I found out about Destin's involvement in the project right after I saw his blockbuster movie and thought he would be a great director for Naruto. After watching his other films, I realized that his strong point is the release of solid dramas about people. That's when I realized that no one else could make Naruto.
Destin Cretton will not only direct, but also co-screenwriter the Naruto film adaptation. In addition, Cretton will serve as a co-producer on the film; The film will be produced by Arad Productions, which worked on the film adaptation of Borderlands.
The film adaptation of Naruto, recalls The Hollywood Reporter, has been in the works since 2015. This is the first time a film has been given a specific director.
Kishimoto's manga has previously been adapted into either animated or live-action projects. Cretton will be the first to attempt to direct a live-action Naruto film adaptation.
There is no information yet about the film's cast; the release date for the Naruto film adaptation has not been announced.
