I can get behind that, even though I fucking hate Death Note.

Fucking hate it.

Fucking love Willem Dafoe though.

 

[Darksol]

Wolff?

 

[Kalentan]

Huh, I thought people were saying in the previous thread that they said there was no Shinigami in the movie?

 

[Leona Lewis]

They were peddling bullshit from the old script written in 2009.

Wingard himself confirmed Shinigami back in May, but no one cared to listen

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Oh yeah.

That's a perfect fucking fit.

So in.

 

[Ulysses 31]

What do you hate about it? 0o

Up to a certain death it was great, most of the time. >.>

 

[black070]

Well shit.. they got me.

 

[MMarston]

 

[mrjohill]

I'm reading all of these quotes in his green goblin voice and I'm about it

 

[RetroDLC]

I hope his face is motion captured for the 3D model.

 

[chrisPjelly]

I hope his face is motion captured for the 3D model.

I don't get it. What was the point of posting two pictures of Willem Dafoe?

 

[Negaduck]

Man, that's a damn good choice.

 

[Defuser]

William Dafoe? You got me, I'll watch for him.

 

[Seraph_Nicholas]

I hope his face is motion captured for the 3D model.

I'd be really surprised if he looked anything like the anime version.

Personally, I'm banking on a rook. Y'know, the raven relative. Will probably be named Rook, too.

 

[ZealousD]

Kinda makes me feel like Riverdancin'

 

[Galang]

Well that's a surprisingly good choice... Though I also liked L's casting. Guess I'll definitely give this a watch now

 

[Archaix]

Why even go CGI? You're not going to make a creepier grim reaper face than Willam Dafoe's actual face.

 

[near]

I think he somewhat suitable for the role, my concern now is how Ryuk will look.

 

[Manu]

Dafoe on purple spandex or bust.

 

[darkwing-buck]

Damn don't anyone better that can voice the shinigami better then Dafoe.

 

[HardRojo]

I can get behind that, even though I fucking hate Death Note.

Fucking hate it.

Fucking love Willem Dafoe though.

I fucking hate it too, it was so awesome it made every other show pale in comparison.

 

[Killer Queen]

You know what. I actually have faith in this now.

 

[Numb]

Great choice

 

[TalonJH]

I literally went "nope" and then imagining his voice in my head and went, "damn, they may be on to something".

 

[Veritigo_X]

Oh, they're actually doing the shinigami? I heard they were going to cut that, but that could've been like 6 scripts ago.

 

[Kalentan]

Well Leona said this to me when I asked.

They were peddling bullshit from the old script written in 2009.

Wingard himself confirmed Shinigami back in May, but no one cared to listen

 

[Jarmel]

I am now down for this.

 

[Orniletter]

Can Jim Sterling do his Willem Dafoe impersonation instead ?

That'd be even better.

 

[Nickle]

This is going to be great

 

[Imperial Bishop]

"DON'T TELL REM."

 

[Anung]

I am now interested in this.

 

[jax]

They'll probably make the Shinigami a stuffed animal or something equally lame if what we've seen so far is any indicator.

 

[pbayne]

Full on Green Goblin-mode or bust.

 

[Leona Lewis]

Why even go CGI? You're not going to make a creepier grim reaper face than Willam Dafoe's actual face.

Why assume it's going to be fully CGI?

Wingard said the Shinigami will be "scary and practical."

 

[kewlmyc]

Went from "who cares" to enthusiastically anticipating.

 

[Kurtofan]

voiced only? dafoe could play riuk without make up on

 

[New002]

Okay, that's good.

 

[Hot Coldman]

voiced only? dafoe could play riuk without make up on

Yeah seriously. Makes me think Ryuk will be a talking computer monitor or some shit.

 

[RedAssedApe]

had no idea this was going to netflix

as people have pointed out...his face would be perfect though lol

 

[Maffis]

Cool choice. I still think it would've been better as a series instead of a film, seeing as there's alot of character development that needs it's time to really make the main characters as fleshed out as they are in the manga.

 

[PaleFolklore]

I'm pretty sure I already watched the cartoon of this on Netflix. It was really really bad and I had to force myself to finish it. Shame about Dafoe wasting his time on Justice League and now this too.

I'd boo you, but dat username.

 

[Pinko Marx]

Willem Dafoe playing Willem Dafoe basically.

 

[Yonafunu]

This film should be pretty damn interesting, which is really the best thing that can be said about an adaptation before it comes out.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Good. Disproves the rumor of them removing the Shinigami, which would have been stupid as hell.

Yep. Fantastic news.

 

[Tom_Cody]

Nice get

 

[Hellix]

How about them apples

 

[AuthenticM]

He needs to look like David Bowie.

 

[Khezu]

Spider-Man doesn't stand a chance.

 

[Zolo]

Heard the Shinigami were removed, so this is interesting.
