I watched the first movie aswell it was pretty okayish. I still need to watch L change the world but I heard it was kinda bad. Hoping that there will be some awesome death note movies in the future and maybe a new anime...

Actually, they were, and Zac Efron was going to play as Light. The idea of another Death Note live action movie made by Americans seems kind of stupid. Think of it this way, we already have a Japanese live action movie of Death Note, why do we need another one? And besides, Hollywood has been sucking for quite sometime when it comes to movies. The last time they turned some anime in to movies, they sucked big time. Remember "Dragon Ball Evolution" and "Speed Racer"? *shudders*

I REALLY don't like the fact that they're casting Zac Efron as Light Yagami (Kira). I mean come ON the guy was in ALL the High School Musical movies, PLUS the movies were made by Disney. Doesn't that give you a hint, that maybe HE isn't a good candidate for acting in the American adaption of the Death note live action movie? Okay, I'll give them props for the fact that Zac looks like Light, but I REALLY don't think he has that Light Yagami feel.

Light has this God complex, he hates the world, hates criminals, AND he hates idiots. Light Yagami wanted to fix the world by killing criminals and idiots. I REALLY don't think Zac can live up to being like Light in the movie. Zac is TOO nice. He doesn't have that same hate Light has in his heart nor, that psychotic look that Light did in the Manga and the anime.

Eventhough Light was nice to people in the anime and the manga, he was only hiding the truth about what he ACTUALLY was doing and it was just way of manipulating people into doing what he wanted them to do for him. I just don't think Zac can do that. As far as looks go, if you look like the character thats great but if you CAN'T act like the character on screen NOR share some of the characters same trats like the character in the book or video game you're adapting into a movie from, then I really don't think you can be the character.

But this is just my opinion.

O.o You've got to be kidding me. Zac Efron? T.T There goes the movie. No offence against him or fans of him of course, but he's just not suited as Light. Ok he has the hairstyle a little bit, but that's it.
He's an innocent disney actor T.T I doubt he can be as serious/smart/evil and crazy looking () as Light....

I agree with you, I don't like the fact that Zac is going to act like Light O:
I think that Zac is to ugly for being Light(Sorry Zac fans) O:

Zac Efron denied it a lot of time ago. Taylo Kitsch will be Light instead.

Taylor Kitsch - Marvel Movies Wiki - Wolverine, Iron Man 2, Thor

No one will be able to match the anime though. Anime version of Light is just unimaginable for any actor.
