  • New ‘Death Note’ Adaptation from ‘Stranger Things’ Creators Announced by Netflix

    Netflix is making another attempt to adapt the hit manga and anime series Death Note, this time into a live-action TV show!

    This comes with the announcement that the Duffer Brothers, creators of the hit Netflix series Stranger Things, will be producing more titles through their new production company Upside Down Pictures. Among their slate of projects in active development is the live-action adaptation of the renowned title from Japan.

    This will be Netflix’s second attempt at adapting the series following their highly-criticized 2017 film of the same name directed by Adam Wingard. Considering the success of Stranger Things, this will stir excitement from both fandoms.

    Created by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata, Death Note follows the story of the high school student Light Yagami, who picks up a notebook that could kill people just by writing their names on its pages. Having a strong sense of righteousness, Light uses it to rid the world of criminals while his identity was kept under the name Kira. He soon captures the attention of the world’s greatest detective, a mysterious figure only known as L, who taunts him into a battle of wits where the winner will be the one to uphold their take on justice.

    More details about the new Death Note adaptation are yet to be revealed. Upside Down Pictures’ slate of projects also includes an adaptation of Stephen King and Peter Straub‘s The Talisman, a new stage play set within the world and mythology of Stranger Things, and a Stranger Things spin-off series.

  • ‘Stranger Things 4’ Writers Reveal Some Unscripted Moments from the Season

    After releasing the explosive and emotional last two episodes of Stranger Things 4 last Friday, the writers of the hit Netflix series have revealed to fans some of the unscripted moments from this season.

    Through their Twitter account, the writers shared three scenes where the cast members improvised. Check them out below (Spoilers Alert!):

    Viewers were quick to get attached to the new character, Eddie Munson, the misunderstood leader of the Hellfire Club. This made his demise even more painful to watch, with Dustin listening to his last words about finally getting that diploma. According to the Stranger Things writers, that last phrase “I love you, man” was actually improvised by actor Joseph Quinn.

    Another emotional scene from the finale was Lucas holding Max’s dying body after suffering from Vecna’s curse. The writers revealed that the elder Sinclair’s desperate plea “Erica, help” was actually improvised by actor Caleb McLaughlin.

    Finally, the writers also shared that the kiss between Joyce and Hopper was not part of the script, and was only added in by stars David Harbour and Winona Ryder during filming.

    Created by the Duffer Brothers, Stranger Things 4 follows Eleven and the gang as they battle another threat from the Upside Down– Vecna. This monster uses its victims’ dark past to kill them for a sinister purpose that could endanger everyone in Hawkins.
