Check out the new Death Note trailer. From the Japanese manga hit series (written by Tsugumi Ohba and illustrated by Takeshi Obata) & the animated show, Death Note finally hits the US in this new Netflix series. What if you had the power to decide who lives and who dies? Be interesting if they keep the name of the Shinigami (“the death god” / “god of death” or “death spirit”) as Ryuk in this series. Love how the series only shows Ryuk’s eyes when it asks the question, “Shall we begin?”
From YouTube:
We suggest you obey the rules. Death Note follows a high school student who comes across a supernatural notebook, realizing it holds within it a great power; if the owner inscribes someone’s name into it while picturing their face, he or she will die. Intoxicated with his new godlike abilities, the young man begins to kill those he deems unworthy of life.
The Netflix original film is directed by Adam Wingard (Blair Witch, You’re Next) and stars Nat Wolff (Paper Towns), Margaret Qualley (The Leftovers), Lakeith Stanfield (Get Out), Paul Nakauchi (Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End), Shea Whigham (American Hustle) and Willem Dafoe (Spider-Man).
Death Note will premiere exclusively on Netflix on August 25th.
