This should end well. Over the weekend, it was announced that Hollywood is moving forward with its live-action Naruto.

Michael Gracey first made his name in visual effects and is currently directing The Greatest Showman with Zac Efron and Hugh Jackman.
As ANN points out, Lionsgate secured the film rights to Naruto back in 2015.
Kishimoto Sensei involved with the production and is really excited. Pre-production art revealed.

As with most Hollywood films, just because it’s in pre-production, that doesn’t mean the movie will be shot and released. Thankfully.
That being said, here is how some folks are reacting to the latest announcement:

Here’s an idea: skip it like leg day.
If the movie is decent then that means it’s already better than the source material ;P
You bastard ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)I will reserve my judgement… but if I hear there is even one flashback in this movie. Im out! #nofiller
Let’s wait till the actors and Scarlet Johannson get cast…
…then we will see a few Tweets, I mean, see the Internet react.
How long will the filler be?
Unless 3/4 of the movie is flashbacks it will be nothing like the anime.
The first Neogaf post gave me AIDS.
The incredible amount of racism under the surface of that post is overwhelming, like my feet after work.
awsome
