The hype of Netflix's take on Death Note is only growing by the day. Last month, fans were given their first taste of the film through a teaser trailer. Director Adam Wingard shared the first footage of Death Note with fans, and the gritty feature introduces audiences to Nat Wolff's take on Light while Lakeith Stanfield debuted as the detective L. Now, a brand-new image of the two anime icons have been released thanks to the latter star, and it shows the mismatched due in dire circumstances.
Over on Instagram, Stanfield shared an "exclusive" video of himself and Wolff filming Death Note. The two can be seen sitting in a dark-lit cafe, and L is shown posed on his heels upon a chair. As for Wolff, the actor is shown sitting down casually, but Light seems to be eyeing L with a wary look.
An image similar to this one has already been shared from the set of Death Note. A picture of L and Light at this cafe was shared not long ago, but the color photo featured a different angel. This new black-and-white image gives fans a better look at the tense interaction between the two characters.
You can read up on Death Note synopsis below:
What if you had the power to decide who lives and who dies? We suggest you obey the rules. Based on the famous Japanese manga written by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata, 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.
If the Death Note does well, it wouldn't be surprising to see sequels spin-out from the project. In Japan, 4 popular Death Note live-action films have already been made and date back to 2006. There is even a live-action musical based on Death Note, and plans are underway to bring the stage play to the U.S.
Death Note will be available to stream on Netflix beginning August 25, 2017.
