Straight out of Netflix's first ever San Diego Comic-Con panel comes the first official clip from Adam Wingard's (The Guest) live-action American adaptation of the popular manga Death Note, and it is terrifying.
The clip features Light Turner's (Nat Wolff) first encounter with his very own shinigami, Ryuk (Willem Dafoe). Just as Light tries to make sense of everything, hoping that it's all a bad dream, Ryuk uses his powers of persuasion to get Light to do something drastic: use the Death Note.
You can check out the clip below and let us know what you think in the usual place!
Death Note will be available to stream on Netflix August 25th, 2017.
Based on the famous Japanese manga written by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata, Death Note follows a high school student who comes across a supernatural notebook, realizing it holds within it a great power; if the owner inscribes someone’s name into it while picturing their face, he or she will die. Intoxicated with his new godlike abilities, the young man begins to kill those he deems unworthy of life.
