The Death Note Collection will be a double feature of the live-action version of the popular series, based on the anime that was a smash hit for adult swim's import line-up.

Here's the official synopsis:

The battle betweenLight and L continues in Death Note II: The Last Name as Light joins theinvestigation team. L suspects Light of being Kira while Light attempts to learn L's real name. Time becomes even more crucial with the appearance of a second Kira. Whose name will be the last written in the Death Note?"
