Okay, so lately I've heard about the Death Note American remake and they want Zac Efron to play as the main character Light Yagami. Now, I liked the Japanese films and they weren't that bad (If you guys like it as well?), but do they really need to remake a movie.

Okay so comment on this topic if you have a better opinion about this rumour. Very Happy

The beginning of this video from Batman: Brave and the Bold pretty much sums up my thoughts on adaptations.

At the end of the day, ignorance is bliss. Rumours ain't worth paying attention to until you can actually see the result. And IF a adaptation of Death Note finally is filmed, well, we will see.[/url]

This rumour has been around for a while, the other rumour was that he was going play Sagara Sousuke in a live action FMP. Still nothing has hapened, and I won't take much notice until there is some definitive proof.

Well, I just hope it stays as a rumour. I really don't want to see Zac Efron play as Light Yagami.

So here's something for it, fan casting, any ideas?

If you were to cast right now, I would probably expect Andrew Garfield to be involved.

Hugh Jackman as everyone. Except L played by Johny Depp.

I am never any good at those hypotheticals of who should be cast.

I say minimalist use of CGI for Shinigami, the actor for model Ryuk should probably be Jim Parsons, and Hugo Weaving as Saito. I can't think of someone for Rem right now, but for a current placeholder I guess Johny Depp can play it too, he can just put a different funny voice on.

I dunno, if you were going CGI minimal, Bruce Spence would do a good job and his natural height means he has qualification Smile

I think Jim Parsons would make a good Ryuk. I don't know who Rem should be, and would Rem be voiced by a female voice actor or a male? Cause from the Japanese version of Death Note it was a male voice actor. Confused
