The film is a "director's cut" of the anime series, in this case meaning a heavily-condensed, non-canon version of the original anime episodes.
Although the Japanese version was named "rewrite," the North American version was released as "relight."
The film aired on Nippon Television in Japan on August 31, 2007, and it was released on DVD on March 19, 2008. In the USA, the DVD was released on June 23, 2009.

Jul 12, 2021 · Light Yagami is an ace student with great prospects–and he’s bored out of his mind. But all that changes when he finds the Death Note, a notebook dropped by a rogue Shinigami. Any human whose name is written in the notebook dies, and now Light has vowed to use the power of the Death Note to rid the world of evil.
The plot doesn't really change, but I think they're still worth watching. There are extra scenes that were not in the anime and scenes that are done differently from how they were done in the series. If you watch them, be sure to watch Relight 2 through to the end of the credits.
