One of the most indelible images from the Death Note anime series (and the manga it’s based on) is the haunting appearance of the Shinigami Ryuk, a death god visible to Light Turner, the high school student in possession of a notebook with the power to kill. With filming now underway on Adam Wingard’s live-action Death Note movie, the voice of Ryuk has been revealed.
Mashable reports that Willem Dafoe will voice Ryuk in the live-action Death Note film. An official image of Ryuk’s appearance in the new movie has yet to be revealed (the image above is from the 2006–2007 anime adaptation), but it’s likely that we’ll see a CG creation of the curious death god with an appetite for apples.

The notebook with grave consequences is back, as filming is officially underway on Adam Wingard's Death Note movie.
Based on Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata's popular manga (which was previously adapted as an anime series and several live-action movies), the new Death Note film stars Nat Wolff as the main character who discovers that if he writes someone's name in his newfound notebook while imagining what they look like, they will die. This otherworldly power allows Wolff's character to play God, and it's up to the mysterious "L" (Keith Stanfield) to put a stop to the bodies hitting the floor.
Death Note is scheduled to premiere on Netflix in 2017. Below, we have the official press release with full details, including Wingard's (The Woods, You're Next) thoughts on the project:

You know that old story about the blind men who come upon an elephant? As each one touches the elephant they come away with different perceptions of what the elephant is like.
The elephant is like a snake, thinks the blind man who grabs the elephant by the trunk. The elephant is like a tree, says the blind man who wraps his arms around the elephant's leg. The elephant is like a rhino...and so it goes.
That's a lot like me trying to tell you whether South By Southwest is worth it to you to make the trip to America's Live Music Capital. At any one time there may be two, five or even ten competing sessions vying for your attention, and you can obviously only be in one place at a time; you can only grab so much of the elephant. (Athough thanks to Twitter and hash tags,...
