Viz Pictures, the film affiliate of the North American publisher Viz Media, has announced that it will screen the first live-action Death Note film in over 300 American theaters through National CineMedia's NCM Fathom on May 20 and 21. Director Shusuke Kaneko adapted Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata's supernatural suspense manga into two movies, the first of which will show on those two May evenings at 7:30 p.m. (A release for the second film is listed as "coming soon.") The screening will include a new 20-minute featurette that discusses the movie's production and interviews director Kaneko.

Subscribers of the email newsletter for Viz Media's Shonen Jump magazine can order advance tickets from April 18 to April 20. The general public can purchase tickets starting on April 21. The screenings will use NCM Fathom's high-definition digital presentation system, which was also used for Viz Media's Naruto movie screenings last June.

Hmm...I guess it was bound to happen; I haven't really seen the movies, I suppose it's about time I should, huh.

oh how interesting... I haven't seen the movie yet so I might just go ahead and watch it. If I can that is. I was planning on buying the DVDs though...... and I don't really want to be surrounded by a bunch of Death Note fans <___<; anime expo is the only place for me that I can tolerate being surrounded by lovers of mainstream series.

Ooh, I won't mind watching it. I really like the actor choices, especially since Fujiwara Tatsuya (actor of Shuya in Battle Royale) is in it. :D And lol, the Chairman in Iron Chef is in it, too.

I have to watch this movie. Then I'll get it on DVD.

The event is english dubbed. If you don't believe me type in Live Action Death Note Movie English on Youtube. YOu'll get a result. Either way I'm going to see it on the 21st.

I bought the DVD over there on my trip to japan. They already have 4 Live Action DeathNote Movies. IT was pretty good, didnt really follow the plot to the letter, but it was actually MORE interesting than the mangas and anime to me.

Yep, thats the one ive got! SPOILER -->The plot is twisted alot though, Ray Penbur's wife that used to work with L lives alot longer than in the manga and anime. She actually becomes the antagonist and comes close to revealing Light as Kira. But in the end she kills Light's girlfriend and then shoots herself all thanks to the notebook.
