Nat Wolff is currently in final negotiations to star in Warner Bros.' live-action "Death Note," which is being adapted by Adam Wingard. According to Variety, most people will know Wolff from his breakout performances in the movie adaptations of John Green's books.

According to IMDB, Wolff played Issac in "The Fault in Our Stars" film adaptation. In the movie, Issac is the best friend of Augustus Waters who eventually turns blind. Meanwhile, Wolff plays the male lead, as Quentin Jacobsen, in the movie adaptation of "Paper Towns."

Wolff is reportedly being cast to play the main character, Light Yagami, for the Hollywood live-action adaptation of "Death Note." However, this information has yet to be confirmed.

For the very few who have not read, heard or watched anything about "Death Note," here is the plot summary from Anime News Network:

"Yagami Light is an ace student with great prospects, who's bored out of his mind. One day he finds the "Death Note," a notebook from the realm of the Death Gods, with the power to kill people in any way he desires."

With the Death Note in hand, Light decides to create his perfect world, without crime or criminals. However, when criminals start dropping dead one by one, the authorities send the legendary detective, L, to track down the killer, and a battle of wits, deception and logic ensues."

To get into the details of the story, Light basically has the power to kill anyone he wishes with the Death Note. All he has to do is know the name of the person and right it down in the notebook, along with how he wants the person to die.
