Is this L? The American adaption of Japanese horror manga Death Note filmed a Seattle Police press conference at the Vancouver Art Gallery this afternoon.
The Japanese Death Note — written by Tsugumi Ohba and illustrated by Takeshi Obata — is about a young student Light who finds a supernatural notebook abandoned by the God of Death that allows him to kill people by writing their names in it. Light decides to use it as a force of good by compiling a list of evil people and so he becomes known as Kira, the Japanese word for Killer. A young woman seeks him out intent on becoming the second Kira to create a world “cleansed of evil”. A detective known as L tries to stop them.
The American adaption is set in Seattle with Nat Wolff (The Fault in Our Stars) as Light Turner, Margaret Qualley (The Leftovers) as Mia Sutton and Keith Stanfield (Straight Outta Compton) as L.
Is this L at today’s Seattle press conference?
From the other side.
Adam Wingard directs, based on a script written by Jeremy Slater.

After the Vancouver Art Gallery, production moved east to MacLeod’s Books. Is this where Light finds the death notebook?
Death Note is expected to film in metro Vancouver until August 30th (date subject to change), according to the Directors Guild of Canada – BC Production List.
