Some possible casting news for the upcoming American version of popular Japanese manga Death Note has arrived as THR is reporting that Margaret Qualley (“The Leftovers”) is in talks to play the female lead. Qualley is the daughter of actress Andie MacDowell.
Adam Wingard (The Guest, You’re Next) is directing the feature, which will star Nat Wolff (Paper Towns), for Warner Bros. Jeremy Slater (Fantastic Four) wrote the most recent draft of the script.
The story, set in a major metropolitan American city, centers on a student who discovers a supernatural notebook that allows him to kill anyone by writing the victim’s name. He then decides to cleanse the world of those whom he deems evil. As the student is tracked by a reclusive police officer, a cat-and-mouse game ensues.
Roy Lee, Dan Lin, Jason Hoffs, and Masi Oka are producing Death Note, which is eyeing a production start in spring 2016.
