The Adam Wingard-directed Death Note film didn't blow fans or critics away, but it seems the live-action adaptation of the popular anime and manga series pulled in enough viewers to warrant a sequel.

As part of a larger article discussing Netflix's movie division, The Hollywood Reporter reveals that the streaming giant described the 2017 feature as "a 'sizable' success" and is currently developing a follow-up film.

While no director has signed on to the project, writer Greg Russo, who is currenty working on the forthcoming Mortal Kombat film, will reportedly pen the script for the sequel.

Netflix's Death Note stars Nat Wolf as Light Turner, Margaret Qualley as Mia Sutton, and Lakeith Stanfield as “L.”

I... think I didn't hate the first movie. I just don't really have a single clear memory of it.

I never saw the anime, not my thing. The first one on Netflix was alright to me, nothing amazing or leaving me wanting a sequel...but I was entertained for a bit. Don't care either way...

First movie was a terrible adaption of an idea that would actually make a good movie. The biggest issue (besides the lead actor being awful and his character an idiot) was that it didn't firmly establish the rules of the death note and in the end it just became a mind control device that could do anything, which broke the entire movie.

Willem Defoe was really the only good thing about the Netflix one. This probably won't be any better.

@L0RDbuckethead - Yep, casting Willem Dafoe as Ryuk was spot on. Every else was horse shit.

Please don't. I hated the first one. It was only afterwards I watched the anime to see how different it was, which made me hate the movie even more.
