Remake of Death Note?

OMG!
When I was surfing the net about Death Note (I'm a great fan of Death Note), I saw THIS!
I was soooo excited.
Quote from Wikipedia:

Death Note has been optioned for a live-action Hollywood remake. A
2007 article in The Star (Malaysia) states that more than ten film companies in
the United States expressed interest in creating a remake. Vertigo Entertainment
is currently set to develop an American Death Note remake. In April 2009, it was
announced that Warner Bros. had acquired the rights to make a live-action
version of the manga, and had hired Charley and Vlas Parlapanides to adapt the
script. The new film will be based upon the original manga series rather than
the existing live-action films. It appears that the movie is on the fast track
to start filming, possibly as soon as this Fall for a Fall 2010
release. Sources at Vertigo are confirming that the final draft of the
script has been greenlit and casting is about to begin. No word yet on
casting choices or whether or not the "Shinigami" characters will be CGI or not,
but the studio is apparently reaching out to Joseph Gordon Levitt for a role,
though that role is unknown.

As you see, Japan's Death Note had disappointed me as its not actually based on Death Note manga; and guess what? I was cursing when I watch the movie ==''
I really happy Hollywood chose to follow the comic's storyline, hope they do it in a right way. As us, DN manga fan won't disappointed again; and... try not to confused those audience that haven't read DN manga before.
