It has now been confirmed that Warner Bros have hired writer/director Shane Black (Lethal Weapon) to direct the Death Note Hollywood movie. In addition, Anthony Bagarozzi (Doc Savage) and Charles Mondry are in line to write the film’s script (according to IMDB Pro). Previously screenwriter brothers Vlas and Charles Parlapanides were attached to the project via a convincing leaked script which mysteriously made it’s way onto the internet last year.
Warner Bros acquired the rights to the series from Vertigo Entertainment in 2009. Actor Zac Efron has been rumored to star in the film; in a 2009 interview Efron acknowledged having a meeting but did not confirm whether he had the role or not, saying that the project was not “on the front burner.”
