L: Change the WorLd (also known as Death Note: L, Change the WorLd and Death Note III) is the third film in the Death Note live-action film series. It is an original spin-off story focusing on L after the events of the previous film, Death Note: The Last Name. Director Hideo Nakata told The Daily Yomiuri that he wanted to exhibit L's "human side" that was not exhibited in the Death Note series. The film was adapted into a light novel with the same name on December 25, 2007 by "M".
