Adam Wingard happy to work with Netflix on Death Note

Both the anime and manga can get really gruesome at times. Wingard has said that part of the reason he was happy to be working on the movie with Netflix was the creative freedom to make the movie the way he wanted.

Unlike films that have theatrical releases, Netflix doesn’t have to abide by any rules or regulations. Allowing Wingard and his team to make the most gruesome version of the film they would want without having to go through the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) to get a rating.

As a result, the production team can stick to the adult material that Death Note is known for. They can also incorporate as much violence and nudity as they want.
