Death Note Movie “Not On Front Burner”
Teen heart-throb Zac Efron (High School Musical) answered a question during a recent interview with Collider.com concerning his involvment in the upcoming American remake of the Death Note movie:
“I love Death Note, and we were, kind of, working on it right now. You know, it’s not…it’s definitely not something that would be coming up soon. [Turns to Me and Orson Welles director Richard Linklater] What’s the classic answer, Rick? ‘It’s not on the front burner.’ No, no, it’s something that was … I feel like, regardless of whatever I say, it’s going to be [interpreted by th media to be] my next movie. No, it’s not. It was an idea. Who knows? I had a meeting on it.”
What a front burner is, I don’t know. But it appears that the Death Note movie is on the “back burner” for the time being. If you remember, Efron said he had shown interest in starring ina Full Metal Panic live action movie, but that didn’t work out either. Vertigo Entertainment is behind the remake of the Death Note movie, and so far not much else has been revealed. And it seems with Efron’s comments, we may be waiting a while until we hear more.

Kay, this is starting to turn out pretty lame… Let’s hope that Efron is what he claims to be, a manga fan, and hopefully he doesn’t fuck this up, because the leaked script seemed far too disappointing in that the changes made the film cease to be Death Note, so let’s just keep our fingers crossed on the issue.
I would love to see efron in it! What 9 year old is gonna have a crush on a killer now?
