American Death Note Live Action Movie?!?
 

So i hear rumours that they're making one and ZAC EFFRON is going to play Light.

NOT ON MY INTERNET!

What are they going to do? turn death note into high school musical? i swear if they cast Zac as light im burning my death note t-shirt and DVDs..

DISCUSS

omg, That's so weird if that were to happen. I don't think it would, though.

It was funny, a few months back my friends and I were saying that Zac Effron looks like Light and Romeo from the old Romeo and Juliet movie... lol

AHHHHHHH!!!!!! they better not>.< i hate that guy>.< dont ruin death note>.<

Well i dont know how anyone else feels but i hate high school musical with a burning passion and if they cast Zac it would ruin the whole thing for me.

does anyone have IMDB pro?

Death Note (2010)

Surely we gotta get a petition going against this. He looks like the sort of person who wouldnt appreciate death note anime/manga in the slightest if he saw it in passing. How could he pull off a character for which he had no interest in? Either that or hes gonna do a poor job of it as expected with Goku in the live action dragonball movie due out in the not so far away future..

Grr..

Hey, that would be pretty cool. It would be neat to take my family/friends to see it on the big screen, and it would prob--

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

Don't worry. I checked good ol' Wiki and he's nowhere close to being in a Death Note movie.

@Shad0w- Where did you hear this? XD

CaptainThunder shares my rage..

Says it all.

Zac will do the same for Light and ruin it all.

there better not be>.< i will be furious if there ever is>.<

Im currently at a house party and I overheard some guys talking about it..

Was so angry!

mmm... I think it's just one of those internet rumours because I head about this online before too. lol

O_O
I will not watch it if Zac Efron plays any part in that movie. >_<

It's a great idea though. XD

No its not.. theres already 3 of them why do we need another?

That's true. And thinking about it more, American's will probably screw it up like they have with every other Japanese re-make.

You're being serious..?

Well, it'll certianly be interesting.. If it is ever made I'll definitely watch it whatever the outcome.

maybe someone had a nightmare and posted it on the internet and now its coming true;.;

It would probably be sucky just like the u.s re make of shutters (Thai) and one missed call (Japanese).

oh god..please tell me this is all just some sick joke.

It is and you just felt for it

right. & since i fell for that, i'll fall for you, too & believe you.

not happening. D:

Wait wait wait.

You're at a house party.

On Japan Forum.

On the INTERWEBZ?!

Ash my friend, you'll never live this down! LMAO.

Nah I'm kidding.

I don't want them to do some s***y cheesy American Death Note with the big corny accents >.< It'd be wrongggggggg.

american remake: BLEEH
death note live action: sucked balls
zac efron: *FACEPALM*

That would suck! >.< I hate all these disney stars that think they are God. I hate it when the little kids start in disney and then they are singers the next week. Disney should have stuck to the cartoon movies.
And I really don't think Americans should be allowed to re-make movies. They ruin EVERYTHING they touch! Not just movies from other countries, they also ruin American stuff! >.< Sorry, but I really don't like America too much. I hate it here... ;.;

Sorry, I think I got a little off-topic... >.>

I say good, since they are already going to f... up, they should f... up good.
The movie itself will most likelly going to be a piece of crap and it will fail, so they might as well take somebody down... So I say, go with Efron! And if you can take other disney characters, better!

I'm just hoping it will be entertaining the the most part :cool:

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW..
Noh,that can't be it..
I'd burnt all the Death Note merchandise I own if ZAC EFFRON was playing Light.
<_<

uhmm yeah
 

i heard about that zac effron rumor and ugh disgust in my heart i would forever link high school musical and death note together ruining one of the best manga/anime/live action/whatever else connected with it ever
i'm not to keen on it being made over in hollywood anyway i think they did a good enough job in japan with the live action and it would just give off a strange vibe
idk maybe i'm just weird

hmm.....what actor do you guys think COULD pull of Light (realistically)?:confused:

kawaiisugoi username! *Peace*

Unknown actors usually do good jobs.. that way you knowing their trying their hardest in the audition and in the film cuz its their big break instead of "hello im that guy from HSM let me ruin death note"

haha, so true. I don't know many unknown actors (if any at all), but to play Light, an actor must be able to look calm and completely crazy (at the same time?).....

Gaspard Ulliel fer your thoughts? :mtongue:

ha ha

but yeah you're right its best for someone unknown, i can't even picture any american actor pulling it off, since it has to be young people for the main parts and sorry there is nobody out there right now that i could see pulling that off

however if they do go with "hsm guy" they might as well cast jamie lynn spears as misa , one of the jonas brothers for L

You don't say?

Instead of making a thread I think I'll here.

Question: Did any of you watched the Japanese live version of Death Note?
If you did, was it good?

At least it isn't as bad as Keanu Reeves playing Spike Spiegel. ;_;

But, Zac 'Prissy Boy' Effron as Light? Pfffffft, ahahaha!

I can just imagine their horrible Engrish. x]

Hey, those are just rumors. Lets keep hoping it won't become a reality.

*looks at thread and smirks*

Just as planned!!! :p

lol, I think the japanese version is much more COOLER than any other-version

ha ha
Tom Cruise as Light....god that's almost too scary....if it was real life all of us non-scientologist would be dead he he

Well, after reading this thread...

I checked out the info.

Apparently it's going to be Vertigo studios that remakes it (they've remade a LOAD of Japanese and otherwise movies, and of course turned them to sh*t).

I also check out the guy who's supposedly going to be the producer. Doug Davison.

This guy's worked on:

The Ring
The Grudge
Dark Water
The Eye
Shutter
Qurantine
And a few others...

If that says anything to how this is going to go down... I'm not going to watch it. In fact, I'm likely going to be protesting it.

However, this DOES mean that the likely-hood of Efron playing anyone in the movie is slim to none. Still, it's not a garunteed zero, and that annoys me...

I guess i'm the only one who thought the japanese live action sucked balls?
An american remake will just suck even more.
