‘Naruto’ Film in the Works at Lionsgate With Destin Daniel Cretton Directing


Lionsgate has closed a deal with director "Shang-Chi" director Destin Daniel Cretton to write and direct a live-action film adaptation of "Naruto."

“In actually meeting Destin, I also found him to be an open-minded director who was willing to embrace my input, and felt strongly that we would be able to cooperate together in the production process,” Kishimoto continued. Cretton previously collaborated with Lionsgate on “The Glass Castle.” The studio’s James Myers, who oversaw that project, will also oversee “Naruto” with Jon Humphrey. Cretton is also set to direct a “Shang-Chi” sequel, and most recently executive produced the series “American Born Chinese” for Disney+.
