Warner brings 'Death' to bigscreen Studio acquires rights to Japanese manga series By MICHAEL FLEMING 'Death Note' The 13-volume manga 'Death Note' is a bestseller in Japan and spawned three films. More Articles: Marcus Nispel takes a 'Voyage' Vilmos Zsigmond gets UCLA gig Canadian actors renew contract deal Navigating a shoot in Campania Tribeca honors international films PBS picks up Spike Lee's 'Strange' Warner Bros. has acquired rights to turn the Japanese manga series "Death Note" into a live-action film. Studio has hired screenwriters Charley and Vlas Parlapanides to adapt. Story centers on a college student who accidentally finds a misplaced "death note," infusing him with the power to kill merely by writing anyone's name on the page while picturing the person in his mind. The 13-volume manga is a bestseller in Japan, and the film will be drawn from the first three installments, written by Tsugumi Ohba and illustrated by Takeshi Obata for Shueisha Inc. Warner Bros. Pictures Japan made three Japanese-language "Death Note" films. The new pic will be drawn from the manga, not the previous movies. Vertigo's Roy Lee and Doug Davison will produce with Dan Lin's Lin Pictures and Brian Witten. The scribes wrote "War of the Gods" for Relativity Media and "Live Bet" for Universal. ends http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118003063.html?categoryid=13&cs=1 |

Kmccaskill, you're getting a warning. You have to stop the double posting and you've been told more than once to stop posting other LAA news in the DragonBall board. Anyways, interesting timing for this news to come right after the third movie finished its run here. I wonder how quick they plan on getting this done. |

I'm pretty excited for this. I'm also glad a competent studio got a hold of the rights instead of Fox who needs to stay far away from anime-to-film adaptations until Rothman exits the company. Anyway, Warner Brothers have been on a streak lately and hopefully everything works out with their LAA (Death Note, Ninja Scroll, Akira). Definitely good news! Can't wait for developments on this project. |

ohh god help us here comes the whole race thing again. while dragonball characters' ethnicity is quite uncertain, for DN i think that's not the case. quoting:
and that, i think, is interesting. on the other hand, Light is, as a matter of fact, Japanese. so, unless this is an americanization / transposition (a la romeo+juliet, ya know?) i'd personally want actors with the proper ethnicity. |

Omnia enim stolidi magis admirantur amantque, inversis quae sub verbis latitantia cernunt, veraque constituunt quae belle tangere possunt auris et lepido quae sunt fucata sonore. Indeed, the stupid most admire and love all that is scarcely discernible, hidden by abstruse words, and accept as true all things that sweetly caress the ear, and that are masked by a pleasant sound. --Titus Lucretius, De Rerum Natura, circa 80 B.C.--

I'm not even gonna get into the race debate. If there's one thing I've learned from Dragon Ball Evolution it's anything's possible. I'll be cheering for this film since it seems it's in good hands. |

Warner Bros gets a free pass on the race debate since they already produced a dn movie with Japanese actors, Wb wants dn to be the next ring, most likely light will be Light Winchester living in Brooklyn or Queens, Ny |

Since there is already a Japanese version I am not caring so much about the ethnicity of the characters or cast: I'd kind of just like to see a plain old hollywood remake of this one. |

Well they have to make a stand either way. The main focal point of much of the case, especially at the beginning, is that "kira" is in Japan. They can either go with that and keep the ethnicities true, or the more likely case, they will reverse it and make the whole thing based in the US. It just gets a little convoluted when they have to transpose the FBI investigation, flying to LA and back etc. etc. I have a feeling this is going to be tricky. |

Potential Actor For Light Has His HollyWood Status Raised After weeks of contract negotiations, the 'Gossip Girl' star officially signs on to play the lead role in the musical remake. Photo by Stephen Lovekin, Getty Images It's official! Chace Crawford will star in the "Footloose" remake, Paramount Pictures confirms to Usmagazine.com exclusively. "Chace Crawford will play the lead role of Ren McCormack in the film 'Footloose'," Paramount told Us Tuesday. The news is expected to be officially announced to trade publications Wednesday morning. See photos of stars on set. The actor has been considering the part for some time but had yet to officially sign until this week. He had been in contract negotiations and was struggling to make filming work around his "Gossip Girl" schedule, which is also due to start shooting its third season, a source told Us. Crawford was offered the lead role of Ren -- portrayed in the 1984 original by Kevin Bacon -- after Zac Efron dropped out of the project in March. Check out Chace's yearbook photo! The "High School Musical" star said the film "sort of" wasn't a good fit. "I want to grow a bit with the types of movies I want to make," he said in April. "It was more along the lines that I was looking for a new challenge, and this was another musical." Find out what your favorite "Gossip Girl" stars looked like as kids. "Footloose" will be produced and directed by "High School Musical" alum Kenny Ortega. Other stars who have auditioned recently for the movie, which is set to begin shooting in March 2010, include Hayden Panettiere, Amanda Bynes and "Dancing With the Stars" pro dancer Julianne Hough. http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/us-magazine-chace-crawford-footloose.html there is also internet buzz about him starring in the American remake of death note as a the lead, footloose could only raise his status in that regard |
