Netflix is counting to beef up their exclusive film library. They have now entered in to final negotiations to pick up Adam Wingard’s American remake of Death Note, which was originally at Warner Bros. Netflix is already eyeing a June start date, according to Variety.

Wolff plays a student who discovers a supernatural notebook that allows him to kill anyone by simply writing their name in it. A game of cat-and-mouse ensues when a cop picks up the trail.
