Member DarthKato Posted August 16, 2021 Member Share Posted August 16, 2021 Never read the manga(Not yet, anyways), but I do like superhero stuff, so this might be alright. Tho I while approach this with extreme caution due to it being made in Hollywood and knowing their track record with Anime adaptions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It worries me too but with Shinsuke Sato at the helm, hopefully it will be done right. As long as producers get the material and try not to botch it up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Asmo Posted August 16, 2021 Moderator Share Posted August 16, 2021 I'm a pretty big fan of the series, so I was excited for live action until I read that it was going to be in English. I'm still excited, but similarly a bit apprehensive that they might deviate from the source material in ways that don't translate too well and/or annoy fans of the series. I hope this is the live action adaptation that puts comparisons to Dragonball: Evolution and the Netflix adaptation of Death Note. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shinsuke Sato is still directing the film. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death Note was horrible, which is why the creators of Stranger Things are planning a reboot for Netflix with Halia Abdel-Meglia, who has lived in Japan and is a fan of the manga, will be scripting. https://hypebeast.com/2022/10/duffer-brothers-death-note-netflix-screenwriter-halia-abdel-meguid-confirmed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
