Casting Wammy Around the World: Actors Who Have Played Death Note's Watari

13/4/2016

Welcome to our roll call of all the actors ever to have played Quillsh Wammy in the varying adaptations of Death Note.  We've hunted them down across the globe and to the best of our ability, here they are.

Though please - it's driving us mad - who IS the sungwoo providing a voice for Watari in the Tagalog dub Death Note anime?  It's been a mission for so many; each new challenger thinking they were somehow better at internet searching and/or hounding Filipino friends, yet the Tagalog Wammy actor's name alludes us.  If you know, we're begging you, put us out of our misery

And if you deem this quest to be game on for yourself... you have our utmost sympathy as you stand poised to join our thwarted ranks. Nevertheless, good luck. We're all cheering you on.

Misa Amane at Animazement! North Carolina Plays Host to Aya Hirano in May, Plus Death Note Anime Producer Masao Maruyama  

11/4/2016

1 Comment

 
Death Note actress Aya Hirano will be at North Carolinian anime convention Animazement this May, organisers have announced.

Also in attendance is Madhouse co-founder Masao Maruyama, who produced the Death Note anime.  In 2012, after more than four decades with Madhouse, he branched out on his own again, forming a new company - MAPPA (Maruyama Animation Produce Project Association).  He'll be there to talk about his experiences with both.

It was recently revealed that Hirano - Misa-Misa's original voice actress in the anime - is moving to the United States for six months to as part of her studies.  It looks like her work doesn't completely stop for that!

Animazement runs from May 27-29th, in Raleigh, North Carolina, USA.  Registration is currently open for attendees, panellists and exhibitors alike. More information on the event website.

If anyone bumps into Aya Hirano and Masao Maruyama, or else hears them talk as special guests at the convention, then do please report back!  Particularly if either of them mention anything Death Note related.

Warner Bros. Surrenders Death Note US Live-Action Movie; Netflix Bids High

7/4/2016

2 Comments

 
Variety breaks Death Note Netflix story April 7th 2016
How the story was broken
at Variety magazine by Justin Kroll
(April 7th 2016)
Adam Wingard's Death Note is likely to start filming in June 2016.  But it won't be Warner Bros behind the production anymore.  At the moment, it's highly likely to be Netflix.

That is the startling news circulating today.

It's unknown why Warner Bros. has decided to surrender the project, which it's held firmly in abeyance since 2009.  During that time, the studio has ordered script rewrites; actors have been linked with various roles, but the rumours rarely came to fruition; while directors have come and gone, one - we're indebted to you, Shane Black - with horror stories of Warner Bros. US attempting to sanitize the Death Note story out of all comprehension.

By the end of 2015 through early 2016, it seemed that Warner Bros. finally had a format which worked for them and all concerned.  Adam Wingard was directing; Nat Wolff had signed up to play Kira, with his real life girlfriend Margaret Qualley poised to become the movie's Misa Amane.  There was much talk of initial photography beginning in the spring.

Hence the shock nature of the news (broken by Justin Kroll at Variety) that Warner Bros. chose now to put their Death Note film 'into turnaround'.

Opening up a bidding war which Netflix currently seems set to win. Though SFX and Lionsgate are also strongly in the running.  (Anyone else think that something about a Lionsgate Death Note feels so right?) 

However, there is some speculation that giving up Death Note is part of Warner Bros. previously declared cull on 'homegrown movies', in order to concentrate its resources upon extant franchises known to be successful.  The monetary profit for Warner Bros - raised by the sale of its film rights to Death Note - is expected to fall into the ballpark of $40m-$50m.

Adam Wingard, Nat Wolff and Margaret Qualley are all apparently still on board, whichever company snaps the movie up.

Netflix, of course, already has some data concerning the popularity of Death Note.  It recently started streaming full episodes of the anime, so can see for itself how many Western viewers are interested in this particular story.  However, it's not yet game over for the other bidders.  The current status for Netflix and Death Note is 'in final negotiations', which could pretty much mean anything, besides what it says on the packet.

As for fans, it's mostly looking like we will finally get our US live-action Death Note movie, whomever produces it, though it remains to be seen whether that will be available online only, or also released as a theatrical run.

Film Still of Yūgi Shion Released from Death Note 2016 Live-Action Movie

5/4/2016

0 Comments

 
Warner Bros. Japan has made public another movie photograph from Death Note 2016.  This time featuring Light Yagami-wannabe Yūgi Shion played by Masaki Suda.  As with all the others, there's no actual context to it, just to keep us all guessing what is going on.
Death Note News Masaki Suda as Yūgi Shion
Yūgi Shion is a cyber-savvy hacker, state-sponsored (new information there!) yet on the trail of Death Notes as they fall across the globe.  Kira was his hero and he wants to complete the erstwhile God/Murderer's mission as best he can.  For the moment, that apparently involves messing electronically with officers from the Death Note Counter Measure Headquarters Special Team, as they go about their investigation.

It's Off to Study in NYC for Misa Actress Aya Hirano - But Only for Six Months

5/4/2016

1 Comment

 
Aya Hirano - who was the original voice actress for Misa Amane in the Death Note anime - has announced that she's leaving Japan for the USA, in order to further her education.

It's not known what she's actually studying, however Aya Hirano will be in America for the next six months - not four, as various sources erroneously reported - as per the anime Misa actress's announcement on Instagram:
Death Note Misa actress Aya Hirano going to NYC to study
Roughly translated by Death Note News' Rene Hardigree, the actress confirmed her forthcoming plan to study abroad and apologised to fans for the confusion regarding the dates of her  study leave.  Hirano was originally going for just four months, but that was recently extended to half a year away.  During that time, her position as announcer and host of Tokyo hi-IMAGINE (Japanese television show) will be undertaken by a substitute.  Namely Rena Matsui.

Good luck to her!  Though I can't help thinking that we should be a little more concerned that Death Note's Second Kira is gaining access to the Big Apple.

Shout up, Americans, if you see her there, and do pass on our love.

Death Note 2016: New Pics of Ryūzaki Released from Live-Action Movie

1/4/2016

0 Comments

 
Affording an intriguing glimpse into the persona of Ryūzaki (Sousuke Ikematsu), two more picture stills
have been made public from the filming of Japanese live-action movie Death Note 2016.

2016 Death Note Ryūzaki (Sousuke Ikematsu)
Sousuke Ikematsu as Ryūzaki in Death Note 2016 live action movie
We already knew that Sousuke Ikematsu's character Ryūzaki was created genetically from the DNA left behind by L for this purpose during his own lifetime.  (The scientists here are straining at the bit to discuss that titbit in due course!)  Today's information adds just that Ryūzaki was raised at Wammy's House.

It seems the regime there went a step further even than the scenario warned by Beyond Birthday (and Mello) in Another Note.  The notion of a 'back-up' not so much a brainwashed boy, as an actual clone.

So did they keep DNA of them all?  Will the next baby squalling from a test-tube be Mello or Matt?

Shō Nanase: Death Note 2016 New Character Revealed - Only Female Investigator on the Death Note Counter Measure Headquarters Special Team

31/3/2016

3 Comments

 
Shō Nanase (Mina Fujii) Death Note 2016
Mina Fujii has joined the cast of Death Note 2016 - live-action Japanese movie - currently being filmed in Japan.

She will play Shō Nanase, a member of the Death Note Counter Measure Headquarters Special Team, serving under Tsukuru Mishima.

As yet, she constitutes the only female member of the investigative team to date, fulfilling a role akin to Shoko Himura in the TV drama or the SPK's Hal Lidner in the manga/anime.  If only as the token woman in the squad.

Though known as a Japanese actress, Mina Fujii was actually born in San Diego, California, USA, on July 15th 1988.  However, she was with her parents back in Japan by the age of seven, when she featured in the 2005 movie Simsons.

By the age of nine, when she was in the 2007 Fuji TV drama Broccoli and the film The Signs of Love, Mina was already becoming a household name in the Japanese entertainment industry. Since then, she has barely stepped out of the limelight, appearing in movie and television shows practically every year of her life.

In Japan, she is most well-known for he role as Aoi Asada in the television drama Bloody Monday. While Koreans tend to cite her appearance in the music video for KPop band TVXQ's Why Did I Fall in Love with You?

Mina Fujii speaks fluent Korean, in addition to Japanese and English.

Most recently, she has hit Japanese small screens in the reality TV show We Got Married Global, alongside Lee Hongki - KPop singer with the band F.T.Island.  It was only a virtual marriage for television. Nothing binding in real life.

At this time, nothing else is known about Mina Fujii's role in Death Note as Shō Nanase.

Tsukuru Mishima: New Photographs from the Set of Death Note 2016

31/3/2016

0 Comments

 
A couple of officially released stills from the Japanese live action Death Note 2016 have been circulating about the internet.

They depict actor Masahiro Higashide in his role as Tsukuru Mishima, main investigator with the Death Note Counter Measure Headquarters Special Team.

This was a sub-set of the Japanese law enforcement authority that was created by Soichiro Yagami in the aftermath of events shown in the previous movies.  Following his death - sometime during the intervening years - Mishima took the lead.

His character is known as such an expert on all things related to Shinigami notebooks that his nickname on the force is Death Note Otaku.  How many of us have previously claimed that particular accolade as our own? 

While we have no context for the pictures, we do know that six Death Notes will be falling on the Earth in this next movie.  Presumably that accounts for the grim expression worn by their chief researcher, investigator and all round know it all.

Perhaps in the image below, he has found some kind of lead revealing the enormity of the task ahead, or else demonstrating the horrors that one or more Death Note owners are set to unleash.

Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata have intimated that this will be the darkest Death Note story yet, one which puts firmly in the shade that surrounding Light Yagami.

Death Note 2016 (working title) will be released in Japanese theatres on October 29th 2016, just in time for Halloween.  There is no word as yet about the live-action movie being subbed or dubbed for foreign audiences. Though we can assume that will be a thing, given time and patience.

Any thoughts on it at this juncture?

Erika Toda: Original Movie Misa Amane Reprising Role in Death Note 2016 Sequel

10/3/2016

1 Comment

 
Erika Toda - Misa Amane in Death Note live action movies

In addition to the announcement about Erika Toda returning as Misa Amane, the official Twitter stream for Death Note 2016 has provided us with an actual release date - October 29th 2016.
Erika Toda was the actress who brought Misa Amane to life in the original live action Death Note films.  Now she's back for the encore.

Glorying under the working title of Death Note 2016, the fourth in the Warner Bros. Japan Death Note movies takes place ten years after the clash between Light and L, which proved so fatal for them both.

But not for Misa, who merely lost her memories after renouncing ownership of her Death Note. 

A decade on, she's working as a top-ranked actress, still mourning the loss of Light Yagami, but with no conscious insight into the preternatural events that led to his demise.  As six new Death Notes fall upon the Earth, Misa Amane's memories will become key for those chasing and using them.

Erika Toda was just seventeen years old when she played Misa-Misa the first time around.  She's a stately twenty-seven now, likely to become the grand matriarch of Kiras everywhere.

Her casting has been met with much excitement in Japan, where her role was highly praised in 2006 and continued on into 'legendary status' since.

Here's a fan-made compilation showing Erika in action as Misa Amane:
