However, due to legal takedowns and domain shifting.
Directed by Adam Wingard, starring Nat Wolff (Light) and Willem Dafoe (Ryuk). Widely disliked by fans. It whitewashed characters, changed key plot points (Light is a victim, not a mastermind), and removed L’s eccentric charm. A major disappointment.
The story follows Light Yagami, a brilliant high school student who stumbles upon a supernatural notebook called the "Death Note." Dropped into the human world by the bored Shinigami (god of death) Ryuk, the notebook grants the user the ability to kill anyone whose name and face they know.
