Death Note 2 Won’t Ignore Criticisms Of The First Movie

Netflix’s 2017 live-action Death Note doesn’t have an incredible popularity with franchise followers. There have been loud objections to the alterations to the story and characters, which had been modified in an effort to draw new audiences. The movie was a success and the plan succeeded, although those who’d been with the collection for the reason that begin felt unnoticed within the chilly.

Spectacular viewing figures meant Death Note 2 was rapidly greenlit with Mortal Kombat and Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon Metropolis‘s Greg Russo on writing duties. Since that was confirmed, nevertheless, additional data has been skinny on the bottom. There’ve been hints that Netflix would really like the subsequent film to be extra horror-oriented and that American Horror Story‘s Emma Roberts will appear as a villain, however nothing else is thought for certain.

Now producer/star Masi Oka has supplied assurances that they’re being attentive to what followers need. Oka has contributed to the anime Star Wars: Visions undertaking, and through interviews for that was requested about Dying Notice 2:

“All I can say is that’s nonetheless within the works. Nothing has been determined both approach. I can say that we’re listening to the followers and hopefully the followers shall be proud of the route we’re going.”

This shall be music to the ears of Dying Notice lovers all over the place. It stays to be seen whether or not the sequel is a direct continuation of the 2017 film, a tender reboot with one other character receiving the pocket book, or a completely new retelling of the story. However whichever route Netflix chooses ought to be positive, because the core Dying Notice idea is so stable that it may be re-interpreted in any variety of methods and nonetheless work.

Right here’s hoping we get some information on when Dying Notice 2 is arriving quickly. I really loved the primary film, although granted, I’ve by no means learn the manga or seen the anime. Within the meantime, it’s price testing Oka’s episode of Star Wars: Visions ‘The Ninth Jedi’, which has the glory of being one of many few tales set post-The Rise of Skywalker.
