@__@ my god. I hope it doesn't turn into massive CGI overload and the awesomeness of the original is preserved.
on another note, anyone kind of annoyed by the number of live action films coming out as of late that have almost no way of living up to the original? 20th Century Boys is getting a live action film, and there's what... 22 volumes of the manga. and a movie is something like 2 hours long. DUDE. IT'S NOT GOING TO WORK. and the L movie that came out recently (that... focuses on L... or whatever instead of the main Death Note story)... can you say "milking Death Note popularity teats"? oy.
