Sony Joins Hollywood's Live-Action Naruto
1A live-action Hollywood film based on the manga Naruto has been officially approved, and filming is planned to begin in spring 2027. The Hollywood Reporter in the U.S. reported the news, and Japanese film news sites covered it on November 4.
2Naruto, created by Masashi Kishimoto, ran in Weekly Shonen Jump from 1999 to 2014. It follows a young ninja who is seen as a failure but dreams of becoming Hokage, the leader of his village. The series has sold more than 250 million copies in over 60 countries and regions.
3The U.S. studio Lionsgate, which has been developing the film since 2024, will lead its production and release it in North America. Sony Pictures joined after several studios competed for the deal. Sony will help pay for the film and handle its release outside North America. Sony's group also owns Crunchyroll, an anime streaming service.
4Destin Daniel Cretton will write and direct the movie. He directed Spider-Man: Brand New Day, a Sony film released this summer. In September, he signed a three-year deal with Sony. Cretton has said he is a longtime fan of Naruto. In a statement, he said the story has heart and humor beneath its powerful action.
5The main role has not been cast yet. A worldwide search for the actors who will play Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura began in July. The Hollywood Reporter said Charles Melton is in talks to play Kakashi, but this has not been officially announced.

全文訳
1マンガ『NARUTO』をもとにした、人が演じるハリウッド映画の製作が正式に決まり、撮影は2027年春に始まる予定です。アメリカのハリウッド・リポーターが伝え、11月4日には日本の映画ニュースサイトも報じました。
2岸本斉史さんの『NARUTO』は、1999年から2014年まで「週刊少年ジャンプ」で連載されました。落ちこぼれと思われている若い忍者が、村のリーダー「火影」になることを夢見る物語です。シリーズは60以上の国と地域で、2億5000万部をこえて売れています。
32024年からこの映画を準備してきたアメリカの映画会社ライオンズゲートが、製作を主導し、北アメリカで公開します。ソニー・ピクチャーズは、いくつもの映画会社がこの契約を争ったあとに加わりました。ソニーは費用の一部を出し、北アメリカ以外での公開を受け持ちます。ソニーのグループは、アニメ配信サービスのクランチロールも持っています。
4デスティン・ダニエル・クレットンさんが脚本と監督を担当します。クレットンさんは、この夏に公開されたソニーの映画『スパイダーマン:ブランド・ニュー・デイ』の監督です。9月には、ソニーと3年間の契約を結びました。クレットンさんは、自分は長年の『NARUTO』ファンだと明かしています。声明では、迫力あるアクションの奥に、温かさとユーモアがあると述べました。
5主役はまだ決まっていません。ナルト、サスケ、サクラを演じる俳優を世界じゅうでさがす選考は、7月に始まりました。ハリウッド・リポーターは、チャールズ・メルトンさんがカカシ役で交渉中だと伝えましたが、これは正式には発表されていません。
文法ポイント:現在完了進行形(have been +~ing)
「(前から今まで)ずっと~している」を表す。本文の Lionsgate, which has been developing the film since 2024 は「2024年からずっとこの映画を準備してきた(今も続けている)ライオンズゲート」。since(~から)といっしょによく使う。
