Scene from ‘Naruto’ Publicity “Naruto”, one of the most famous characters in Japanese comics and animations, will get a film with actors in Hollywood, directed and written by Destin Daniel Cretton (“Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings”) . The news was released by the magazine “Hollywood Reporter” this Friday (23). “When I found out about Destin’s involvement, I had just seen his action blockbuster and thought he would be the perfect director for ‘Naruto’,” said the character’s creator, Kishimoto Masashi, in a statement. “After enjoying his other films and understanding that his specialty is creating solid dramas about people, I was convinced that there is no other director for ‘Naruto’. In really getting to know Destin, I discovered that he is an open-minded director who is willing to accept my suggestions and felt strongly that we would be able to cooperate together in the production process.” First published in Japan in 1999, the “Naruto” manga has become a cultural phenomenon around the world, with more than 250 million copies in more than 60 countries and territories. The anime adaptation also became one of the most popular on the planet. There is no release date yet, but an adaptation with actors has been a long-time desire of Lionsgate (from “The Hunger Games”). In 2015, the studio hired Michael Gracey (“The Greatest Showman”) to direct, but production never happened.
