Death Note is a 2017 American supernatural crime thriller film directed by Adam Wingard from a screenplay by Charles Parlapanides, Vlas Parlapanides, and Jeremy Slater, loosely based on the manga of the same name by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata. It stars Nat Wolff, LaKeith Stanfield, Margaret Qualley, Shea Whigham, Paul Nakauchi, Jason Liles, and Willem Dafoe. The plot follows an American high school student named Light Turner (portrayed by Wolff), who finds a mysterious supernatural notebook known as the Death Note and uses it to murder criminals around the globe under the alias of Kira, while an international detective known only as L (portrayed by Stanfield) seeks to find and arrest him.
The film premiered at FrightFest on August 24, 2017, and was released by Netflix on August 25, 2017. It received generally negative reviews from critics.
As of September 2021[update], a sequel is in development, with Greg Russo attached to write the screenplay. In July 2022, it was announced that the Duffer Brothers' recently founded Upside Down Pictures production company would be producing a new live-action series adaptation for Netflix. In October 2022, it was announced that Halia Abdel-Meguid was brought on to write and executive-produce the series.[2][3][4]
