In a story over on Twitch about the English-subtitled DVD release of L: Change the World in Hong Kong, my ocular organs ran across a full plot synopsis for the film, which I realized I had never read before. We’ve been reporting on the Death Note sequel/spin-off for months now, but never actually knew what it was about. Strange.

Hideo Nakata
L to Open Undine
I know most of you reading this who want to see Hideo Nakata’s L: Change the World, the sequel to the Death Note movies, will want to kick me for this, but what can you do? It’s Asian, damnit; I can't help where it chooses to play next...

Subtitled Trailer for L: Change the World!
Since the project was announced we’ve been referring to L as a prequel to the Death Note films; this was inaccurate and for that we apologize. The person who supplied us with that information will be thoroughly punished, don’t worry.

Entity Remake Gets a Writer
I wasn't the the least bit surprised to hear about a remake of 1981's The Entity, the primo poltergeist-rapes-a-woman horror movie that was supposedly based on a true story, too. The Ring director Hideo Nakata has been on board the project from the beginning, and now, according to Moviehole, Fox Atomic has a writer on board as well.

Dark Water (DVD)
Reviewed by Andrew Kasch
Starring Hitomi Kuroki, Rio Kanno, Mirei Oguchi
Directed by Hideo Nakata
There’s just something about Hideo Nakata and H20. From the deep brine terror of the Ring films to the rain-soaked streets of Chaos, it’s obvious the Japanese filmmaker has an issue with liquids. And nowhere is it more evident than in the highly-touted Dark Water, which has finally emerged from the murky depths and onto DVD.
