Hollywood to make American Death Note movie?
By Gosha • Jun 2nd, 2008 • Category: Anime, MoviesShock Till You Drop has reported that the movie studio Vertigo, makers of “The Departed”, are working on a Hollywood adaptation of Death Note, produced by Doug Davison and written by Vlas and Charles Parlapanides.
Here is a brief summary of Death Note if you are unaware of what it is…
Based on a manga by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata, previously adapted into anime by Madhouse and live action by Shusuke Kaneko, Death Note follows the battle of wits between teen geniuses Light and L. Bored model student Light stumbles onto a tool for carving an impression into the world when he finds a Shinigami/Death God’s notebook, with which he can prescribe the time and circumstances of the death of any named individual. After Light uses the book to kill a host of criminals, L is given the case of tracking down the responsible party, which in turn pushes Light toward desperate tactics.
