Zac Efron as Light / Samuel L Jackson as L Death Note Cast

Do you want Zac Efron as Light? Do you want Samuel L Jackson as L? There are persistent rumors flying around that these two actors will play the roles of the aforementioned anime characters. I can see Zac Efron as Light though I think the latter should be taller. I think the guy that will play L should be in his twenties except of course if Hollywood wants to revise the story altogether. This is the second time Zac Efron's name has been linked to a live-action anime remake - the first one is in Full Metal Panic although he denied he was ever offered the role.

Stay tuned!

Death Note Live Action Movie / Not Another Live Action

Man, Hollywood will do a Death Note Live Action movie. The live-action remake rights were acquired by Warner Bros. according to internet reports.

Death Note is a Japanese manga about a high school student named Light Yagami who discovers a notebook which kills anyone whose name was written on it. Hunting him down is a mysterious detective called L.

Death Note has three live-action movie remakes and an anime show in Japan. In the US version, the internet report states the protagonist will be in college.
