<p>In a Madman Newsletter talking about the release of <em>Death Note: Light up the NEW World</em> in the cinemas it says</p>

  <p>In 2016, society is afflicted with cyber-terrorism.

<p>Now I don't recall it ever being said in the anime that there was a limit to the number of Death Notes, however since the new movie is set after <em>Death Note 2: The Last Name</em> and it's incompatible with the anime/manga because</p>

  <p> L takes his own life to expose Light as Kira by writing his own name in the Death Note</p>

<p>I am wondering if there were any new or conflicting rules to the Death Note in the Live Action Movies compared to the Anime/Manga.</p>

@LightYagami that is what happened in the Death Note Live movie 1 and 2. The new 2016 version is basically a reboot of the old movie 1 & 2 version by making it a serial.
