Manga adapts real human works, often jokingly referred to by fans as "miserable live-action", but last year, Netflix successfully saved a lot of face in this field with the two masterpieces "One Piece" and "Youyou Hakushu". Just last Saturday, Lionsgate brought us an update on the live-action version of Naruto, which is rumored to be helmed by the talented Destin-Daniel Clayton (director of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings).
In fact, rumors about the live-action version of Naruto have been circulating as early as 2015, when it was revealed that Lionsgate had signed with Michael Gracie to direct the work, with Avi Arad and his son Ali Arad as producers. However, the official announcement revealed that the director has been changed to Destin, which can't help but make people speculate, is it a mistake in the past news, or has there been a change in the cooperation between the two sides?
For the live-action version this time, when Kishi Kishimoto, the original author of the Hokage, learned that Destin would direct this work, he happened to ** an action movie directed by him, and he deeply admired Destin's talent. After watching Destin's other film works and learning that he is good at portraying characters, Kishimoto is convinced that Desteen is the best person to direct the Hokage's live-action version.
Kishimoto also revealed that after the official meeting with Destin, he found the director to be open-minded and willing to accept opinions from all sides. This makes Kishimoto full of confidence in the cooperation between the two parties, believing that under the direction of Destin, the live-action version of "Naruto" will present gorgeous fight scenes and profound plots, and become an excellent movie that will be eye-catching. Kishimoto is full of anticipation and excitement about this.
