Adam Wingard replaces Shane Black as director of Death Note

April 29, 2015 by Gary Collinson

The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that Adam Wingard (You’re Next, The Guest) has signed on to replace Shane Black (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Iron Man 3) as director on Warner Bros.’ upcoming adaptation of the manga series Death Note.

The script for Death Note has been written by Jeremy Slater (Fantastic Four) and tells the story of “a student who discovers a supernatural notebook that allows him to kill anyone by writing the victim’s name, who then decides to cleanse the world of whom he deems evil. As the student is tracked by a reclusive police officer, a cat-and-mouse game ensues.”

Wingard is first slated to shoot the horror movie The Woods this summer, with (probably unsubstantiated) rumours suggesting this could be a sequel to The Blair Witch Project.
