American Death Note Movie?

zac efron is playing LIGHT?! wtf! i would boycott that movie.

i think someone from japan who can speak fluent english should play light. maybe that guy Hiro from Heroes would be kinda cool.

I actually thought that was a rumor so I went and looked it up and apparently it is an actual movie. I have nothing agaisnt Zac Efron but I don't think the guy who did high school musical would make a very good Kira. But the Zac Efron thing might just be a rumor. There is another on circling that the guy who plays Dr.Chase on House will be Kira and the Guy who plays Scarecrow will in the new Batman movies will be L. Which seems strange because they look older than the cast is supposed to look so maybe Hollywood i s trying to make their own story with a death Note that will be nothing like the original. Which is probably better because nothing can top the original manga/anime. I do have low expectations of this movie but I really hope that I'm wrong and the movie ends up being really good

Well, this is the first time I've heard about it.

Personally, I hate it when things like English dubs in the anime or as you are saying copying the movie only in an American-version, it doesn't fit; but I am eager to see what happens.

But seriously..Zack Efron? Of all people? Ugh..I despise that guy, mainly because I hate High School Musical. =p

Ack really? Can I ask where you got that bit of info? Hmmm I really don't know any american actors (it's sad since I'm american, but I rarely watch US tv or movie) I have seen that zac guy in death note comics, and he does have a scary resemblints to light, so why not him?

I can't think of an exact person who should get the job of playing Light but whoever it is they should at least be asian and have blond bleached hair, come on now xD

Same with Misa, blond hair this time please!

Was really disappointed with the other two :/

Cosplayers to better jobs then that casting person did

::edit:: totally in with boycotting it with ÄļmÕکť Pëřƒ€ĉŦ シェーン if Zac's in it xD

I think the original Light Yagami should play him, and that would be Tatsuya Fujiwara, the original japanese actor that played Light in the movies. Although he is still learning English, by the time they finish the script, he will probably know it by then.

One More thing:

Screw Zac Efron, I have money.

haha, that would be funny and wouldn't match at all!

I mean, I don't wanna sound racist or nuthin but unless it's a complete remake like The Ring, then it just won't work.... Actually, I seriouly don't think it could work because the manga and anime are already too popular and they confirm that the people in the story are all Japanese.
