In late summer, video streaming service Netflix will at long last be releasing its originally produced live-action Death Note movie, the latest branch of the multimedia juggernaut that began as a manga in 2003 before becoming an anime, then both live-action film and TV drama series in Japan.
The video streaming giant took the rights to a live-action Death Note movie…and made it!
There’s no specific mention made anywhere of Death Note’s anime or manga roots, nor of the franchise’s country of origin.
Death Note is set to start streaming on Netflix on August 25, and should it be a hit, maybe one day we’ll get to hear Dafoe singing “Pen-Pineapple-Apple-Pen.”
