TOKYO -- Hideo Nakata will helm "L," a spinoff from the megahit "Death Note" pic pair, producer Nippon Television Network (NTV) announced Wednesday.
Nakata, the horrormeister whose credits include "The Ring 2" and the upcoming "Kaidan" and "The Ring 3," signed on to the project after three years in Hollywood.
Nakata said he wanted to make more movies in Japan and that he was taken with the perf of Kenichi Matsuyama in the "Death Note" pics and wanted to work with the actor.
Matsuyama plays the sweets-loving "genius" detective who matches wits and wills with a power-besotted college student able to kill anyone he pleases simply by writing the person's name in a mysterious notebook.
"L" will focus on the detective's story before the events of the two "Death Note" pics, which grossed a total of \8 billion ($67 million) in Japan last year.
Principal photography is skedded to begin in August, with NTV handling planning and production in partnership with Nikkatsu.
Warner Japan will release the movie in the first half of 2008 in Japan.

ask natin si lynn-san jan since sya yung erika fan kung bakit ganun yung project nya....parang feeling ko asar sya sa reactions ng mga tao dahil sa bago nyang look pero syempre di naman ako nakakaintindi masyado ng nihonggo so i'm not sure din.Hindi ko naman type pag aksayahan ng panahon para magbasa sa thread nya so intay na lang ako feedback from the experts with her.... :beaten:
sige...minna-san basta inform us kung kelan ang GA ha? napansin nyo ba di na nagpopost si w3bhead? sa GA tanong nyo kung bakit? :naughty: yiheee!
sa UAAP naman, tsk! tsk! yari ang UE kasi nangalawang sila and the momentum is with la-salle coming from the ateneo knock out win....dapat kasi pag sweep ka parang dati champion na if not at least makapanalo ka man ng isa panalo ka na dati ganun din naman yung rules kaya nakarami ng championships ang la-salle eh eh kaso ngayon malas UE since they changed them. Hopefully makapanalo sila next para may game 3 pa. Pero the momentum and the hype nasa la-salle ngayon so back against the wall ang UE...they have to give it their all come Sat and La-salle won't give them a win easily since ever since may killer instinct ang La salle kaya ganyan din sila kagaling sa basketball eh....Let's see what happens. :victory:

Parang mas natuwa pa tuloy ako dun sa interview ni Paris Hilton sa Dave Letterman nung isang araw :hehe:
siguro naman if my stylist made me wear what she wore, that jungle outfit at yung blond wig i'll be sullen too. nabasa ko nga yung mga comments sa thread in erika, kawawa naman siya. oh well, kung celeb ka talagang hindi ka puede maging masungit ganun ba? i guess ganun na nga yun, through anything put on a smile for your fans even if your heart is aching. hindi ba namatay yung tatay niya at kapatid sunod sunod.
ok just venting hindi ko naman favorito si sawajiri kaya lang celeb bashing talaga ang nangyari.

Nakita niyo na po ba yung interiew niya sa Super Morning kung saan for the first two minutes she was just staring blankly into space...tapos sa dulo the reporter (nga ba?) ended up crying as well XD Kala ko tlga mababadtrip siya kasi di sumasagot ng maayos tong si Sawajiri..
