Destin Daniel Cretton to Direct Lionsgate’s Live-Action ‘Naruto’ Film

Manga classic, Naruto is coming to the big screen in an all-new live-action film written and directed by Destin Daniel Cretton for Lionsgate.

Producers on the Naruto film include Avi Arad, Ari Arad, and Emmy Yu for Arad Productions, as well as Jeremy Latcham, Cretton, and Jeyun Munford for Hisako.

Incase you’re not familiar with the manga, it follows the journey of Naruto Uzumaki, a young ninja with dreams of becoming leader of his village. He faces an uphill battle in this mission, given the fact that the Nine-Tailed Fox spirit sealed within him at birth once brought destruction upon the place.
