“Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” director Destin Daniel Cretton has a new project on the horizon. It’s one that’ll be of particular interest to anime fans. Long-running and beloved series “Naruto” is the next title to get a live-action adaptation!
Craig will write and direct the film for Lionsgate.
“Naruto” creator Masashi Kishimoto has given his blessing.
“When I heard of Destin’s attachment, it happened to be right after watching a blockbuster action film of his, and I thought he would be the perfect director for Naruto,” Kishimoto said in a statement. “After enjoying his other films and understanding that his forte is in creating solid dramas about people, I became convinced that there is no other director for Naturo. In actually meeting Destin, I also found him to be an open-minded director who was willing to embrace my input, and felt strongly that we would be able to cooperate together in the production process.”
We’ll let you know what we hear about this and other projects.
