Death Note protagonist Yagami Light

Written by Tsugumi Ohba and illustrated by Takeshi Obata, Death Note was originally published in Japan and later collected in 12 trade paperbacks that have sold more than 38 million copies worldwide. The protagonist, Light, is a bright student who stumbles across a mystical notebook that has the power to kill any person whose name he writes in it. Light decides to launch a secret crusade to rid the streets of criminals. Soon, the student-turned-vigilante finds himself pursued by a famous FBI criminal profiler known only by the alias L. Death Note is wildly popular in Japan and has been turned into live action and animated films, an animated TV series, novels and vidgames. The trio of live action films were distributed by Warner Bros Japan. Warner Bros acquired the manga rights from Shueisha and previously got a script draft from Charley and Vlas Parlapanides.

Shane Black will direct Death Note live-action feature film

Warner Bros. has hired Shane Black (Lethal Weapon, Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang) to direct the studio's live-action feature film version of the Japanese manga, Death Note. 

According to Deadline, Black will also "oversee" the script that's being written by his Doc Savage colleagues Anthony Bagarozzi and Charles Mondry. 

"It's my favorite manga, I was just struck by its unique and brilliant sensibility," Black told Deadline. "What we want to do is take it back to that manga, and make it closer to what is so complex and truthful about the spirituality of the story, versus taking the concept and trying to copy it as an American thriller. [Warner Bros. execs] Jeff Robinov and Greg Silverman liked that." 

In Japan, Death Note has beget live-action and animated films, as well as an animated series, video games and books. 

The U.S. movie will be produced by Dan Lin, Roy Lee, Doug Davison and Brian Witten.
