The film will follow Light Yagami, a college student who finds a cryptic notebook that gives him the power to kill anyone at anytime if he writes the victim’s name in the notebook. When people start mysterious dying a private investigator by the name of L becomes involved to find the cause of this phenomenon.
Death Note will be released in Japan some time in 2016.
