Live Action Death Note Movie In Schererville Next Week
I’ve been watching this anime called “Death Note” for a while now, and I really like it. It’s about this college student, Light Yagami, who suddenly finds a way to kill people only by writing their names in a notebook. He’s a certified genius, so his master plan is to use the notebook to wipe out all criminals, thus creating a Utopia in Japan, with himself as the ruler. The notebook is actually a Death Note, which are normally carried by “Gods of Death” in the spirit-world. Once Light activates the Death Note, he inherits himself a God of Death, “Ryuk”, who walks him through the myriad rules associated with the Death Note. The plot actually gets pretty deep, and there are lots of twists and turns along the way.
What I didn’t know is that there was a live-action Death Note movie made in Japan in 2006. This would seem like the kind of thing that would go straight to video here in the States, but it turns out that it is making a limited run at select theaters. I watched the movie trailer online and it looks like they might be able to pull it off. I believe that this one will be a set-up for “Death Note 2″, giving this one a cliffhanger ending, but I’m still interested to see how closely the movie follows the anime. Luckily, the limited run is in English, and it sounds like the voice actors from the American version of the TV show did the dubbing. It will be at the Showplace 12 in Schererville on Tuesday and Wednesday only, so I think that I’ll be going.
