The Naruto live action movie will emphasize the main character more than the surrounding environment. This seems to be a continuation of the trend of live action adaptations of various famous anime titles. The latest news says that the Naruto live action story script has been completed.
Naruto Live Action Script Completed
The Naruto live action movie will focus more on the main character. The movie will not delve too deeply into aspects of Naruto’s vast world. This information was contained in film writer Tasha Huo’s interview with Entertainment Weekly.
According to Huo, the script for the movie has been finalized and the director is doing his job. Regarding the storyline, Tasha Huo added that she really admires the way Destin Daniel Cretton has structured the movie. She believes that the movie will be very relatable and can connect to the audience.
“I feel that this is a very special choice because he can emphasize how unique and special the character of Naruto is without being affected by the large scale of the world around him. I believe this can easily be done by someone who is not a true fan or who is only interested in money. The movie will really be lovingly presented to portray who Naruto really is, his characteristics, and the relationships he has.”
Modeling Other Successful Live Action Anime Adaptations
Back in February, Lionsgate officially finalized a deal with Destin director Daniel Cretton, who we know from Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. They have reached an agreement to produce a live action adaptation of the hit series Naruto.
In recent years, live action adaptations of anime have been widely accepted by various circles in Hollywood. This comes after the success of two previous projects, the live action series One Piece and Yu Yu Hakusho, which aired on the Netflix platform.
Both series managed to change the negative view of live action anime adaptations by achieving significant success.
Apart from the information above, there are not many details about this movie project that we can know. Let’s just wait for the development of further information from this Naruto live action project.
