He also said viewers can expected a bunch of gore and nudity in the movie. He will also team up with Grindhouse director Jason Eisener for the movie.

According to Anime News Network, "Death Note" tells the story of Light Yagami, who finds a notebook that gives him the ability to kill people when he writes their names on it. He begins a crime-fighting journey against the baddies of the universe. It does not take too long before the authorities and one snot nosed detective are hot on his trail.

"Death Note" also received a Japanese live-action adaptation that made it to the big screen titled, "Death Note: The Last Name." A sequel for it was also made back in 2008 titled, "L change the World."

"Death Note" stars Nat Wolff as Light Turner, Margaret Qualley as Mia Sutton, Ketih Stanfield as L, Paul Nakauchi as Watari, Shea Whigham as James Turner and Academy Award winning actor Willem Dafore as the voice of Ryuk. The movie is going to be produced by Roy Lee and Dan Lin according to Wikipedia.
