Death Note is a 2017 American supernatural crime thriller film directed by Adam Wingard from a screenplay by Charles and Vlas Parlapanides and Jeremy Slater, loosely based on the manga of the same name by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata. It stars Nat Wolff, LaKeith Stanfield, Margaret Qualley, Shea Whigham, Paul Nakauchi, Jason Liles, and Willem Dafoe.
