I would hope that after the last airbender and dragon ball evolution they would learn that this shouldn't be done. When you have a long running animated story that is self contained but had years to develop side characters and set up backstory you can't recreate that in a 2 hour movie.

I'm not a Naruto fan., but If this does go through, folks really won't have to complain about Naruto inevitably being played by a white actor: it's what the creator wants.

the creator of Naruto, Masashi Kishimoto, went on record saying he was happy Naruto was designed with blond spikey hair because after the series went international it made the character more relatable to western audiences. He later stated that for a live action version, they'd need to cast a white American actor to play Naruto (despite him being ethnically Japanese) to ensure a good likeness, so he's sticking with his story.

This won't end well

they gonna start from the beginning which is a bad idea just like that dragon ball movie.....if they want any chance at a decent movie they'd start at shippuden and dont go for a grounded realistic approach. None of this will happen tho and we'll have another trash anime to live action adaptation

lol @ all the ninja villages being white, with the exception of the rain (and maybe sand) village being a bunch of ethnics ala the last airbender film

naruto is drawn to have blonde hair and blue eyes

they gonna cast the uchihas like a bunch of vampires

 

[FLATOP]

This movie will be trash

 

[chico25]

This gonna piss some people off but......I think the key to making a good movie would be to barely follow the anime at all

They're entirely different formats

Also........... white ninjas

I would agree with you since that is how they do with comicbook movies, taking the characters and creating a new story that would fit in their world. However that was what led to Dragonball Evolution.
