Netflix’s anime adaptations have a very bad reputation among fans of Japanese animation and manga. And although the first part was a failure in every way, a new adaptation of ‘death Note’ is comingbut this time from the creators of “Stranger Things”.

In 2017, premiered on Netflix’death Note’ with Nat Wolff as Light Yagami and Willem Dafoe as Ryuk, as well as Academy Award winner Lakeith Stanfield as L. This live-action adaptation was directed by Adam Wingard, the same man who recently took on “Godzilla vs Kong”, and which was an absolute failure among fans and critics alike.

But, even though she was believed dead and they wouldn’t dare touch the franchise again now the Duffer brothers will take over ‘death note 2’, a film for Netflix which, moreover, would be more faithful to the manga than the first part. This is revealed by the exclusive information of Deadline with the creators of ‘Stranger Things’.

The project of the new anime adaptation will be entrusted to Matt and Ross Duffer, under a new company called Upside Down Pictures, in which only projects exclusive to the Netflix platform will be developed, and this time it will be in series format, in place of the film by Adam Wingard. .

The new producer of the creators of ‘Stranger Things’

As revealed by the Duffer brothers themselves, their production company Upside Down Pictures will work on “stories that are at that point where the extraordinary and the ordinary intersect, where the great show meets the intimate development of the character, and where the heart prevails over cynicism “, and this is where” Death Note “fits in.

However, and although the new live-action ‘Death Note’ is initially a second part of the story already known on Netflix, it is a completely different project, and one that will try to part with the infamous 2017 film starring Nat Wolff.

In addition to the adaptation of ‘Death Note’, Upside Down Pictures is also already working on another series based on a novel by Stephen King and Peter Straub, entitled ‘The Talisman’, released in 1984, where the creators of ‘Stranger Things ‘will join forces with Steven Spielberg’s production company and Paramount Television.
