Death Note Gets New Netflix Live-Action Series by Stranger Things Creators

Duffer Brothers' adaptation to be new take from Netflix's previous live-action film

Entertainment news website Deadline reported on Wednesday that Matt Duffer and Ross Duffer (Stranger Things), also known as the Duffer Brothers, are working on a new live-action series adaptation of Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata's Death Note manga with Netflix at their newly formed studio Upside Down Pictures. Deadline states that this will be a "new take" from Netflix's previous live-action Death Note film (pictured right).

Netflix released a live-action Death Note film by director Adam Wingard in August 2017. It stars Nat Wolff as Light Turner, Keith Stanfield as L, Margaret Qualley as Mia Sutton, Willem Dafoe as the voice of Ryuk, Paul Nakauchi as Watari, and Shea Whigham as James Turner.

In Ohba and Obata's original 2003-2006 supernatural suspense manga, teenager Light Yagami finds a notebook with which he can put people to death by writing their names. He begins a self-anointed crusade against the criminals of the world, and a cat-and-mouse game begins with the authorities and one idiosyncratic genius detective.

The manga inspired a 37-episode television anime series in 2006-2007.

To be fair, the last movie was Netflix buying an abandoned project from Warner Brothers to bolster their library, and presumably they ditched it seeing the writing on the wall. This time might go better for them.

Not going there no matter how many Duffers they pour into it.

They did say that the previous movie was going to get a sequel movie that would be more faithful to the Manga.

A new series could work if they, ya know, actually used the source material this time.

WB has licensing to Death Note to the Japanese live action movie and TV Series could someone explain why it never got release in United States for streaming or Blu-Ray?

If you mean like the 2006 movie, that is on Blu-ray in the U.S. It was released on Blu-ray through Viz Media in a movie collection release. Note: Warner Brothers Distributes Viz Media titles. But then later after the license expired, Funimation rescued it on Blu-ray but it lacks the English Dub that use the Anime Voice Cast dubbing over the Live Action that the Viz Media Blu-ray had on it.

I still don't understand the obsession with death note. No version of it is particularly good. Yeah, you heard me anime and manga fans. Death Not has always been overrated.

[Shingster]

Bit odd to read through a 12 volume manga you're not enjoying.

Even though this will probably be a failure, it'll incentivize viewers to watch the original series. I friggin' loved it,

[Show spoiler]but expected an ideal ending

Bit odd to think its a particularly difficult endeavor to read a short manga like death note. Its not exactly wheel of time. You can get the whole series in one volume. Nor did I say it was garbage. It's just not very good. You've never finished something you found only passable, hoping it'd get better?

[Shingster]

It's a twelve volume manga. It's not "short" nor is it long. You can't get the whole series in one volume. Not really bothered whether you love or hate it, but you seem particularly proud enough about not enjoying it to kinda signal it out to the world as a sort of challenge for flaming, so my response is basically: "whatever bro, you could have stopped reading it 6hrs in and gotten on with your life".

I only finish something that I find passable if it was good enough for me to be invested in it for some time before the quality declined. Like Bleach for instance after the Soul Society arc and it turned to crap. I don't keep watching something I never enjoyed from the start, life's too short.

I haven't read the manga, though I do own it. I should get on that.

I've seen some of the anime. I enjoyed the live-action Japanese films. I never watched the Netflix one.

I'm totally up for a new version! Considering what the Duffer Brothers have done with Stranger Things, they're a great choice! They can do whatever they want at this point, and no one was really clamoring for more Death Note, so I assume they're fans of the property to seek it out.

P.S. If this is a hit, how many kids are going to get arrested for having Death Note-style notebooks in school? My cousin got one for his birthday last year, and I told him to never take it to school!

I know back when the series was airing on Adult Swim there were a bunch of kids that got Suspended or even Expelled from School because both the kids making the Death Note and the Teachers don’t seem to understand that the Death Note is a Supernatural book. Meaning if the kid with the Death Note goes after the people they hate in person your really just making a Hit List not a Death Note situation which ruins the point of the Supernatural nature of the series.
