Catch Death Note II in Select Theaters Next Week!

Tuesday October 7, 2008

Although the first Death Note movie, based on a popular Japanese manga (comic) about a notebook that causes death to anyone whose name is written in it, just hit DVD in the US last month, Death Note II: The Last Name is coming to select theaters October 15 and 16. That's only two days, but the film is being carried in over 300 theaters (or triple what a "real" release like Midnight Meat Train got) -- similar to how the first was released this past May. Also included in the nearly three-hour event is a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the movie and an interview with director Shusuke Kaneko. Check here for details and theater listings.

Wow, this is playing at a bunch of theaters near me. I didn’t see the first movie, but I watched the anime and read the manga.

Yeah, it’s surprising how many theaters this is showing in. Apparently, this was one of the most popular movies in Japan in 2006 (we’re a bit behind, I guess). Now you have time to go rent the first before you see the sequel!
