OK LIONSGATE IF you're gonna do a LIVE ACTION, you will need to hire these Japanese actors/actresses who did the stage PLAY because these are beyond the BEST looking CAST EVER!

It'll be hilarious if they use the actual Mount Rushmore as the setting.
Joke aside, I'm mildly curious to see how this ends. |

The creator of Naruto did a interview a while back on Shonen Jump where he was asked the question of casting. Before I found this out I was about to join a angry mob demanding there should be no white people cast in the movie.

So even Kishimoto views Naruto and Sakura as being Caucasian.
Interesting... |

I have a bad feeling about this though. I hope it does well, but Naruto doesn't really seem like a series that'll make a good (or at least not super cheap looking) live action movie. |

I can't get nerd rage about this, because it's hollywood. So they were gonna do this later down the line since Naruto had a strong oversea's following as well.

I'm not even confident this will even get out of Development Hell. Those American takes on Bleach and Death Note never happened, so this might not end up being any different.

Unless I see some report saying that they've actually started shooting the film, then it's best not to get hyped up for it, if at all. I would rather see the Five Nights at Freddy's movie instead.

@mrsatan G-Saviour was made by Sunrise. AFAIK, there's only one Sunrise and it's not in the USA.

It's not like Naruto has been beloved lately; people couldn't even wait for it to end. And the live-action Attack on Titan already made changes to a popular series, so that's no longer taboo these days. Besides, think of it this way: they can make changes so that Sasuke is no longer so damn emo and NaruSaku could finally happen!
Though Japanese is not one of them - only less than one-half of 1% of US population (and how many of them are good actors). Anyways, Naruto is more popular in America than One Piece (now pirates, that's been done to a science in the West), and this could just be in development hell by the time the fandom of Naruto is fading. |

Let's be sure to save that in-case people get in an uproar about racial casting. And it makes sense. "Naruto" took place in a fantasy world where even white people had Japanese names. When "The Last Airbender" as being made, I used that defense. Remember, it was before the movie actually came out, and having an entirely Asian cast wouldn't have saved it. |

They are actually doing that? Hell, yes! Change the security guard to a woman and Mila Jovovich could play her. 
Seriously, guys. They're gonna gut it, and count on the brand as a license to print money. The only option is to develop a sense of humor and bloodshot benevolence for whatever the end result offers. Creative types here are going to try and reimagine the wheel, but simply put: If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I would love to be wrong, though. I really would. |

I actually want to know if this will be done...
And for the characters I feel like I'm one of the few that actually want American actors, I mean, most Naruto's characters look american/not Japanese. My dream cast will be something like this: Naruto... American, Australian Sasuke... Japanese, Korean Sakura... American, British Hinata... Japanese Kakashi....? |
