Live Action Anime

Thanks go to forum member kmccaskill for finding this bit of news.

News of an American Death Note LAA has been kicking about for a while, and now it appears that a draft of the movie’s script, penned by Charley and Vlas Parlapanides, has been leaked online. You can check it out at this link:

It’s labelled “First Draft”, dated April 7th, 2009, and copyrighted to Warner Bros. This is, obviously unofficial, but judging by the presentation and general quality, it certainly appears to be genuine. Apart from transposing the action to America and removing Ryuk from the proceedings, it’s also remarkably faithful in spirit to the original source material. Watch this space.
