The popular Naruto series is the next anime franchise to receive a live-action adaptation — and it may just be in good hands.The person scripting the live-action movie version of the anime has been revealed, and she intends to use the passion that created Naruto to inspire her version of it. Speaking with Variety, Tasha Huo — the project’s writer — discussed tackling adaptations of pre-existing intellectual properties. Talking about it and other upcoming writing endeavors, Huo stated that “adapting iconic characters or IP makes the writing of it easier, because the passion for writing it is already there. 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.”Given how massively popular the franchise is, these encouraging words are sure to help alleviate fan concerns over doing the material justice. Developed by Lionsgate, the upcoming Naruto adaptation comes in the wake of the Netflix One Piece TV series — a show that was very well-received following initial fan concerns. The fact that it was able to bring such a fantastical and grandiose series to life bodes well for the same thing potentially happening with Naruto. Previous attempts at adapting anime into worthy live-action shows and movies have not fared nearly as well over the years, but with Netflix’s One Piece opening the floodgates, that may finally be changing.One Piece Manga and Live-Action Collide in New “Grand Line” Collaboration Artwork
