Anime live actions are not always a cup of tea for Anime lovers, as we have seen in the case of “Death Note” it disappointed the fan base terribly.
But, with high hopes we can expect a Naruto live action movie, which is a very ambitious project.
The original writer Tasha Huo said that her “script is done” on the anime adaptation’s first live-action and that now the new writer-director Destin Daniel Cretton is doing his stuff with the film making.
He was the mastermind behind the box office hit Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, and we all witnessed how beautifully he created the whole atmosphere of the movie, the very detailed interpretation of the Chinese cultural is still very fresh in Shang Chi, so we can expect him to do a good job with the Naruto live action as well.
Huo said that Cretton can give it a nuanced touch as his creative way of thinking will be very relatable with the audience.
As Naruto is a big world and has such intricate complex characters in it, it will be a very beautiful project for Cretton to create as his creative point of view towards Japanese culture will be a fresh take for the audience, because he had previous experiences with such characters.
Naruto is a big emotional fan for any Otaku. It started in 2002, and before that it was a Manga.
The impact it left on the whole anime culture is anything but undeniable.
Kishimoto said in a recent interview that, “When I heard of Destin’s attachment, it happened right after watching a blockbuster action film of his, and I thought he would be the perfect director for Naruto”.
Naruto’s character is very tricky as he had this demonic entity inside of him and he also holds a great deal of power.
With all that mixed up with Cretton’s perspective anime lovers are in for a treat.
