If it were me, I would make the new movie a continuation of the Japanese live action movies. If you haven't seen them yet, stop reading, i might spoil something.

In the Japanese ones, L doesn't die by Kira/Light's plan, he writes his own name in the Death Note. In the film L Change The World, also known as The Last 23 Days Of L, L finds and brings Near to Wammy's House himself.
Based on that and the fact the new movie will be American made, If was I were them I would make the movie about an American finding the Death Note and a teen Near trying to stop him and have Mello involved somehow. It would make more sense to me.

I've gotta say, that's be pretty cool. It would be an American continuation of the Japanese movies.

This would be amazing!
Zac Efron looks like Light Yagami, just saying..Light's face is so innocent and sweet looking like a little kid, and that's exactly what Efron looks like.
How amazing would this be!?

The script that was leaked onto the internet if it was real was written by the guys previously in charge. With Shane Black taking over there are new writers so im assuming there will be a new script thankfully cause that other was awful.
I had read that Death Note was Blacks favorite manga and wanted to stick to it really well so its giving me some hope for this remake.

Oh please, PLEASE let it be something like this. I'd spend money to go see this over what that other discarded script was ANY DAY. I think L's successors really need more screen time than they got in the anime and manga...
