wow..another DEATH NOTE live action movie...With a completely different cast....





10 years after the first Death Notes...6 new death notes are scattered around the country......

Pass for me I think..I liked the first ones because of the main actor...Ken'ichi Matsuyama

I quite like Kaneko's Death Note films. Great mix of good, trendy mainstream cinema and unintentionally amusing mainstream cinema. It really shouldn't work, but somehow it does. Even Tatsuya Fujiwara's acting fits in those films.

I don't expect this new one to be worth seeing. The director is Shinsuke Sato, whose Gantz was terrible, and whose Princess Blade was horrible.

Another trailer:

Yep, looks terrible.

I heard his new film I AM A HERO is supposed to be good though.....

I hear that too, but I have difficulties believing this guy would ever be able to deliver anything tolerable...

Don't hold your grudge too long TAKUMA....i only saw PRINCESS BLADE of his and yes I agree it was underwhelming...

While I doubt this new DEATH NOTE will bring anything new to the story I will check out I AM A HERO..
