First One Piece, now Naruto looks like it'll be going the way of live action, though unlike the sea-faring adventure, this one will be a feature film.
Live action adaptations of classic manga aren't a particularly new thing, but for the most part they've been produced and released in Japan, not necessarily targeted for a worldwide release. But Hollywood is clearly cottoning onto the fact that there's money to be made, as Netflix's live action take on One Piece has proven to be incredibly successful. Now, as reported by Variety, Naruto, one of the other former "Big Three" alongside One Piece and Bleach, looks to be also receiving a live action, Western adaptation.
In a list of 10 screenwriters to keep an eye on, Variety mentioned Tasha Huo, who's credits currently include the upcoming adaptation of Red Sonja, an animated Tomb Raider series, and apparently, a Naruto film. "Adapting iconic characters or IP makes the writing of it easier, because the passion for writing it is already there," Huo told Variety. "I'm so inspired by these characters already that it’s exciting to just take a part of their journey and try to tell that fun story in a way that would appeal to me as a fan."
