Imagine
this, a high budget Death Note film, made by the legendary director Shane
black, being produced in Hollywood and being seen on the big screen. Wouldn't
it be amazing? Other Death Note fans don't think so.
Japan
has made a low budget Death Note movies and live action series in the past and it was an absolute hit.
Many
people loved finally seeing Japan's number one anime on the big screen and
wanted more.
Once
Warner bros announced that they were going to release a Death Note American
movie, fans were furious and said things like:
"The
Japanese live action was all we needed, Hollywood has ruined other anime's by
making movies that don't even resemble the original work. Who’s to say that
they won't ruin Death Note."
Fans
are arguing with each other, saying their reasons for why it should or
shouldn't be made, but I'm going to tell you why Hollywood SHOULD make a DeathNote live action movie.
I
have many reasons for my contention, one of the reasons is being that there is
a strong chance that the amazing actor, Zach Efron will be playing the main
role in the movie. In Zach’s previous roles, he has proven to all audiences
that he is a great actor of brilliant precautions.
Zach
Efron has 19 wins and 19 nominations in his film business. Some of these awards
were winning a Hollywood film award in 2007 for the movie, hairspray, he won
critics choice award also for the movie hairspray, won best male performance in
2009 and favourite dramatic actor in 2013.
Having
him in the movie will surely make it a lot better and attract more people to
watch (especially girls who are Zach Efron fans).
Secondly,
the director of Iron man 3, Shane Black, will be working on this film. In
Shane’s latest film Iron Man 3, he has proven that he is capable of making
realistic CGI effects and will use that to his full potential for the Death
Note movie. Surely the Japanese version of the live action was “good enough” as
some critical fans describe it but that was only a low budget film. With the
skills and money of Hollywood producer Shane Black, he would make all the
graphics look amazing and extremely realistic.
My
final reason is the director of the soon to be blockbuster film, has positive
feelings towards the manga. Generally when someone enjoys doing something, they
will put a lot of effort into what they’re doing. This will mean that he will
put in 110% effort into making this movie as fantastic as the manga and anime.
In an interview he stated:
“It’s my favourite manga. I was struck by its unique and brilliant
sensibility.”
With
this quote other fans and I will look forwards to the live action.
In
conclusion Warner Bros should continue making the movie because of the
possibility of Zach Efron being contracted with Warner Bros for the main role
and the brilliant director of Iron man 3, Shane Black is directing it and will
surely make it up to the fan’s standards.
