Anyone saw the web-based game at the "L change the world" movie official site?

http://wwws.warnerbros.co.jp/L-movie/room/index.html

Basically, there are 3 stages and you are supposed to break the code and search for stuffs in the room to accomplish the 3 missions...

Quite boring, but well... it's DN so... =)

anyone has read this "shocking" news?

"The production notes for the recent horror films Shutter and The Strangers both reveal that America's Vertigo Entertainment is developing a remake of the Death Note franchise and has hired Vlas and Charles Parlapanides to write the screenplay. In Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata's hit Death Note manga, a teenager finds a notebook with which he can put people to death by writing their names. He begins a self-anointed crusade against the criminals of the world, and a cat-and-mouse game begins with the authorities and one idiosyncratic genius detective.

Vertigo Entertainment (no relation to DC Comics' Vertigo imprint or the United Kingdom's Vertigo Films) has developed or is developing remakes of Ju-on (The Grudge), Dark Water, Infernal Affairs (The Departed), Gin gwai (The Eye), Shutter, My Sassy Girl, Jungdok (Possession), and Janghwa, Hongryeon (The Uninvited). The Parlapanides brothers are writers and executive producers of Undercover, an update of the 21 Jump Street television series which is under development for the CW network.

The Death Note manga has already been adapted into two Japanese live-action films with one spinoff film, an animated television series, assorted television specials, and novels. Viz Media is releasing the manga, the anime series, and a novel, while Viz Pictures released the first Japanese live-action film in theaters in May. "

Over 65,000 Watch 1st Death Note Film in U.S. Theaters

DN movies have NEVER been released in my area (New York)

Btw, how was it in US theater? Japanese dub with English sub ?

sainclaire · 2008-07-12, 21:14

Heard Zac Effron was going to play Light. :\

Personally, it was painful for me to sit through the first movie. I didn't really like the actors nor did I think the movie was technically superior.

It's NOT a rumor !!!

Well, we already knew that. :P

That wouldn't make sense, because I'm pretty sure Kenichi doesn't speak perfect english. Also, L is one of the few characters that aren't japanese in the original story.

Although Kenichi is pretty much THE perfect Ryuuzaki, he should stay in the original live-action movies.

Also, live with it, they are going to americanize the story. Shinigami don't even exist in the western culture. And there are SO many things they will change, whether we like it or not.

Nevertheless I am excited about the remake. I have been thinking Kevin Zegers could be cast as Light, he's a decent actor.

Echoes · 2008-08-12, 16:30

Yeah, expecting the same actors to appear in the American remake is just unrealistic, the language barrier being one of the problems as mentioned. I'm not very excited about this at all either, the movies, especially the first, was already far inferior to the anime. I'm expecting the American remake to be even worse, though it might still be enjoyable.

Coruja · 2008-08-12, 16:52

I did not love the japanese movies either, some things were way too over-the-top for me to enjoy... However I'd like to think that the american remake will be based on the manga instead of based on the live-action.

saku-san · 2008-08-12, 19:19

well after reading that there will be a remake all i can say is wat i've said like 2 years ago in another site:
if any n i mean any of the HSM cast is in it i will not watch it!!!!
it is posible that they do that but thats just me Zac can b light but he cant act
ken'nichi cant speak english all to well i've seen him speak it n... no but he IS L he IS n will ONLY be L in my eyes but thats only my opinion ^_^
but if they do remake it then there is a chance that there will be a better script n wont be w/ light havein a GF cuz to be honest that was just some bull there ^_^

seracx3 · 2008-08-12, 19:26

i havent watched the movie yet. im kind of scared that i might regret watching it so i just decided to watch just the anime.

Let's talk about close-minded! Why the hell would you guys believe a rumour that surfaced WAY before they announced the damn remake? That's not particularly smart.

And giva a chance for the new L.

Don't worry, this remake will be totally HMS-free.

And I'm sorry if I was rude, but my english is still quite poor, so...

blewin · 2008-08-27, 05:09

Just watched L: change the world. It certainly gives L more human quality, makes his story so very much more poignant, and make us viewers want him to live so much more.

Spoiler for L change the world:

I think DN has potential to spawn many more movies revolving around Watari's organisation. Even with L, there could be movies about his work before he took up the Kira case, but unless the psychological aspect of the stories is written well, DN will just be demoted to another endless spawning franchise that degrades its qualities.

blewin Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2007	Just watched L: change the world. It certainly gives L more human quality, makes his story so very much more poignant, and make us viewers want him to live so much more. Spoiler for L change the world: The movie isn't as psychologically absorbing as DN the anime and previous live-action movies, but it has achieved the emotional effect it aimed for - to show L's human side. The film shows L tirelessly solving one case after another before the computer, cases that Watari has left behind. It also shows a massage of L's about mourning Watari's death that is being forwarded to all the agents, agents I, K, F etc, giving more background into Watari's organisation. That part is definitely well done, satisfying viewers with additional information of this mysterious organisation that we don't know much even from the manga. The only qualm I have about the movie is the last part where L leaps off the portable stairs and into the moving plane. His entire role defies his usual strategy, sitting behind the desk, directing and deducing without putting himself in physical danger. Still, I guess it can be explained away as he doesn't have long to live. Again, L's character was wonderfully acted out. I think he only smiled once, and that's at the end of the movie. Though he's concerned about Maki and Near, he has kept his expressionless face. I think DN has potential to spawn many more movies revolving around Watari's organisation. Even with L, there could be movies about his work before he took up the Kira case, but unless the psychological aspect of the stories is written well, DN will just be demoted to another endless spawning franchise that degrades its qualities.
