Here's the plot outline:

Light Yagami is a brilliant student who has led a boring a life.
One day he found a strange notebook titled "Death Note" lying on the ground.
After realizing that the book was Death-God's tool to kill anyone whose name was written on its pages, Light decided to use it to rid the world of evil.

Soon unexplainable deaths of reported criminals caused Light to be hunted by the Japanese police and a mysterious detective known as "L".
L discovers that the murderer can kill just by knowing someone's face and name.

Light realizes that L is just as cunning, if not more intelligent than himself, and begins a cat and mouse chase with L to see who will be the first to have their identities exposed.

There have been buzz in the cannes film festival that this film may be distributed outside japan. After all WB acquired the rights for it. But we still have to wait and see. It's not 100% sure....

Yup..
hope <Death Note> gets to be shown in cinemas worlwide,
since its by Warner Bros n the viewership (movie n manga) is real good.

Either that or it will be directly released as DVD / VCD, which is wat usually happens to Jpn movies in Singapore.
<NANA> is an example.

Here's its official Jpn website >>>
http://wwws.warnerbros.co.jp/deathnote/

A nicely-done website, with a lot of Macro-Flash.
I like the movie poster, very stylish and a bit creepy,
with Fujiwara Tatsuya as black & Matsuyama Kenichi as white.

As the trailer goes... Try n catch me. Try n kill me.
Genius vs Genius.
Whoever leads this battle of wits will lead the new world.

I hope so, but I'm not so optimistic as you. WB doesn't mean nothing.

Maybe I'll just download it, if it has a seed already. I mean the first movie.
