The world of anime has become quite popular in the West, which is why whenever one of the products stands out, live action interpretations are made under a Western publication. We have examples such as the recent series of Yuyu Hakusho and One Piece on the platform Netflix. And within all those franchises, there was one that was still pending, and it could not be any other than narutothe story of a ninja who grew up to become a legend in his town.
With this in mind, it has been reported that the film of this saga is a fact, with the production of the company Lionsgatewho for those who don't know her, has worked in the franchise of John Wick. They even already have the director confirmed and it will be neither more nor less than Destin Daniel Crettonwho co-wrote and directed the film Marvel, Shang-Chi and the legend of the ten rings, also having the task of being the scriptwriter for the adaptation to come.
But that's not all, since creton has the approval of Masashi Kishimoto (creator of the franchise), in order to do the work, commented that he will pay attention to the proposals that the mangaka sends him in relation to the film. Here what was commented by Kishimoto:
When I found out about Destin's attachment, it was right after watching a hit action movie of his, and I thought he would be the perfect director for Naruto. After enjoying his other films and understanding that his strength is creating solid dramas about people, I became convinced that there is no other director for Naruto. When I met Destin, I also discovered that he was an open-minded director who was willing to accept my input and felt strongly that we could cooperate together in the production process.
For its part, Adam FogelsonPresident of Lionsgate Motion Picture Group commented the following:
This manga classic is loved by millions of fans around the world, and Destin has provided a vision for the film that we think will excite that huge fan base, as well as those who are new. he. Avi and I have had the pleasure of working together before and I know that as we collaborate with Destin and the team on Naruto, we are in extraordinary hands.
For now, there is no confirmed release date for the film and the leading actors have not been selected either.

Editor's note: I am excited but at the same time scared by this film, because film adaptations almost don't turn out well, that's why series are made. But the manga author is involved, so that gives me some hope about this project.
