Desu Noto - (English - Death Note!)
Hey Everyone! I spend very little time here in the horror movie forum, however I am EXTREMELY excited about the recently released theatrical movie "Death Note" The movie is based off of the japanese manga of the same name, with part one released earlier this month, and the sequel later this year.
The plot is as follows: Shinigami own notebooks called “Death Notes” which are used as killing devices. Whoever’s name they write down in a death note will die within 40 seconds. Shinigami Ryuku accidentally dropped his Death Note in the human world where it’s found by honor high school student Raito. With the death note actually having directions in it for its use, Raito discovers he now has the power to discreetly kill people, and with this new power he plans to change the world in his ideal world by killing off criminals. Eventually the governments of the countries around the world notice the unusual amounts of deaths of their criminals, and figure out someone is behind them, but they have no way of discovering it themselves. That’s when they hire L, a master detective, to find out who is behind the murders.
Its released primarily in japan, with the main theme being "Dani California" by the red hot chili peppers. I'm really hoping it comes over sees, or is available somehow on the computer later this year. Let me know what you guys think.
Here's a kinda crappy trailer from youtube. Unfortunately it's only in japanese with no subtitles. Oh well.
