Director Michael Gracey has provided an update on the potential live-action Naruto film, saying if series creator Masashi Kishimoto isn't on board, the project won't happen.
In an interview with Collider, Gracey explained he's concerned about getting the movie right and doing justice to the original anime. The filmmaker wants to closely work with Kishimoto on the project and won't do it unless Kishimoto is "excited" about the script.
"So many Hollywood adaptations of really popular manga series just don’t get it right, and for me what was really important was that if I was gonna do Naruto, I wanted to actually work with Kishimoto and get a script to a stage where he would look at it and be excited about realizing it," Gracey said. "Because no one knows the world better than the person who created it."
