The final installment of the Death Note movie trilogy, L Change the World, will be playing two nights only in the St. Louis area Wednesday April 29th and Thursday April 30th. There will be one screening each night at AMC Chesterfield 14, St. Louis Mills 18, and AMC Esquire 7 at 7:30pm. The Wednesday showing will be in subtitles, and the Thursday screening will beoverdubbed. Exclusive interviews with director Hideo Nakata and actor Kenichi Matsuyama (L), as well as behind-the-scenes footage of the making of the film, will be added to each nights screenings.

Though the film is inspired by the popular manga, the third act is an entirely original story following L’s last 23 days alive after he sacrifices himself to the death note to defeat Light Yagami. In his final days, L takes on a bio-terrorist group hellbent on destroying humanity. As he fights against the clock to find an antidote for a deadly terrorist virus, he also most save the lives and care for two young children. I would bet these characters will in up being Near and Mello.

As of writing this blog, I’ve only seen the first film which I really enjoyed. However, since this movie plot is so vastly different from the book, which is arguably my favorite manga ever, I’ve got my doubts about L Change the World. I still plan on giving it a chance, so maybe I will see you there this Wednesday.

For all the screenings throughout the country check out the L Change the World site.
