I believe it's supposed to be based on the case L worked on with Naomi Misora (Raye Penbar's fiancèe). So it's a prequel. |

Wouldn't mind seeing this, but it kind of take the suspense ot of this movie when you know Spoiler for anime upto episode 25 spoiler[that both characters live considering that we already know how both characters bite the big one.] Maybe I should wait and see before I decide to pass any judgement, there's been plenty of good prequels.... |

Well, knowing that characters are going to live through prequels is a problem that applies to all prequels. As a more general mystery without any Death Notes, though, I'm not sure that it matters. You can generally be pretty certain that Holmes or Poirot is going to live through any given adventure, for example. What I wonder is whether they'll be able to come up with a good story without Death Note's fascinating supernatural gimmick.

Wow! This is cool. I can't wait. I think prequels can work because you can still be deeply involved even if you know how things turn out. Sometimes it makes you even more involved because it's so sad to see where they come from and know what they've been through. But they have no idea what terrible thing will happen to them while you do. I think it makes you feel even sorrier for them. Think of the movie "Titanic" (sorry--best reference I could think of). It is pretty much the most successful movie ever, even though everybody knew the ending before sitting down.

I believe there was a novel spinoff involving some case L took that shed some light on his past. Perhaps that's what this is based off of?

well.... L is supposed to be a genius detective who had solved numerous difficult cases before he joined the Kira case, so there should be plenty of interesting cases to talk about. Anyway, really looking forward to see this. as I always think L is a more interesting charachter than Light. But I guess they might give Light a camero apperance in the movie too.... like someone on the background orsomething. |

AND, according to the fanbook "How to Read," L is actually 30-years-old or something, so they have many years to draw from.

BTW, if you haven't seen it yet, here's a review of the second Ring movie.

What the hell does a review for the second Ring movie have to do with a spinoff series of Deathnote about L?

The director of "L" directed the second Ring movie?

Yeah, I see that part, but I still don't see what connects what happens within the Ring movie with this upcoming series. |

It's just to give you an idea of what he could do with "L".

It's trolling. So some anonymous dude on the Internet named "Jesse" said it's a 0/10. OK. He also said this:
On the same site (which may or may not provide meaningful criticism) the referenced movies got 8/10, <not> and 8/10. And rather than direction, wasn't the problem with the The Ring 2 a crappy script that was modified to be even worse than the story used for the Japanese Ringu 2? In any case, at worst, what we can infer from your link is that if Nakata comes to America to re-direct an English language remake of already crap-story sequel to something that he's previously done well, it might turn out as bad as it was designed to be. Fair enough. It still has precisely nothing to do with "L". |
