Do you think Nat Wolff a great fit for Light Yagami?

Will he grab a potato chip and eat it?

Eh, can't be worse than the japanese movie.

Never got around to watch them, but I was told they were really bad.

Doesn't really fit. They need to find somebody a bit more squeaky, clean cut.

This guy was a part of one of the first ever Nickelodeon-manufactured bands. Maybe I'm biased, but no.. Just no.

Nat Wolf..?

I thought the Japanese live actions were okay but Americans gonna fuck this up so bad DragonBall Evolution style.

I always thought Zac Effron would make a good Light Yagami. He has the look XD this guy looks nothing like Light... o~o I don't think any exercise or makeup with change that either

Samuel L. Jackson could make an awesome Raito. :D

Meh, I'd argue Light looks more causasian than asian anyway

Yes, yes it is. Caucasians are made up. Only asians exist #Illumaniticonfirmed
