L: Change the WorLd (also known as Death Note: L, change the WorLd or Death Note III), directed by Hideo Nakata, is a spin-off film and a sequel to the Death Note film series. The series is based on the manga Death Note by Tsugumi Ohba illustrated by Takeshi Obata, but follows an original story line. Hideo Nakata told The Daily Yomiuri that he wanted to exhibit L's "human side" that was not exhibited in the Death Note series. Two versions of the film were shown in the United States on April 29 and 30, 2009. The first version of the film shown was in Japanese with English subtitles and the second version shown was dubbed in English with the same voice actors from the English dubbed Death Note anime like the US release of its predecessors. The film was released on DVD in the US on August 18, 2009. The film was adapted into a light novel with the same name on December 25, 2007 by "M". \[Death Note Wiki\] Screenshots: [](http://i.minus.com/intF4bDYXj4VK.png) [](http://i.minus.com/ibb4RHzGj1ffnj.png) [](http://i.minus.com/ixsCntZC7LzMj.png) [](http://i.minus.com/ibjlvunUhZFeo6.png) [](http://i.minus.com/iN07xaOvBiUpq.png)
