Well, I guess I can agree with you there.... But I just can't see him in Light's position.....Yeah I can't really imagine him going evil/crazy/higurashi
I read something about this from a club I'm in on deviantart, and they said the whole Zac Effron thing was just a rumor, but I really wouldn't know.I hope it is.... but thats just my opinion.
Yeah, I agree with you. There's no way Zac Effron would be able to play him well D8thank you (please sign the petition XD)
I'm just curious, I'm not trying to pick a fight or anything, why do you guys think he'd do a bad job? Because from where I stand I've only seen him do great emotion in most of his acting, though I haven't seen a manic side that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Is this judgement based on his acting in HSM/17 Again or is it for another reason?
Like I said, just curious.~ :3

Though, I haven't seen 17 yet, my friends have said that it wasn't very good.....
Like I said, just curious.~ :3

TOTALLY!~
I honestly can't say if he'll be good or bad, because I refuse to see HSM, and I haven't seen 17 again, but I might just to see how he act's.I lovvvve HSM. I haven't seen 17 Again, but I wanna see it. x0x

I DON'T LIKE EVERYTHING POPULAR, I PROMISE.
I think I just like spunky, weird...musical stuff. :D
BUT ANYWAY
Zefron's hair is pwetty.
I'm just afraid this movie will turn out like Twlight....Oh dear god, please no! I haven't even read the books and I hated it DX
THANK YOU MEGAN! :'D Finally someone else who doesn't like Blech. *typoed on purpose*I dont like it either... :o

People want to vote no? For me it's a hell yes, bring on the Zefron! Zefron's the only reason I'd ever see DN in theatre, I love that guy and he's got some good acting chops. Besides, he looks perfect for Light.TWINNAH YOU SAVED ME

ORLY? I didn't read this whole thread but when I saw the Zefron bashing I just had to come to the rescue.
Has anyone seen 17 Again? He's great in that! Just because he's been in Disney movies doesn't mean his acting's sub par, in fact tons of great talent has come from Disney!
If he's actually going to be in DN then I gotta say, I'm excited.
Well, If he does get to be on the cast, I guess it'll be worth while to see how he does, if he did great or if he sucked at it. Lolwait if Zac's Light.... THEN WHOS L?!
D: Now I just got a funny imagination of what if he cosplayed as Light one day....

Sorry, I just don't find Japanese guys that look like middle-aged women very attractive.
On topic~ Is Zefron officially doing this or is it just speculation?
It's kind of a rumor, but at the same time it's more likely to happen than a lot of other actors being chosen.*sigh~* The sad,sad truth T_T

Oh pshhh. Someone call me when Zefron approves, then I'll get pumped up. Till then Zefron being Light is just a fond dream ;-;
If there going to cast Zac I can only imagine who are going to play L and Misa....oh....THE HORROR!I don't even want to think about who the other actors are going to be >.<
Let me think...hmmm for L I'd guess they might pick Alan Rickman. And Misa would be...Paris Hiltion/Brittany Spears. :'D [Totally kidding on so many levels]
Let me think...hmmm for L I'd guess they might pick Alan Rickman. And Misa would be...Paris Hiltion/Brittany Spears. :'D [Totally kidding on so many levels]Rofl! That will be so funny~ :'D

I would actually love for Alan to be L.
omggg.
I would actually love for Alan to be L.If they chose him, the movie would just end up being like some sort of joke XD lol
omggg.
Naw, Alan is SRS BSNZ.Ok that would just be creepy...but thats just my opinion......
I want Tom Felton to play Misa~<3
Better idea! Evanna Lynch for Misa~Now that will be a sight to see~
Better idea! Evanna Lynch for Misa~ahh......mabye..........0.0
Naw, Alan is SRS BSNZ.That would be epic! XD

Better idea! Evanna Lynch for Misa~No! She should be L! lol XD
Oooh she could handle L.OH MY GOD TWIN I WOULD LOVE THAT
Robert Downey Jr. as Watari/and/or/Aiber ftw~
That'd actually be bizzarely fitting to have him play that role. xDI know, right? XD
I'm listening to Zac Efron sing in Hairspray right now, and now all I can see is Light Yagami singing to Misa.Haha, that'd be a sight to see XD
Matthew Lillard should play Ryuk.Isn't that....Shaggy?
I said it.
...I'm interested to see Zac's Light laugh.*nods* This.
Well, I have yet to see the anime all the way through, so I don't know what this Light laugh is people are mentioning, though I imagine it is terribly maniacal, yes? I've only read the manga, and there's no sounds in thur. :)
Okay I admit he has talent but I have just seen to much stuff that I have realy realy liked that was Japanese, Asian, Chinese or other kinds of foreign stuff taken into american context and completly and totally ruined.I agree i mean look at what they did with dragon ball....
Simply put: Zac has talent - American film makers.....not so much
Okay, thank you. Then see here? The problem isn't Zac Efron. It's AMERICA! : DYes...NOW I SEE
Finally people actually get me. I don't know how many people I have tried to explain this to and they just don't get it.0.0
Big question: say they do pull this off and they get the movie right's.
WHO DO YOU THINK IN AMERICA IS REALY GOOD ENOUGH TO PLAY L?!!!
WAIT...I got it...oh god I would love to see him in this role *giggle* Johnny Depp
Personaly, I don't care who plays Raito... I'm just worried about all the Zac Effron fangirls that will flock to our otaku world. ((I don't need them saying how much they loved Death Note and when I ask why they'd say, "Because Zaccy was in it!" give me a break...Yes I agree 100%
*shudders at thought* This will not turn out well. It isn't just America that is horrible at adaption, it is the matter of A Jock playing Japan's best. I have seen all of the HSM movies, hoping he would do better each time. As well as 17 Again. He just can't do it! He doesn't look the part! I don't mean to bash your opinions. But I simply cannot put the two together in my head without a horrible outcome. He may be able to portray emotion, but Light is more than emotion. Light is a role model, hope, the dawning of a cleansing era. My fear is that Light Yagami will be turned into the next Troy Bolton. I sign the petition as a respectable follower of both Kira and L!

Must agree. I was very surprised in his recent role in '17 Again'. He was a much more versatile actor that I had previously realized.
I say give him a chance.

Oh no, I totally agree with how accurate he looks for the part! And I agree with everything you said as well. And Light being a role model?
I'm sure he'd like to think so. XD
I signed the petition as well and I completly agree with thee above statement. I also agree that American adaption and anything Japanese, Asian, or Chinese DO NOT MIX
I'll admit I lol'd at this.
Cosplay conventions: THE EPITOME OF ASIAN/AMERICAN NESS. :)
I think that, in a way, everyone copies each other. If there's a hit thing that sweeps a country, other countries will try to make their own adaption of it. Ex: Married with Children (USA to UK), The Office (UK to USA), Hana kimi (Japan to Korea), and the list goes on an on.
It's the same for food, fashion, electronics, and just about everything else.
The only thing I'd want is accuracy.
If you're gonna copy something, don't botch it up with a bunch of things that are going to take away from the original storyline (Dragonball movie, anyone? lol).
First Disney buys Marvel, then they want to use Zac Efron for Death-Note?!
I think not!
DISNEY IS RUINING ALL THAT IS GOOD T^T
He's still hot. And I still wanna see it happen. =0 XD <3First Disney buys Marvel, then they want to use Zac Efron for Death-Note?!

Wowwwww guys.
You guys are acting like Disney OWNS Zac Efron. It just so happens he got his first big break there, so what? He's a perfectly capable actor, and you're just assuming he's not going to do well because he's been in "family friendly" films. Disney isn't in charge of this production, I'm not sure who is, but still.

Reason one this is bad:
"I will beat you L. OK LETS BRAKE OUT IN TO A MUSICAL NUMBER." DEATH NOTE IS NOT A MUSICAL ><
I'd rather have someone popular do it well, then someone different do it badly.I have the felling the the director is going to kill the movie. But I would say pull some no name from musical theather and make him Light. Theather always has the best actors.
Now THAT is cool. It makes me think that him being chosen for the role as Light is an even better idea than before. Better to have someone who has read, and knows, the series over someone who just randomly got selected into the part; right?Yes we should...and we should make him cosplay Light XD
Man, I didn't know that. We so should try inviting him next year!~

Yeah, I've kinda learned to ignore it, but it still bugs meh... ^^;;he also calls it Maine-ga, but whatever.
A lot of people do that, it's annoying but meh. Not much you can do it. xD
But we should invite him, I know his grandparents, maybe I can talk to them about it.
If people actually take the time to learn the language, then they will get it right. But since so many people don't actually care.......it's sad, reallyYou know the capital of Germany, Berlin? How do you usually pronounce it?
The Germans pronounce it Bear-leen.
The point is, is when you're speaking in, say, English, it isn't always necessary to pronounce foreign words correctly. (of course, sometimes it is.)
I doubt Zac Efron is an anime fan, so we shouldn't expect him to know how manga is pronounced. I agree, it's annoying, but how many of us used to call it main-ga? I did before I knew better.

But I have a hard time figuring out why anybody would want to redo/rehash death note via live action with American actors...I think they're aiming the movie toward non-otaku.
I mean if you keep the same story, the why have American actors play Japanese?
If you scrap the story and stuff it in America, you killed your fan base...
I just don't get it.

People who haven't really watched Death Note will likely enjoy the movie since it has a good plot, and possibly Zac Effron in it...
All the producers care about is the money. Sadly, that's how almost all movies are now... T_T
