This live-action movie feels like a last ditch effort from Shueisha to breathe some new life into the franchise again because Boruto just isn't cutting it. If it's done right, it's gonna be the biggest thing to happen to Naruto is a very long time.
In other news, Kishimoto made an appearance in a Spider-Man movie documentary to advertise Brand New Day because it shares the same director as the Naruto movie.
