#Death note 2006 demon movie
Ryuk was first voiced by Nakamura Shidō in the 2006 TV anime and Japanese live-action movie (from director Shsuke Kaneko) and later by Brian Drummond in the English-language dub. Originally written by manga writer Tsugumi Ohba, a Hollywood version of Death Note languished at Warner Bros. It’s the perfect role for the man who played the Green Goblin in Spider-Man so damn skillfully. Despite being a shinigami, Ryuk is kind of smarmy and a bit of a deadpan jokester. This live-action film brings an all-new story featuring a familiar demon butler doing what butlers do best: helping their masters seek. In addition to being a supernatural horror, Death Note is also a gripping police procedural, as Light’s own father is tasked with finding the serial killer who the public believes is behind the “Death Note”s sudden string of murders.Ī two-time Oscar-nominee and also the best MCU villain to date, Dafoe will provide his voice for Ryuk. The Death Note, a black notebook, kills anyone whose name is written into it.
Ryuk is a supernatural god of death, or “shinigami” from ancient Japanese mythology, who accompanies protagonist/anti-hero Light Turner (Nat Wolff), a high school student who comes into possession of a powerful, unholy “Death Note”. They are sometimes referred to by their literal translation 'god(s) of death,' or by the Western equivalent 'grim reaper(s).' In the Death Note series, they are a race of extra-dimensional beings who survive by killing humans to extend their own lives. Death Note (, Desu Nto) is a 2006 Japanese supernatural thriller film based on the manga series of the same title by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi. The adaptation is directed by The Guest, You’re Next and Blair Witch sequel director Adam Wingard. 'god(s) of death' or 'death god(s)') are a type of Japanese death god.
In what is possibly the best casting news of the year, zero hyperbole, Oscar-nominated actor Willem Dafoe will play Ryuk, a Japanese god of death, in Netflix’s 2017 adaptation of the horror/thriller manga Death Note.
