They note that it&#8217;s not on the same budget level as their other features, including Brad Pitt&#8217;s <strong><em>War Machine<\/em><\/strong> and the David Ayer\/Will Smith collaboration <strong><em>Bright<\/em><\/strong>, but it&#8217;s still pretty beefy with a budget of $40-$50 million.<\/p>\n<p>In <strong><em>Death Note<\/em><\/strong>, &#8220;Wolff plays a student who discovers a supernatural notebook that allows him to kill anyone simply by writing the victim\u2019s name. A cat-and-mouse game ensues when he\u2019s tracked by a reclusive police officer.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Death Note<\/em><\/strong> will start production in July, so we should expect more casting announcements soon.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keep up with the latest genre news with the new issue of SciFiNow.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Warner Bros drops Death Note but Netflix steps in<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":39,"featured_media":86245,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"MSN_Categories":"Uncategorized","MSN_Publish_Option":false,"MSN_Is_Local_News":false,"MSN_Is_AIAC_Included":"Empty","MSN_Location":"[]","MSN_Add_Feature_Img_On_Top_Of_Post":false,"MSN_Has_Custom_Author":false,"MSN_Custom_Author":"","MSN_Has_Custom_Canonical_Url":false,"MSN_Custom_Canonical_Url":""},"categories":[2615,3],"tags":[2361],"acf":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/death-note.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86244"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/39"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=86244"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86244\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/86245"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=86244"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=86244"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=86244"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
