Universal Studios has revealed the live-action cast for their adaptation of fish-cake ninja anime Naruto, pictured above.
The actors have been selected for a stage-play to feature at the Universal Studios Japan theme park.
The play will begin in late summer and run until the end of August and will feature animated video sequences as well.
Via Akibanana.
Of course, this does not necessarily mean that Universal has any plans for a live-action movie adaptation, though we can but wonder; Hollywood and others certainly do have their eyes set on other adaptations…

But... Naruto Premir Show isn't new in Universal Japan.
Last year they do exactly the same for the summer. Maybe, the only thing new this year is the cast.
that's sakura after dispatching katsuyu in stead of tsunade. that's why she looks so old.
here's her original form :http://gelbooru.com/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=181013
i got too see the first ep at least, might even be worth watching ep 2
Tell me this is ~ *just* ~ not real.... please!?
Hasn't Hollywierd done enough damage?
naruto looks crazy and deranged but then again isnt he already crazy and deranged XD
also naruto and sakura's wigs are fail!!!
naruto's looks like a sponge
sakura's looks like mine after dragging it through a container of hairspray and styling it ... can anyone say cheap wigs?
and naruto still looks crazy and deranged like a rabid dog ...
Why cant they allocate more money towards the budget of these adaptions as well have at least the orginal artist watch over the whole production to keep the authenticity of the film. They take some of these adaptions and give them to production teams that havent even a clue about the anime or manga, nevermnd an interest in it at all. They only think about the turnover never really about the fans as they are the most important thing in this as if they are impressed and enjoy the adaption they spread the word within there societies filtering through even further. Just consider the what the fan will think at all times. I believe if you use people who loved the original work and are put onto the production team they will put in that extra to make that adaption what it was meant to be.
Why can't people read the articles properly?
I see you are already setting up the stage show for failure without really seeing any of it yet.
Really have to agree. How did so many of you plain miss the actual point of the article? It's not a freaking movie, it's not some version of DB-Evolution. It's a damn stage play.
Which isn't uncommon at all. I know there have been Sentai ones for years, and I remember a Inu-Yasha(I hate the property) that actually didn't look so bad.
Seriously people, read the whole article before commenting.
Besides Tsunade(bland, not attractive) and Sakura(Always has been bland), I can't see anything wrong with the actors for the play.
You got to be kidding! Facepalm.jpg
I fell outta my chair laughing when I saw the guy play Naruto, other then that, everyone sorta looks ok :p
Yes, because a yellow haired kid in a jumpsuit is an ideal transition to make to live action...
woha, that's some ugly shit. why can't 2d just stay 2d?
Nice Live-Action show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfOACVCOJsM ^)))
....I don't want another fail !!!!
only one steps for a live action movie......
Those ppl looks old >.<
what's with live action anyway? don't they learn from their mistakes? i'm looking at you, Dragonball!
FAIL.
Are those guys behind those cosplays of Tsunade and Sakura?
hopefully not. they can't undergo the same humiliation as they already did with Dragonball.
Is this going to be like Harry Potter?
To be fair Shikamaru and Sasuke are pretty well portrayed. The rest suck though.
well @ least they didnt make naruto white lawl
ok from my point of view they did a great job casting
NO! NOOO! WHY!!!! ... this is terribad.. the only one who looks decent is Sai...
sharkan shooter.
Can you say
WTB Photoshop?
Can't they select better actors for the anime counterpart?
what is this mindfuckery?!
No offense to any other race, but if they make a live action movie, the least they can do is make the entire cast japanese. i mean come on, if your gonna play someone from an anime, you might as well be asian. *couch* *DBZ evolution* *Couch*
surprisingly they dont look that bad (dragonball anyone?)
Kakashi is perfect XD
i couldn't i didn't even notice that one wasn't animated until i looked for it.
LOOOOL !!!!
Gaara looks like a girl... Not cool. And Sai looks like he collects stamps.
Sasuke is quite acceptable hot though!
And yeah, Tsunade is TINY!
All I have to say is :if they ever make a Naruto live-action MOVIE,they better let the fans help decide on the cast...otherwise they might have to pay with their lives.Funny this is...I'm not even joking about that.
oh no.. why sakura chan looks old ???
and gaara seems like girl!!!!
Oh Cody Porter, if only you lived long to see this...
S& Ninja....
i think this will be a supermassive FAIL!!!!
jesus christ cant they just leave anime alone i dont even wana see who they got to play the j-man
Sing with me, "live action kill the anime star~~~"
HAHAHAHA...
Stupid Binzarre...
Manusia purba!
OMG
if the anime sucks, obviously the live action movie is yet sucker
1/0
...
...
...
Gaara for the live action...kinda looks...gay.
And Sasuke looks wrong, I agree that the Sakura looks like a guy. They make Naruto look more like an idiot...the Shikamaru needs work...the Sai is...okay. I thank the mask for the one playing Kakashi...other than that...it seems so wrong.
finnaallly.... a anime made into a real situation movie, well barely really ......LOL
hmm.... interesting, looks like another good laugh
Half right, get younger actors for Tsunade and Sakura, use cgi for Tsunade's chest, its all win.
Might even be as lulzy as cyber ninja!
After pissing off Dragonball fans, they now attempt to do the same towards Narutards. What they don't know is that the amount of Narutards in this world is a lot moar than what they thinks.
Fuck....
This is Hilarious. Sakura looks like grand ma, Naruto looks like monkey, Tsunade is old and Flat chested And Garra looks so funny(I don't know how to describe it). This whole show is gonna be the comedy show of this Century.
Naruto anime is already funny and boring enough now with all the lazy works(fly, fly, fly), (talk,talk,talk in middle of hokage level fight) and crack weird jokes in the most serious situations hahaha.... UUUUhahahahahahahhh..........
