Thank you. Hollywood kills at special effects. Realistically, if one gets one's head out of the box, this isn't a story that has to take place in Japan at all. Yes, the original was made in Japan, but is there any reason Ryuk couldn't drop that book anywhere in the world? France? Sweden? Russia? Yes, the majority of the cast is Japanese because that's how the writer wrote it. But couldn't the idea of a book that kills work anywhere? We don't have to keep genii stories in the middle east, do we? We have vampires all over the world. The plus side of this story is if it does well, they can either pursue Ryuk doing just that-dropping it somewhere, someplace else(look at Saw) or going after L's other casework. In most detective novels, it is the detective that takes off, inspiring scores of sequels. This aspect is likely a huge selling point to the movie company |

I did see the subtitled version of L: Change the WorLd, and I'd say there definitely is a language barrier problem. Yes, Matsuyama spoke a lot of English in the movie, but he didn't exactly speak it very clearly most of the time....I kind of wished all the 'English' had been subtitled as well  I doubt they would want to cast someone whose English would be difficult for most people to understand.

Thank you for reminding me of Sukiyaki Western Django... As for why I said it, ,yes Matsuyama's english fumbles at best, but compared to the other Japanese actors speaking english in Change The WorLd, he sounded like he was born in the US. |

I'm sure that Warner Bros. will do a good job at adapting the Deathnote movie, because they did such a good job adapting the comics they own, as in Batman, I just hope they'll get a director and writer who will actually understand what they're doing. I wonder if they'll Americanize stuff or not.

Can you elaborate on that? I'm just curious... A little fanservice to the audience, and not a lot of voice actors get the respect they deserve... |
