Indonesian film distributor Moxienotion announced on Thursday that it will open Death Note Light up the NEW world, this year's live-action Death Note sequel film, in Indonesia on November 23.
The new film will open in Japan on Saturday.
Shinsuke Satō (live-action Gantz, Gantz: Perfect Answer, Library Wars films) is directing the film. Namie Amuro is performing the film's theme song "Dear Diary," as well as the insert song "Fighter." The film was shot in overseas locations, and Warner Brothers will distribute.
The film is a "forbidden sequel" to the two earlier live-action Death Note films, 2006's Death Note and Death Note: The Last Name. In the new film's story, a highly advanced information society is beset by global cyber-terrorism in 2016. New charismatic figures, who "inherited the DNA" of Light (previously played Tatsuya Fujiwara) and the detective L (Ken'ichi Matsuyama), emerge. The successors of the two geniuses will wage a war over six Death Notes on Earth.
