Probably not the real poster.


So apparently The first draft of the american death note movie has been leaked. Here's a link to the 112 page PDF file for those willing to test their sanity.
(mod may remove the link of they feel it violates a rule.)

I haven't read the whole script myself yet, but notable changes include the complete removal of Ryuk from the script, Light's name has been changed to Luke, and a heavily altered ending. For reference, here's a cap of what's essentially the last page.

That's the news, now it's personal opinion time.

What the fuck have they done to Light's character?

Continuing to read the script now, will post as I read.

Wow, holy shit, does this script completely miss the ball of the anime. Luke remains good throughout the entire god damn story. He lives. He buries the death note in cement. God dammit.

still going through page by page now.

Luke Murray - Light Yagami

Sophia (Luke's girlfriend) - I guess there's no Japanese counterpart for her

Sarah Murray (Luke's sister) - Sayu Yagami

Captain John Murray - Soichiro Yagami

Watari and L remain the same.

WTF
STOP RENAMING CHARACTERS! WHAT ARE YOU? 4KIDS?

My "WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY" remains, accompanied by a loud painful "ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRG".

Although..... I dunno. I'll have to actually see it to see if I like it or not.
Spoiler :
I kind of was sad when Kira died, and I hated his God complex. Even though that was what MADE the show, it might be nice to see it gone.

Even if it ain't the real poster, the earth is in the shape of an apple, and Ryuk loves apples. What is Death Note without Ryuk? :?

He becomes a lawyer. :|


Of course this is just a first draft. Still, light's corruption and prophetic
Spoiler :
death
was almost nessiscary to the whole structure and mood of the original. It's the nature of bittersweet endings. They don't sit well, that's why we remember them. :book:

If that's what they do to his character, then they obviously didn't get the point/didn't care.

I really like that manga and how it showcases the slow, corruption of Light's youthful idealism. (And by contrast, human nature based on what stage in life the person's at, who comes across the book.)

A mod removed the link I had in the OP, So I'm going to have to go with no.

-So luke\light's still a genius, but he's tardy and often misses class.

-He's taking the batman approach to motivation, being spurred by seeing the murder of his mother when he was young

-Replacing ryuk as the dropper of supernatural plot information seems to be an elderly japanese fish monger.
