaid idiots that run around in Hollywood. I'm barely watching any Hollywood movies anymore, and that shouldn't come as a surprise. If I would tell you, that the last Hollywood movie I watched was "The Cheyenne Social Club", what would you say? A pity, the giants in Hollywood are either dead or dying. Damn, Clint Eastwood is almost 80... Heston died earlier this year. Jimmy Stewart's (I LOVE him) been dead for a while. And what comes after them? Adam Sandler, Orlando Bloom, Hayden Christiansen... please shoot me..._________________  |

whats the worst that happens? there is a remake. it sucks. we get lots of rereleased death note stuff in the US to try to take advantage of movie. people who didnt know about death note before think it sucks instead. OMG. The horror...
i love the little insulated world people live in sometimes. MOST people dont watch the same stuff we do. its not made exclusively for us. the owners of the material are free to ship it wherever they like. they could make 7,000 crappy death note remakes and ill still love the original material. who cares?_________________ Please visit my homepage!

Seconded.
Really, do you all really LOVE the movie that much? I thought the movie was complete crap. Yeah, yeah, there are great actors in there (except the girl who was Misa, I despise her, or all the characters she gets pushed into playing), but I found the movie really boring and uninteresting. The graphics for the shinigami were terrible, and I really disliked the character of Shiori, or whatever the hell her name was. Just a bad movie all around. This could be because I think the manga is so wonderful, that my expectations are really high. But the manga is the sh*t, yeah?
Let Hollywood make this movie, then you all can bitch about it, then something else will come along within a month and you'll forget all about this "Hollywood Death Note".
If it were me, I'd be worried about Hollywood making a movie out of Ryu Murakami's Coin Locker Babies, a fantastic book. I'm worried about this one, as half of the proposed cast isn't Japanese....seriously.

i dont love the movie, i was making a general point. i love the manga. it hought the movie was ok, but definitely didnt do the manga justice. it was ok because the source material was great._________________ Please visit my homepage! Nikos World
