Movie Adaptation + Obata Art Book
It's been rumored for a while (first time I heard about this news from trust worthy site is December 25) but I think it is finally confirmed:

Death Note Info from Weekly Shonen Jump issue 8:
- Weekly Shonen Jump issue 8 (1/23) will announce Death Note's live action movie adaptation. There will be two movies: first one on June, second one on October.
- Obata Takeshi Art Book "blank et noir" will be released on May 2. There will be seven extra items such as figure and copied original art. Limited version, DEATH BOX, will be released at same time.

well ive studied copyright so i know what to twist :)

calling it 'the notebook' would sound so much better for a western audience. not to mention i want the notebook to look like a plain notebook with a black cover.

of course, who would forget to credit the original creator as well XD

But The Notebook is already the name of a popular romance movie. You wouldn't want to get the two confused. :>

that is another selling point.
there are movies which are sometimes called the same which are like years apart.

but end game, if that really is a problem then might as well just call it 'notebook' or some other more less cheesy name like 'death note' XD

i put that message in babel fish and it came out to this

"The ま じ we want stopping, (= Д =; ; ; ; ;) L there is no expectation where the human of this society can actualize suitablly! (; Д; ) No"

haha i kinda get the wat your saying and i agree....if im correct at guessing what your saying that is....
i'm afraid that the cast of the movie would dissapoint me or the movie just wont live up to the manga.
but aside from that i just can't wait

hahah gotta love those faces

Yeah, it's gonna stink. ;A; I can tell! I've never seen a young Japanese actor who doesn't suck TAT

Like who could they get to play L that I won't hate? ;A; I love L the way he is ;A; If they're going to announce it next Jump I guess they must be serious though.. ;A; Dammit.

Sounds interesting, although personally I would prefer an anime. I hope the movie won't turn out to be an uber cheesy remake of the manga... That would simply kill me.

no, don't wanna have a movie >_< anime's so much better >o<
well, alright, i'll watch it anyway xD but i don't think there'll be any actor i'd be satisfied with...
whereas the voice's are pretty fitting most times...
anime's better.
