The sinister Ryuk is on full display in the all new trailer for the upcoming release of Death Note later this year. Over the past few months we've had a few glimpses of Adam Wingard's version of Ryuk, but man did he exceed expectations so far for this hollywood adaptation of the manga.
We are all holding our breath, however, as anime and manga adaptations in Hollywood don't seem to live up to the hype. Don't get us wrong Death Note looks visually stunning and the cast is holding up in the trailers, but they are just that.
