Death Note In Hollywood

It's so cool that the first manga I fell in love with is now being made into a Hollywood movie. Warner has recently acquired the rights to adapt Death Note into a live-action film.

Screenwriters Charley and Vlas Parlapanides were hired to adapt.

Warner Japan has already made 3 Japanese-language Death Note films but the Hollywood movie will not be based on them. It will be drawn from the first three installments of the manga.

Cool. I haven't seen the Japanese Death Note yet but a friend says it had been altered a bit.

I should buy some Death Note merchandise this early before they begin overpricing.
