With the cooperation and support of Viz Pictures, AnimeNEXT is proud to announce that it will be hosting the East Coast premiere of the first live-action Death Note movie during its convention this June.

Death Note stars Tatuya Fujiwara as Light Yagami, a Japanese university student who discovers a mysterious notebook and instructions that state that if he writes down the name of a human inside the book, that person will die. Yagami takes it upon himself to start ridding the world of criminals, and it's up to the world's greatest detective L (Ken'ichi Matsuyama) to stop his killing spree.

The movie will be screened only once during the convention, and will be dubbed, featuring the voices of Brad Swaile as Light, convention guest Brian Drummond as Ryuk, and Alessandro Juliani as L. Please continue to check the website periodically for the exact time and location.
