Unless they cut a ton, the story will be incomprehensible.
I dont know about keeping faithful to Ryuk's design. There's a good chance of it looking too goofy and/or out of place.
It would just update it. That was my original point.
Having death note being written on the front cover is funny to me.
They should have updated this for modern times and Western audiences. It should be a smart phone or tablet that has twitter with a special profile. Whenever you tweet someones name they end up dying.
The notebook having its name on the front + the convoluted rules fit with the fact that the shinigamisHaving death note being written on the front cover is funny to me.
But that's canon isn't it?
Thought it looked pretty good as an adaptation. But why a movie? That means everything will just be rushed like the Japanese movie, unless they're changing the plot (which I don't mind).
The Japanese live action show was terrible though, so I guess it makes sense to avoid that route.
Why is he actively running from cops? Like, wasn't that Light's whole schtick with regards to being caught? He was so calculated and cocky he'd continue right under their noses?
Is Light supposed to be in High School?

This is likely how they'll rewrite "Kira" (from googling 'kira meaning'):
So Light made up a pseudonym that also means Light.
Ruyk's explanation: he wrote the title and the instructions on purpose, so a human would pick it up and try to use it for his amusement. He wrote them in English because it was widely spoken on Earth.

Lots of doubts for an English live action version. A lot of things won't work to me. Eg, Kira is still the name used in this version... which makes no sense to arise as the name.
Probably because it's not afraid to make changes to service the story for a 90 to 120 minute American film adaptation.
Wasn't a lot of the 2nd season kinda bad and all over the place? I can't remember, been a while since I watched. Will be interesting to see how some of the ... zanier parts translate to live action.
Light is an emo
Action scenes and a police chase(?)
DRAMATIC MUSIIIICCCCCC
Good job missing the point of the manga
This is dragon Ball evolution 2.0

???, literally everything you just listed was present in the anime and manga so I'm not really sure what you're getting at..........
It's funny in both places. Just even more so in live action. Don't get me wrong. I will watch this. Wasn't a "this looks fucking stupid" and more of a chuckle to myself.
Can work if they hire the Iron Fist team.We need those quick cuts and uncomfortable close ups couple with an evil laughter.
Surprised theres so much complaining online, especially since people dont even have to use their hard earned dollars and pay a 7.50 movie ticket to see this movie on netflix, its like no cost to even give them the benefit of the doubt and check it out.
In a world with 4 Japanese version of live action death note theatrically released films, I think there is clearly room for an english casting and take on this to exist.
Remind me how Light was an emo in the anime/manga????, literally everything you just listed was present in the anime and manga so I'm not really sure what you're getting at..........

There were action scenes in the original, but this teaser has Light legit running from cops on foot and hanging off the side of a Ferris Wheel.
