On April 30, 2009, Variety magazine announced that Warner Bros. acquired the rights for the Death Note manga to be adapted into a live-action movie in the United States. Warner Bros. has hired screenwriters Charley and Vlas

I am kind of worried that it sounds like they picked up some white writers to adapt it. It could be an amazing movie. If they got a really awesome director, they could do an awesome film with Asian men killing a bunch of white people who really deserved to get it. Like a scene with a well known old American white man getting water-boarded to death. Or it would be interesting with a Filipino-American actor acting against the dominant narrative of colonization!

Suffice to say, the movie I would make off of death note would get me shipped off to Guantanamo.
