Death Note Remake “Not On Front Burner” for Zac Efron

Before all you Zac Efron haters let out a sigh of relief it seems like the Death Note Remake is kinda, sorta still in the making but a while from now and not Zac’s “main” priority at the moment. The High School Musical star was recently interviewed on Collider.com on his rumored involvement with the Death Note American movie adaptation. His exact words are after the jump and I am sure it will actually make you a bit angrier and in discontent with Zac.
Efron said, “I love Death Note, and we were, kind of, working on it right now. You know, it’s not…it’s definitely not something that would be coming up soon. [Turns to Me and Orson Welles director Richard Linklater] What’s the classic answer, Rick? ‘It’s not on the front burner.’ No, no, it’s something that was … I feel like, regardless of whatever I say, it’s going to be [interpreted by the media to be] my next movie. No, it’s not. It was an idea. Who knows? I had a meeting on it.”
So there you have it Death Note fans, all we have still are rumors and nothing more as far as date and a full cast goes. Sit tight, hopefully we will have better news soon.

Zac Efron does angsty movies and characters fairly well. And Light Yagami is angst. All I am going to say.
@DancingSushi
fuck you, dude!
stop bad mouthing americans guys!!!
I think people need to give Efron a chance. He’s done some fairly good acting since his musical days. He looks identical to Light.. I mean, who else could do it? I think he can. It’s not him we should be worried about, it’s whoever directs this. I mean, unless they chop and screw the storyline.. which they probably will.. then it’s not going to be good unless it’s a two part movie. I love the original DN storyline and that’s how it should remain, not some fucked version they made to cram into 2 hours.
