'NARUTO' is a ninja battle manga written by Masashi Kishimoto that was serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump from 1999 to 2014. It is extremely popular not only in Japan but also overseas, with over 250 million copies sold in over 60 countries and regions.
Comments from the main staff involved in the work are as follows.
Director/Screenwriter Destin Daniel Cretton:
It was a real honor to meet Professor Kishimoto in Tokyo and hear about his vast vision for the world he has created. We are excited to work together to bring Naruto to theaters.
Original work by Masashi Kishimoto:
When I heard about Destin's appointment as director, I had just seen his big action movie, so I thought he would be the perfect director for Naruto. After that, when I watched his other works and learned that he was a director who specializes in honest human drama, I became convinced that there was no one else to direct ``NARUTO'' other than him. . Furthermore, I met the director and he was very flexible and accepted my opinions, so I felt strongly that we would be able to work together on the production. In other words, the live-action movie ``NARUTO'' is sure to be a great action and deep drama. I can't help but look forward to the movie now.
Lionsgate Chairman Adam Fogelson:
This comic book classic is loved by millions of fans around the world, and Destin's vision for the film is sure to thrill not only its vast fan base, but also those who are experiencing it for the first time. I believe you will. I am confident that we will be able to deliver this work with Avi, who I have worked with before, as well as Director Destin and the production team.
Arad Production Producers Avi Arad & Ali Arad:
Naruto is one of the best manga ever written and has captivated the hearts and emotions of people all over the world. It is a pleasure and an honor to work with the legendary Professor Kishimoto and the respected team at Shueisha. We couldn't be more excited to have Director Destin at the helm and bring this important story to life under the Lionsgate banner.
Director Cretton also directed and wrote the script for the 25th Marvel Cinematic Universe film, Shang-Chi: The Legend of the Ten Rings, which was released in 2021. A sequel is also in the works.
Shang-Chi, the superhero who appears in 'Shang-Chi,' is a user of the legendary Ten Rings bracelet, but he is also a martial arts master who has mastered various martial arts, and one of the highlights of the movie is his intense action. I would like to expect similar action elements in the film adaptation of ``NARUTO.''
