Death Note, now in Hollywood?

===
Way back in the early 21st Century, a young Japanese genious found a small notebook lying about on the street and made doodles. Little did he realize that whatever name he wrote, that person dies.

With it, a series of unexplained incidents of mass deaths rose, creating mass hysteria and unspeakable cults, worshiping someone who simply calls himself Kira on the internet.

Fanatics called it the day of rapture, a moment where all the evils in the world are thus cleansed away.

And then, after all the foray and manhunt, everything ended quite suddenly.

No one really knew the whole story. All they knew are two names: Kira, and L.

No one that is if you hadn't read "Death Note."

Or have at least watched the TV series or the two movies
(which to me are equally good)


So after the trend and a lot of *ahem* pirated merchandising, Death Note came to a close and was replaced by a bunch of colorful costumed kids who think of themselves as ninjas.

Well word has it that Death Note might make a comeback. This time on Hollywood and care of none other than Warner Brothers, the same producers of the Batman franchise and "Superman Returns".
Being a fan myself, I think it's a bad idea. Given with all the incessant, tired and old formulas Hollywood infest on many of their adaptations, like that stupid ending of "I am Legend," and that lousy adaptation of "Dragonball Z," I say this is one the fans, even the franchise, should watch carefully, less Ryuk brings in a new carrier and write all the names of these producers down.

But on the bright side, some names came up in the internet that might bring justice to the roles of Yagami Light and L.

So until Hollywood brings in the casting call, might as well look up some of the suggested names...

Byte me now...



Why not?


Yeah, can be a good excuse for Misa.


Oh, hell no!

And for Ryuk...
Whoops!

Umm... How did that picture get here?
