As certain as I am that this will be garbage, this is an alright looking poster.
All according to keikaku,

Willem Dafoe is going to be perfect as Ryuk
Its just going to be Dafoe standing around with spiked hair.
I watched Death Note for the first time last year, so I'm highly intrigued by this. I can't see how it can possibly work as a single movie, but I'm interested in watching the attempt.
I mean The Guest is all right, but really

Both The Guest and You're Next are amazing. Blair Witch was also great, though I seem to be in the minority on that one.

I am really excited to see what Winguard does with Godzilla vs King Kong
Oh I didn't realize you said best genre filmmakers. Maybe you're right there.
Pretty much what they did in the Japanese series only that still took two movies plus L had his own third movie which was pretty good.

Will be disappointed if Ryuk doesn't scream "HEY KIDS! WANNA DIE?" at some point

Personally I think they should've Westernized/Christianized the Shinigami's in this adaptation and made them something like Grim Reapers/Angels of Death.
They're not attempting to encapsulate the whole story of the manga/anime in this movie but to have their own take based on the manga/anime but adapted to America that can be told within a movie.

This was already being made before Netflix picked it up.
IGN released an exclusive sneak peak featurette: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-sWV1R3eyM

Honestly, got me hyped after watching it. Can't wait til it's released.
That doesn't look half bad actually.

I didn't know Masi Oka was a producer on this. I'm glad he's still doing something in the business.

Looks ok. I liked a couple of wingards movies
Not sure if he will pull this one off but Willem Dafoe and Keith Stanfield was really dope casting for ryuk and l
Also with it being on Netflix I'll watch it sooner rather than later

Looks interesting. It at least seems to transform the source material into something a little more different unlike that shithouse GITS remake
Maybe they are not doing a 1-1 adaptation.

Really, really can't wait for this movie. This needs to be the template or inspiration for making good anime adaptations.
Key word: adaptation.
I think so too but I got jumped on for not being concerned enough for the lack of Asian actors in one of the other threads. Ugh.

It's a movie adaptation set in America, obviously they're going to have to make changes in order to create a complete story for a 2 hour film.

Well, it's some kind of 'L'.
