Rumor Alert: Death Note Movie Script Leaked? >>

This does not happen in the alleged script. Let me give a bit of backstory on this article: about three weeks ago, an Anime Vice reader e-mailed me a PDF file that he claimed was a script for Lin Pictures' live-action Death Note . Rather than run with the story then, I called Lin Pictures to see if they could confirm or deny whether the script was actually theirs or a fan-written phony. I was told I would get a call back, but never did. I tried calling back a second time earlier this week, this time passing on considerably more information, and still no call back. As such, I have come to the conclusion that the company isn't overly concerned with the script, which suggests several possibilities to me: It's not a legitimate script at all, so they're not worried about it. It's an old draft, significantly different from the current version, so they're not worried about it. The script was intentionally leaked for promotional purposes or to gauge fan reaction. There is also the possibility, of course, that the company simply hasn't been had time to decide what to do or get back to me. I think three weeks is a pretty fair shake, but let me say...this is entertainment, and I don't feel like it's my job to make entertainment creators' jobs any harder than necessary. That combined with the fact that regardless of who wrote it, the script in question is SOMEone's copyrighted material, means that I'm not going to post the full script here. If you want it, I know there are a couple of other sites that have already posted it, so you'll have to find it for yourself. I will, however, go into great detail from having read the script myself. Suffice it to say, there are many significant changes-- mostly ones that don't bother me at all (no Misa! Yay!), but there are a couple of big ones. SPOILER WARNING: Click here to reveal hidden content. Now, I'm open to the idea that there COULD be a really good Hollywood Death Note movie, but if this is in fact a legitimate script: taken on its own, it's a halfway-decent (if slightly moralistic) script for a young teen-oriented drama, but as an adaptation of Death Note, it misses the mark. But let me reiterate again before people start flailing and freaking out: we have NO confirmation that this is a legitimate or current script, so consider this post to be as much "for the lulz" as anything. Take it with a grain of salt. That said...let's say you were in charge of a Death Note movie. You have to make it accessible to your average American movie-goer, and aim it probably at the 13-18 crowd primarily, but you want to keep the pre-existing fanbase happy, too. How would you do it?

Special Parfait of the Week: Death Note >>

Yagami Light is an ace student with great prospects, who's bored out of his mind. One day he finds the "Death Note": a notebook from the realm of the Death Gods, with the power to kill people in any way he desires. With the Death Note in hand, Light decides to create his perfect world, without crime or criminals. However, when criminals start dropping dead one by one, the authorites send the legendary detective L to track down the killer, and a battle of wits, deception and logic ensues..Source: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=6592"The human whose name is written in this note shall die."Another series that had my mind twisted, Death Note is the best in terms of mind games, tactical moves and strategic planning. As Light is on the hunt by L, he uses his knowledge and wits to prove his innocence. What was amusing was that he uses various techniques and strategies that are sometimes bizarre to be able to run away from L. Imagine for almost around 50++ episodes, Light was able to evade L with his crazy ideas.The Death Note has rules that needs to be followed and this is a very important tool for Light in his escape plans. He was able to fully utilize everything in his full ability. He is a very intelligent person....you really wouldn't think that he has a twisted mind. He is the son of a high ranking police officer. Though he advocates for a danger-free world, his methods of giving justice is being questioned as he kills all criminals with the use of his Death Note.Each episode is a suspense and thriller especially when L and Light became friends. Suspicion is always present between the two of them but one cannot really prove something from the other since the facts are not really strong and the possibility of a mistake is high. One wrong word or move might give the other a very huge advantage or disadvantage. Despite the everyday tension, they were able to be close with each other and even became close friends. But deep inside this friendship is a tug-of-war between these two brilliant individuals, making sure to catch the other first.Of course, I also had the chance to watch the live action movie and it was as good as the anime. Even the special effects were superb! Ryuu, the shinigami was present in the live action in his 3d form and damn, he looks like his anime version. I really salute the production crew and all the people behind the live action.Another live action movie was released entitled "L change the WorLd" and I am very much excited to see it. I dunno if subs are already available but it's a definite in my watch list sooner or later.
