Death Note | official trailer #1 (2017) Netflix

official trailer for Death Note
What if you had the power to decide who lives and who dies?

We suggest you obey the rules. Based on the famous Japanese manga written by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata, Death Note follows a high school student who comes across a supernatural notebook, realizing it holds within it a great power; if the owner inscribes someone's name into it while picturing their face, he or she will die. Intoxicated with his new godlike abilities, the young man begins to kill those he deems unworthy of life.

The Netflix original film is directed by Adam Wingard (Blair Witch, You’re Next) and stars Nat Wolff (Paper Towns), Margaret Qualley (The Leftovers), Lakeith Stanfield (Get Out), Paul Nakauchi (Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End), Shea Whigham (American Hustle) and Willem Dafoe (Spider-Man). Death Note will premiere exclusively on Netflix on August 25th.

"original film by Netflix" it's not an original if it's an adaption Netflix

[drmarythefae]

let us ignore the cast for a moment...WHY IN THE WORLD IS LIGHT RUNNING FROM THE POLICE THAT GUY BARELY EVEN MOVED!! THATS THE WHOLE POINT NO ONE SUSPECTED HIM BECAUSE HE WAS CALM!!!

[shadowprincessnami]

I wanted to see Ryuk.... ☹️ also I feel like they're trying to make this more action packed than it should be. L vs. Light is a battle of wits not fists. The tone of this trailer suggests an action crime drama instead of a supernatural crime drama.

[hamidrezashahabadi]

They have the director the 2016 Blair Witch and the writer of the 2015 Fantastic 4 (Fant4stic)
There's no hope

[venus]

better idea: drop this idea and put the actual anime on netflix and not this shit

[shocalaste]

he doesnt have the air of being Light..well light is supposed to be a genius and a neat person in the manga i mean he was the perpect student on the outside..why do i fell like he's the exact oppsite of him in this trailer..

[monox_live]

Why do I feel like this is gonna be another dragon ball evolution

[qwerpoiuROX]

Why is he still called Kira? Thought it was just Kira in Japanese because that's how they say "killer" lol

[rosieavocadoe]

BUT PROPS TO RYUK'S VOICE I THINK THEY CAME THROUGH WITH HIS VOICE!

[ahsjdinfbskagsjdkdienbs]

They better not dumb Light down to make some dumb action series. That's not what deathnote is and it shouldn't ever be that way.

[cesarherrera]

"Based on the international phenomenon".

Weird form to say Manga

[GOTHICforLIFE]

Let's just hope it's not another Dragon Ball...

[tylercorrell]

Why isn't he Ashton Kutcher like the original plan? Looks more like Light.

[edenetc]

The only part I liked about it was when it was over.

[blastjarna]

I don't care if the actor is asian or not, I'm just a bit concerned how they made this complex story into a movie without completely changing it.

[amvdynasty]

Light Yagami is supposed to be an upright student not a goth dude with dyed hair. The chosen actor already doesn't fit the description.

[actualtrash]

That awkward moment when you don't recognize anything even though you love death note.

[quackerzsis]

America, stop ruining shit. He SHOULD have been Japanese, because that's what he was in the source material.

[TheFoxiest]

I don't get it is this supposed to be after light dies and the death note gets passed down or did they just Percy Jackson the whole show

[TheHolton]

"Guys you know how the story takes place in the kanto region of Japan?
Instead of that what if we had it in Seattle!"
" Mark that idea is terrible and I am completely on board let's ruin this series"
