Both, but the differences between the adaptation are really appaling. Light, L and Misa are absolutely nothing at all like their original selves. In fact core elements of their characters are even reversed and they're essentially the opposite of what they used to be. Even Ryuk who's the best part of the movie got heavily changed (they made him much more antagonistic and invested whereas in the original he's more just a neutral party). These aren't the Death Note characters. They are different characters given similar names.
