The Makers Of ‘Death Note’ Reassure Fans As The Live-Action Anime Adaptation Enters Production

For those not up on their manga, Death Note revolves around a high schooler named Light Yagami, who finds a notebook that will kill anybody whose name is written in its pages. Light starts using the book to strike down criminals and others he deems morally unfit, which naturally attracts attention of the police. It’s certainly a more twisted concept than what Hollywood usually dabbles in.
Netflix has announced that shooting has officially begun up in Canada . The movie is being helmed by acclaimed horror director Adam Wingard ( You’re Next , The Guest ) and stars Nat Wolff (The Fault in Our Stars ), Margaret Qualley (The Leftovers ), Keith Stanfield (Straight Outta Compton), Paul Nakauchi (Alpha and Omega), and Shea Whigham (Boardwalk Empire).

Death Note is expected to hit
Netflix sometime in 2017.
