Viz Media just announced that they’ve nabbed all theatrical rights for the live action Death Note movies, Death Note (review) and Death Note: The Last Name (review).
They’ll be hosting a series of screenings starting with the Austin Fantastic Fest (September 20th-27th) and the Vancouver Asian Film Festival (November 1st-4th), with plans to throw down some more dates next year. This is the first horror film Viz Pictures has gotten behind in its short life, but I really hope it’s not the last!
We’ll drop you more details when we get ‘em!
