Death Note - the Last Name -

The concluding part of the Death Note real-life adaptation movie titled "Death Note - the Last Name -" will be screened in Japan from 3 Nov which is earlier than the initially announced timeslot of Dec. Considering the fact that the first part will be shown in Singapore next month from 19 Oct after its release in Japan during June this year, I assume we will be able to see the concluding instalment by the Chinese New Year period next Feb. I can't wait to catch the movie in the cinema even though I have plans to buy the DVD when it is released but the date is still undecided. Besides, it is still not known whether both parts will be released at one go or separately.

In conjunction with the upcoming launch of the movie, NTV will be showing the first instalment for the first time on TV on 27 Oct (Friday) at 9pm. What makes this broadcast more special is the fact that this will be a director's cut version which should mean that it has more footage than what was shown in the theatre version.

In addition, there is also the making-of DVD titled "DEATH NOTE the Last Name Profile Report From L" where Matsuyama Kenichi who plays L will take on the role of the narrator. This DVD is only available for rental from 27 Sep just like the first making of DVD, "Shougen" where the narrator was Toda Erika who plays Amane Misa. According to the movie's official website, this DVD comes with the multi-angle feature which allows for 3 different sets of profiles to be viewed. Besides serving as a revision material for what has happened in the first part, the DVD also contains backstage footage for the second part, interviews of the cast as well as hidden images which are to be discovered by the viewer. This DVD lasts for 15 minutes and its catalog number is VPBF-16072.
