Top 5 Animes That Will Always Be Binge WorthyNov 3, 22 9pm
Over the past few years up to this point, millions of viewers hastily looked for new ways to entertain themselves.
A film adaptation is making a rather surprising return as a sequel to director Adam Wingard’s “Death Note” film.
While there are a variety of opinions on the live-action western adaptation of the film, it held a rather “sizable” success on Netflix according to CCO Ted Sarandos. So far, it has been confirmed that Greg Russo, a writer currently working on the “Mortal Kombat” and “Resident Evil” film scripts, will be working on the script for the sequel film.
The American neo-noir supernatural thriller film was released in 2017 and loosely based on the “Death Note” series by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata. As stated, the film was directed by Adam Wingard, a directed noted for working in the horror genre. There were three people who worked on the screenplay of the film and they were Charles Parlapanides, Vlas Parlapanides, and Jeremy Slater.
The cast of the series include:
Nat Wolff as Light Turner / Kira
Lakeith Stanfield as L
Margaret Qualley as Mia Sutton / Kira
Shea Whigham as James Turner
Paul Nakauchi as Watari
Jason Liles and Willem Dafoe as Ryuk
The story of the film features American Light Turner one day finding a mysterious and supernatural notebook called the “Death Note.” After picking it up, he ends up being visited by the Death Note’s previous owner: a demonic Japanese god of death named Ryuk.
When Ryuk informs Lights that the book causes the death of anyone whose name is written within its pages, the high schooler makes the decision to kill people whom he deems to be morally unworthy of life. Taking on the alias “Kira”, Light makes it his mission to change the world into a utopian society without crime. His actions are not unnoticed however as a small task-force of law enforcement officials, including the FBI’s top profiler, attempt to find and apprehend Light.
The “Death Note” series which the film was based on first made its debut in 2003 as manga. It was serialized in Shueisha’s manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Jump and ran from December 2003 to May 2006 and had a total of 12 volumes released. An anime adaptation of the series came out in October 2006 and ran until June 2007. Other than an anime, the series also got a variety of video games and three live-action films.
