    American movie studio Vertigo Entertainment is apparently working on a remake of the popular franchise "Death Note," which has been turned into three live-action films in Japan. The news was quietly revealed in production notes for the horror films "Shutter" and "The Strangers."

    According to the notes, Vlas and Charles Parlapanides have been tapped to pen the screenplay. They are currently writing for the upcoming TV series "Undercover" on The CW.

    No other details have been revealed at this point.

    Sounds pretty sick, but it might fail so bad.

    Do I really want to watch something that has a 80% chance of bombing harder than the original did?
