    The official website for Death Note Light up the NEW world, this year's live-action Death Note sequel film,unveiled a new poster visual on Friday. The visual shows Misa Amane and cyber terrorist Yūki Shien with Light on the left, L's successor Ryūzaki with L on the right, and Death Note investigator Tsukuru Mishima in the center.

    The new film will open in Japan on October 29. Those who purchased the first batch of advance tickets for the film received a ticket with special art featuring Ryuk, as well as a folding fan themed after the six Death Notes. The second batch will go on sale this Saturday with a clear file featuring the poster visuals for the first live-action Death Note film and this upcoming film.

    In Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata's original 2003-2006 supernatural suspense manga, a teenager named Light finds a notebook with which he can put people to death by writing their names. He begins a self-anointed crusade against the criminals of the world, and a cat-and-mouse game begins with the authorities and one idiosyncratic genius detective.

    In the new film's story, a highly advanced information society is beset by global cyber-terrorism in 2016. New charismatic figures, who "inherited the DNA" of Light (previously played Tatsuya Fujiwara) and the detective L (Ken'ichi Matsuyama), emerge. The successors of the two geniuses will wage a war over six Death Notes on Earth.

    A crucial plot element will be the "Six-Note Rule": only six Death Notes are allowed to exist at a time in the human world. Of course, the Shinigami (Gods of Death) themselves are limited to the number of Death Notes. Therefore, up to six Shinigami may exist in the human world. This rule existed in the original manga, but previous adaptations in the franchise have not used this rule thus far.

    The film will star:
    Masaki Suda (live-action Assassination Classroom's Karma Akabane, live-action Kuragehime's Kuranosuke Koibuchi) as Yūki Shien, a cyber terrorist who reveres Kira.

    Sousuke Ikematsu (The Last Samurai's Higen, MOZU's Kazuhiko Shingai) as Ryūzaki, L's successor and a world-famous detective.

    Masahiro Higashide (live-action Parasyte's Hideo Shimada, live-action Ao Haru Ride's Kō Mabuchi) as Tsukuru Mishima, a "Death Note otaku" and an investigator pursuing the Death Notes
    [​IMG]
    Rina Kawaei (Azumi: Bakumatsu-hen stage play) as Sakura Aoi, the most terrible Death Note user ever, an indiscriminate murderer, and the complete opposite of Light Yagami.
    [​IMG]
    Mina Fujii as Shō Nanase, an investigator on the Death Note task force.
    [​IMG]
    Eiichiro Funakoshi as Kenichi Mikuriya, a Supreme Court justice who possesses a Death Note.
    [​IMG]
    Erika Toda as Misa Amane (Toda is reprising the role from the previous live-action films.)
    [​IMG]
    Shidou Nakamura as Ryuk (Nakamura is reprising the role from the previous live-action films and anime.)
    [​IMG]
    Sota Aoyama as Tōta Matsuda (Matsuda is reprising the role from the previous live-action films.)
    [​IMG]
    Shinsuke Sato (live-action Gantz, Gantz: Perfect Answer, Library Wars films) is directing the film. The film is a "forbidden sequel" to the two earlier live-action Death Note films, 2006's Death Note and Death Note: The Last Name. The film is shooting in overseas locations, and Warner Brothers will distribute.
