I heard about this some time ago; what a freaking disaster. The manga, animated series, and live-action films that already exist are so good, so well-made ... and damnit, SO Japanese in story and tone, any American remake is just gonig to be awful beyond belief. As Kim Novak said in the film "The Mirror Crack'd": I could eat a can of Kodak and PUKE a better movie!
DON'T MESS WITH GREATNESS; LEAVE "DEATH NOTE" ALONE!!
