Death note American Remake; ZAC EFRON?!

[rhiian]

Warners Brothers have bought the rights to make an American version of live action Death Note film.

Rumour is that Zac Efron is going to play Light.
Personally this makes me want to die.
It ulimatley means if it is true and goes ahead with him as Light, thousands of girlies will flock to the cinema to see the latest Efron movie and to swoon at him, and deathnote on a whole will become something to associate with small children. Boo.

Fingers crossed it's just a silly rumour.
Been trying to find something to back this up, but it's mainly anime forums discusssing the matter.

www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2009-05-01/warners-brothers-acquires-live-action-death-note-rights
there's an article confirming the film.

lulz just found this:

anyway, discuss. ;D

I wrote his name in my Death Note.

All will be well...


Honestly, I've never seen him act, having been completely uninterested in any of his movies, so I can't criticize him yet. ;D

But I'm worried that you might be right that if he does get the part, the fools will try to make it a movie more suitable for younger audiences somehow. Sca-roo that.
