Probably, but think about it positively: Light makes a deal with demons and he pays for it in the end. Of course, the view of death in this world is decidedly non-Christian, but I think you see my point (a rather small one).

" wrote:Q: What is the big difference between Manga and Movie?
A: In the movie, Ray's fiance, Misora Naomi, will be playing acitve role more than Manga. Maybe we could say she's a key person that'll be associating with Kira case from different aspect than Manga. Also, we developed her character since Seto Asaka, whose mood is similar to Naomi, will be playing her on the movie.
Q: How's CG going for Ryuk?
A: We're still creating it. Reliable staff are creating it, so I'm sure he'll be a real Ryuk. By the way, during the film shooting, we placed a doll which is 2.5 meter and pretended that's CG'd Ryuk. It was very hard to carry around this Ryuk, lol.
Q: What did you care about Light and L's reproduction?
A: We paid attention to make them look like the manga. We dyed Fujiwara-san's hair and started to create the role from visual aspect. On the other hand, Matsuyama-san started from the way to sit. Also, when speaking, he'll ignore the punctuation and talk. I thought L not thinking anything about his listener would fit his role well, lol.
Arrow: When Fujiwara-san dyed his hair, he could easily became Light. Matsuyama-san's ultimating L-sitting.
Q: Why did you put in the original character, Akino Shiori?
A: When I read the manga all at once, I was amazed that Light is really a bad guy! Rather, it was almost impressive. In order to deliver this Light's badness to the audience, Shiori, Light's childhood friend, was needed. Please look forward to her activities in the movie.
Q: Is there anything you were particular about when shooting?
A: I was particular about visuals like action scenes (ie. bus jack) and details of the settings. Light's room turned out pretty good, as you can see on the home page, lol. At first, it had boom box, but I replaced it with a vacuum cleaner. It'd probably show more of Light's clean freak part.
Arrow: In the movie, it'll have surveillance camera scene that L suggested. Directer said it took long time to shoot the surveillance camera scene.
Q: What's the ending of the movie?
A: We respects the original but also dramatized a little. It has the original ending. Of course, this will be an interesting ending that WJ fan will be concent, so please keep your expectation high!!
Wasn't Lind Japanese in the first place? It probably never said, but I would assume a detail like that. But that is too bad, because I liked Watari (and his Englishness is a part of his character, if a small part)

The only thing that kept me reading Death Note long enough to become involved in the plot was the fact that the protagonist was the villain. Given the way he describes reading the manga, the cynical side of me wants to say he decided Light was evil once he lost. Because heroes never lose...

uc pseudonym wrote:I'm not doubting you, but... really? There isn't that much before they meet, unless you mean in person. It doesn't seem to be a very good ending to a film, not even in the "to be continued" sense (though they could do it well). That also raises the question of how much they'll cover the second part of the manga.
Wouldn't it be odd if
[spoiler]they made L win? Now that would surprise everyone.[/spoiler]
Wikipedia wrote:Death Note is also being adapted to the big screen, spanning two movies. The first one premiered in Japan on June 17, 2006 and topped the Japanese box office for two straight weeks. It is largely faithful to the manga (excepting the addition of the girlfriend, Shiori), starting with Light in university and flashing back a year or so to him receiving the Death Note. It ends with his first meeting with L. The second movie is scheduled to premiere in October 2006. A trailer is available at: [5]. An early review of the just released Japanese film can be found here.[6]
