Naruto Live Action Script Has Been Getting A Rewritten Instead Of Being Destroyed

 

Despite the anime series being loved by all, and a lot of people give their hundred percent time to watching it, it is still has to get a rewrite because of it limping behind.

On Wednesday, The Hollywood Reporter broke the news that an upcoming live-action adaptation of Naruto was getting a rewrite from Jon and Erich Hoeber, The duos who are best known for writing the Red films.

NARUTO being Created by Masashi Kishimoto is a manga admist anime movie that follows a young ninja of the same name who is shunned by the people of his village. 

Some 12 years before the series begins, the leader of the village sacrificed his life in order to stop a rampaging demon, nine-tailed fox by sealing it inside Naruto’s body. 

Now, Naruto must endure scorn from his fellow villagers and prove himself as a ninja, all while shouting “dattebayo!” a lot.

It’s a distinctly shonen story, and one that has some essential Japanese influences.

Still yet, Hollywood wants Michael Gracey: a former VFX artist, to helm the adaptation, although he’ll only be making his directorial debut later this year with The Greatest Showman.  

Naruto is an incredibly long  series with many episodes that doesn’t easily translate to film. And live-action anime adaptations don’t typically turn out too well, even if we don’t consider the inevitable whitewashing for this film since it will be made in the United States.

Although, rewrites are sometimes seen as a sign of trouble, but they’re the least of the live-action Naruto’s worries.
