Well, everyone probably knows this by now... If you keep up with Death Note.
From http://www.movieweb.com:
"Warner Bros. has picked up the Japanese manga series Death Note and plans to develop into a live-action film.
According to Variety, the studio has set screenwriters Charley and Vlas Parlapanides to adapt.
The story centers on a college student who accidentally finds a misplaced "death note," infusing him with the power to kill merely by writing anyone's name on the page while picturing the person in his mind.
The 13-volume manga is a bestseller in Japan, and the film will be drawn from the first three installments, written by Tsugumi Ohba and illustrated by Takeshi Obata for Shueisha Inc.
No production date has been set."

And also if you tsearch 'Death Note' on IMDb it comes up with 'Death Note (2011).'
Sounds pretty official...

To: Vertigo Entertainment
Dear Vertigo Entertainment,
It has come to our attention that an American Live-Action remake of Death Note is going to be made. And it has become a rumour that Zac Effron is nominated to be the cast of Light Yagami or known as KIRA.
We, the real Death Note fans around the world are strongly AGAINST it.
This has nothing to do with being personal to Zac, instead, we respect him as he is and his past work.
However, we as fans of Death Note, who know this story (manga, anime version and Japanese Live-Action version) inside out, don't see anything significant & substantial between Zac and Light.
Please consider this deeply as we know that you are willing to make the movie good with its authentic strong ideas not to be missed and drifted away.
Sincerely,
mikosam
