Video Highlights From Netflix’s ‘Death Note’ Panel at the #SDCC
One of the big winners of the San Diego Comic’s opening night was Netflix’s Hall H panel that highlighted two of their monster-budgeted original productions: Bright and Death Note, the latter being directed by genre maven Adam Wingard. Just yesterday we shared the panel’s creepy new clip, which shows that Willem Dafoe was perfectly cast in the role of Ryu. Now, we have video and image highlights from the panel to go along with some shots of the decorations, including the famous notebook.
Death Note stars Nat Wolff (Paper Towns, The Fault in Our Stars) as Light Turner; Margaret Qualley (The Nice Guys, The Leftovers) as Mia Sutton; Lakeith Stanfield (Straight Outta Compton, Dope) as “L”; Paul Nakauchi (Alpha and Omega) as Watari; and Shea Whigham (“Agent Carter”, “Boardwalk Empire”) as James Turner.
Death Note follows a high school student who comes across a supernatural notebook, realizing it holds within it a great power; if the owner inscribes someone’s name into it while picturing their face, he or she will die. Intoxicated with his new godlike abilities, the young man begins to kill those he deems unworthy of life.
Death Note is produced by Roy Lee (The Ring, The Grudge, Blair Witch, The Departed), Dan Lin (The Lego Movie, Sherlock Holmes), Jason Hoffs (Edge of Tomorrow), and Masi Oka (“Heroes Reborn”, “Hawaii-Five-0”).
Open the notebook on August 25.
