Last night Viz Pictures announced that the DVD of DEATH NOTE II is expected to hit the shelves on February 10, 2009. The movie is a direct sequel to the first live adaptation of DEATH NOTE.
The movie begins with Light Yagami assisting in hunt of a serial killer known as ‘Kira’. In the mean time, Light continues his search to find out L’s real name. Bonus features will include the making of DEATH NOTE II and the original Japanese trailer.
DEATH NOTE fans may also be interested that Viz is having two promotional offers. Fans are encouraged to fill out a survey at viz-pictures.com, where ten random people will win a special DEATH NOTE II poster. The survey must be filled out before February 28. SHONEN JUMP readers are also encouraged to enter another contest where ten random people will win a copy of the DVD and three of them will be signed by one of the lead actors (Kenichi Matsuyama, Tatsuya Fujiwara and Erika Toda). The details will be available in the March 2009 issue, which will be available on February 3.
