I Recently wrote about my attitude to the works of the American screenwriter of the film adaptation of Death Note Jeremy Slater. He wrote a very bad horror film “the Lazarus Effect” and no less terrible pilot for the series “the exorcist”, which will premiere this weekend.
But there is good news. In a new interview with Collider, Slater explained that he had to leave mid-work on Death Note, to devote himself to “the Exorcist”
They invited another writer, Kyle Killena, who is very talented. I know he wrote the final version of the script based on my. Who wrote, that now decide the arbitration, the writers Guild, but I think they used a big piece of my script as a starting point.
Kyle Quillen and a really talented writer: he specializiruetsya on the psychological dramas with a minimum number of characters and locations. This author wrote the scripts for the films “the beaver” (about a businessman who starts to communicate through a beaver puppet worn on the hand) and “the Scenic route” (about two friends stranded on the side of a deserted road).
This is a HUGE qualitative leap forward compared to Slater, who writes very lengthy and the secondary horror movies with cardboard characters.
Actually about Death Note, Slater said the following:
I think it will be a unique film, not only because Adam Wingard is such an incredibly gifted Director, but because we found very cool and exciting approach to Death Note. We understand that this is a film “Fight” Michael Mann, only the heroes — two teenagers, one of whom has magic powers.
Slater has promised that the film will conform to “moral ambiguity” of the original manga.
