A new behind-the-scenes featurette for Netflix's Death Note explains how Adam Wingard and the cast approached adapting the manga.
A new behind-the-scenes look at Netflix’s adaptation of Death Note features the cast and crew commenting on their love for the source material and the different direction that they’re taking with the story.
Netflix just released a new featurette from director Adam Wingard and producer Masi Oka explaining how Death Note piqued their interests and what they did to figure out how to approach the source material in a new way, along with input for the actors playing Light, Mia, and L.
Based on the famous Japanese manga written by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata, Death Note follows a high school student who comes across a supernatural notebook, realizing it holds within it a great power; if the owner inscribes someone’s name into it while picturing their face, he or she will die. Intoxicated with his new godlike abilities, the young man begins to kill those he deems unworthy of life.
Death Note will leave its mark on August 25, 2017 exclusively through the Netflix streaming service. Its cast includes Nat Wolff as Light Turner, Margaret Qualley as Mia Sutton, Keith Stanfield as L, Paul Nakauchi as Watari, Shea Whigham as James Turner, and Willem Dafoe as the voice of Ryuk. Masi Oka will also appear in an unspecified role.
