Not that bad name changes desu

>Adam Wingard
Oh cool. I'm so in.
>that cast
Oh no.

>Keith Stanfield (Straight Outta Compton) as “L"

oh lawd

>animu getting BLACKED

Yeah, this is gonna be wack

Will L still be autistic? An autistic nigger would be pretty interesting.

>it's another Sup Forums chimps out over a black actor thread

I would never have guessed

I don't really give a shit about Death Note but The Guest was the purest form of kino so I have faith in Wingard

Sup Forumseddit*

>Keith Stanfield (Straight Outta Compton) as “L"
are they fucking insane?

I'm guessing he'll be edgy. Sort of like Me Robot but with OCD tendencies.

See what I mean >The Guest was the purest form of kino
Subhuman Sup Forums scum with not taste at all

ok, a black L *could* work, but he HAS to be "L". meaning, he has to dress like a bum, look like shit, and be eccentric.

t. weaboo who is mad his favorite anime is getting blacked

So Ryuk is gonna be full CGI or what? It seems like they're completely trying to westernize the film so I don't really mind the black L.

As long as Misa/Mia is in slutty goth attire, I'm happy.

>implying he wont get the Jimmy Olsen treatment

Niggers aren't smart.

>Margaret Qualley (The Leftovers) as Mia Sutton
I like Jill Garvey. I hope its watchable just for her careerwise.

>black L
And this thread is destined to be a complete shitshow.

I don't think they'll have the money to go full CG. It'll be a combination of make up/costume and CG

>Make all the asians white, but make the one white guy black

Didn't the director or producers say they didn't want to have Ryuk at all?

>Keith Stanfield (Straight Outta Compton) as “L
shiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeee

Well this is happening

It's about $50 million. Enough for some cg creature. Might just put him in dark lighting to make it look real.

It'd be cool if they did what Where the Wild Things Are by combining both cg and costumes.

Literally MAD: the kid

are they gonna incorporate THAT plotline? smdh

>based Wingard

aww shit the soundtrack is gonna be killer

t. Sup Forumsedditor that doesn't know sweet fuck about cinema

>netflix
>they make a 12 hour story a movie
why god youre fucking netflix for fucks sake

In probably 6 years, the kid will either be too old or fizzled out from fame.

Hi dumblr.

He already mentioned he's got some tracks lined up. So stoked.

That would be pretty fucking retarded in an even halfway faithful adaptation. The shinigami are an instrumental part Light's plan and he would've been caught by L without them. Leaving them out would be a huge disappointment.

Hi meme tourist.

If they find a way to fix the low point between the death of L and the death of Light's dad then it could possibly work.

god I hope not the second half of the story is shit. they gotta rewrite that just jump straight from L's death to the end, strip the story down to it's basics, it's just a cat & mouse thriller with supernatural elements. Do that.

damn it's that high, cool. I heard Wingard say Netflix gives him shit ton of freedom, high budget and they don't give a shit if it's R rated. this gon b gud

I think what makes You're Next and The Guest so good tho is the creative collaboration of Simon Barrett and Wingard, he's not writing this so maybe it's not that good. Hopefully they do something together again after this.

Hey I don't know for sure, that's just something I heard a while ago.

This is going to be garbage, but we luckily have the Japanese live action adaptations.

>that second spoiler
I'm glad I'm not the only one who liked that scene. I also enjoyed Mello killing all of the SPK in front of Near.

Hollywood had to find a way for a black guy to die in this flim

dude that was garbage

But even japs consider those garbage

If you mean L, what evidence suggests he's white?

>japanese live action death note

Yeah I thought the second half of the series vastly improved once Light took over things and they begin introducing his new accomplices, and I thought the book handled the transition from L to Near and Mello a bit more smoothly.

honestly I'll rather see a black dude as live action L, the pale skinned emo dude thing would look really lame

More than half of what made death note good was the god tier soundtrack. Listening to it now, the melancholy tracks never fail affect my mood, it's like my brain remembers what I felt listening to the ost for the first time while watching the anime and makes the connection.
It's like smelling a dish your mom made you as a child and remembering home, even though the food wasn't great, you can't help but being filled with emotion.

If a black guy is L I'll bet there's a scene where he says "We wuz detectives 'n shit!" and then It Ain't Me starts playing and he strikes a CIA power pose and a fucking plane crashes in the background with a Michael Bay-like spectacle.

It's gotten so predictable.

As long as he can do the creepy eyes, why not.

>First of Light's murders make waves in the international community
>Scene cuts to INTERPOL
>Old white men are bickering in a fluorescent lit room, assessing how to handle the "KIRA" case
>"We dont have anyone qualified to-"
>Door opens
>"You do now."
>In walks Laquan "L" King, a troubled youth who used his street smarts and edge to get into law enforcement after witnessing the brutal murder of his brother/father to cop-related racial violence
>he's wearing skinny jeans, workman boots, his beats by DRE headphones are blaring techno-trap music, his flatbill has the iconic "L" lettering on it
>"Ay yo hol up. Only way you gonna catch a killer...is to be a killer."
>he smirks at the blonde secretary who gives a knowing wink and nod to his crotch

>Keith Stanfield (Straight Outta Compton) as “L,”
WE WUZ DETECTIVES N SHIT

Wingard's movies always have some great music I trust he'll get some good shit for DN too

youtube.com/watch?v=sFuivL-ewW4

youtube.com/watch?v=v_mRN1hKFIY

just get Steve Moore to score this and I'll cum

...

>Margaret Qualley
I can live with that
>Ogga McBooga as L
Oh no

>Light is a Jew and the smartest detective in the universe is a nigger

Can you imagine the foot drying scene with a black guy submissively wiping some white dude's feet? SJW's will flip.

I'm actually more bothered by this than nergoman playing L. What the fuck, Light is supposed to be a 10/10 perfection both physically and intellectually, this is part of the reason why he becomes Kira in the first place - the game is too rigged in his favour and ultimately it bores him. This wimpy looking cuck would be bullied in school all day, are they going for 'angry school shooter' angle in murrikan adaptation?

>Adam Wingard
ok
>Nat Wolf
FUCK NO FUCK NO FUUUUCK OFFFFFFF FUUUUUUUUUUUUCKKKKKK YYYYYYOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
>Margaret Qualley
nice
>Snoop from Straight Outta Compton
lmao more like smokin Ls
>Paul Nakauchi
who? whatever
>Shea Whigham
based

so if they're shooting now this'll come out 2017? noice

>Keith Stanfield (Straight Outta Compton) as “L
>He's character has not being said yet guys! He won't be L

Yeah sure, into the trash as speed of Raito it goes.

Shea Whigham and Margaret Qualley are the only good ones in that cast.

I don't know about "L" being black. As someone's who's black, never in my life have I imagined someone black being similar to "L" in any fashion. It really doesn't sit right with me. Do blacks who give off the 'emo yet intellectual' vibe even exist?

>favour
wtf eww

>not just casting willem dafoe as ryuk

There are several reasons why this is doomed to be shit. Can't wait.

I've seen an image of some porn where this very intellectual looking black guy is staring into the camera while getting a blowjob or something. They should cast him.

>As someone's who's black
nigger

kill all niggers

We gave you welfare atleast stay away from our movies nignogs

That would be super awesome.

He is from England, and the creator confirmed he is white anyway

>that part where L chains himself to Light

>When asked about L's ethnicity, creator of the series Tsugumi Ohba responded, "I think of him as a quarter Japanese, a quarter English, a quarter Russian, a quarter French or Italian, like that."
So he could be anything, although if most of his aliases are Japanese then that suggests he's more Japanese than not.

I know this is confirmed, but how the hell would a white kid pass for someone named Hideki Ryuga at a Jap school?

Don't you know that all white characters from comic books / books, must be portrayed by a ethnic minority aka black man, in the movie version?

Jesus christ, it's 2016, you racist.

It's 2016 guys, what would Krager think?

>When asked about L's ethnicity, creator of the series Tsugumi Ohba responded, "He's not a nigger. So solly."

...

I am pretty sure a detective who keeps his identity hidden would choose aliases that are unrelated to his racial makeup.

>nigger
>nigger

jesus, why is this thread so Sup Forums? unless it's the same person.

>black guy as L
Fuck OFF.

>jesus, why is this thread so Sup Forums? unless it's the same person.
real people hate niggers
get over it

His true name is Lawliet. Sure sounds japanese

>black guy
>world's smartest Detective

next they will cast a woman for the role of world's biggest dick

This is going to be garbage.

Transwomen exist user. The worlds tallest woman is trans, we exist deal with it.

That's issue is that Simon brings that post modern, cynical attitude and this movie has like 6 diff writers. That could be a problem.

Collider already listed the Amurica version of the names and revealed that he's playing L. Plus he posted obvious shit on his Twitter.

>implying they're going to follow the show

They're gonna butcher it and do whatever they fucking want with it, probably have black L catch light and fuck his bitch.

I can't wait for this scene

So you be sayin we wuz detective n sht?

Will they have the foot massage scene? Otherwise not watching it

>Laquan "L" King

>implying he wont be a hip hacker dude

>L is black

Erza was made for that role. What is wrong with them?

>black L
wont be watching.

There's absolutely no way it won't suck shit, Death Note has too many scenes that just wouldn't work in LA shit, even with Wingards meme direction
youtube.com/watch?v=9PTzJ9EveMs

He's being Flash... Why jewish castings directors are so bad nowdays? Noone fits their roles anymore.

This can't be adapted into a movie, the Japanese versions already proved it. There's just way too many important things going on that can't be stripped down to fit into a 2 hour movie. The whole reason this anime was so good is because of how long the cat and mouse game they played took. If they take that out then it's just another shitty crime/detective movie with some supernatural bullshit. They shouldn't even bother.
