The Duffer brothers, the duo behind Stranger Things, have announced a new production company that's working with Netflix to bring multiple proj♓ects to the streaming 🀅service, including a live-action Death Note series.

reports Matt and Ross Duffer have formed Upside Down Pictures. On the slate of upcoming projects alongside Death Note: a Stranger Things spin-off that will be "🙈澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:1000% different" from the original series; a Stranger Things stage show with Billy Elliot director Stephen Daldry at the helm; a mysterious series from Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews, who were behind Netflix's Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance; and a series adaptation of Stephen King and Peter Straub‘s 1984 novel The Talisman (which was, funnily enough, seen being read by one of the characters in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Stranger Things season 4, Volume 2).

In a statement, the Duffers said they aspire to create the sort of stories t🦩hat inspired them when they were growing up: "Stories that take place at𒀰 that beautiful crossroads where the ordinary meets the extraordinary, where big spectacle co-exists with intimate character work, where heart wins out over cynicism."

On the Death Note series, little is actually known though it will be "an entirely new take" from N♚etflix's poorly received 2017 live-action Death Note movie. The original show follows▨ Light Yagami, a teenager who comes into possession of a mysterious notebook that grants him the power to kill anyone he pleases simply by writing their name onto the book's pages. After a few successful experiments, Light decides to adopt the moniker Kira and use the notebook to rid the world of evil, but the police aren't thrilled about their new rogue ally.

The series' other main protagonist, the enigmatic L, is a world-renowned detective hired to discover Kira's identity and bring him to justice. Meawhile, Light's mission to stamp out violent crime becomes increasingly immoral as he's forced to commit wicked crimes to maintain his coverup. The central conflict of Death Note is the strategic cat-and-mouse chase between Light and L, two highly intelligent people desperate tꦏo come out on top. The upcoming Netflix show will be the first 🌸live-action Death Note adaptation to follow a series format.

Meanwhile, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Stranger Things season 5 continues to be in the works following the success of season 4. For more, check out the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best Netflix shows you can watch right now.

After earning an English degree from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor while freelancing for places like SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired ༺on as GamesRadar's west co🦩ast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
