NARUTO LIVE ACTION: Itachi's Path | RE:Anime

NARUTO LIVE ACTION: Itachi's Path
Honestly this video was never supposed to see the light of day. I was planning a kickstarter campaign so we could do Itachi vs Sasuke and I Was going to use this video as a "look at what it could be" kind of situation. I wanted to make this another 50 minute pilot/film of Itachi's story just like the Climbing Silver film we did - but as it was tough to raise $15K for that film... asking for $100K for an Itachi film just seemed out of the question. I am releasing this because of the amazing performances by the actors. I am so fortunate to have had Kento play Itachi and Nobuaki play his father and Chikako as his mother. I hope one day I am able to create a 8 season live-action version of the entire Naruto story and I would instantly cast these two. Nobuaki was also Shikamaru's father in Climbing Silver... so maybe Shikamaru is an Uchiha? who knows. I really hope you guys enjoy this film - please go follow the actors and show your support to them.

About RE:Anime:
Created by Anime super fan, producer, and director, Nik Shaw, RE:Anime™ was born of an infectious passion for the culture and characters of Anime as well as out of frustration with the way major studios have misrepresented essential Anime values and characters in live-action productions. Nik believes staying true to the authenticity and the core roots is the best path to success.
The mission is clear - to adapt fan-favorite Anime programs into high-quality live-action films while representing the culture and characters that are true to each story and each Anime’s intended values.
The goal - Work with Hollywood Execs, Studios, and Streamers to adapt anime into live-action.

Instead of this scene, you should've done the scene from the Itachi shinden novel, where Itachi kills his girlfriend Izumi with genjutsu, making her experience their entire lives together inside his tsukuyomi, which the Anime changed to just Tobi killing Izumi in the fillers, which was stupid.

I’m still confused on how you haven’t been licensed to produce a naruto live action This stuff here is higher quality than other live actions with budges in the millions Keep up the good work👍

[@ncard00]

Cause of hollywood’s ego.

[@Dimirasmo]

Lions Gate already has the project but still no response

[@savagereign]

done and done. I'm buying the original release, the extended cut, the collectors edition, holding a watch party, maybe even renting a fucking theater.

[@savagereign]

Oh and because...the moment a fantastic sourced adaption gets released all of Hollywood will be gutted for their behavior.

[@SettaXY]

cause everyone ask for too much so shit dont get done. 1000 of ppl asking for millions for a thousand dollar job because the popularity and or big label trying to produce the movie this is why they have to do different routes instead of original cause they cant. or you spendinf 100 million plus to make a movie wich means you need the biggest movie lables on it. mid and lower will not be able to keep up with such a budget. majority goes to rights

Great job all around.

[@justsomeguyonyoutube6508]

Great work This turned out absolutely outstanding. My only problem is the guy who plays itachi's dad wasn't still enough after he was cut down. It broke the illusion of him being dead when you can literally see him breathing if your attention was drawn towards the Uchiha Crest on his back. Everything else was simply marvellous. it would've been great if this was a short film than an extremely short film as the emotions reached the peak in an instant. Not enough time for a build up. If possible I'd like you guys to do the Uchiha Night of Massacre short film including Shisui, Danzo and Obito. Also a character for Izumi if possible, it would be a perfect place for this scene to exist. Thanks (personal opinion: additionally in the end you could use a vignette effect that draws in from the corners till his face to bring aditional focus onto Itachi and his eyes)

[@bloodysweetzombiegirl]

This… Wow. You guys ALWAYS out do yourselves. The care you take in getting these scenes right is extraordinary and even if you do add a little extra, it goes along With the story and doesn’t take away from it. I can honestly say that if THIS isn’t the live action Naruto I will be getting…I DO NOT WANT IT. A FAN needs to make Naruto. Not one of these new “fans” who want to change the entire story to what they thought it should have been. A fan who knows WHY Itachi wasn’t a villain, but a much loved character. A fan who cares about the source material and wants to keep it in its perfection. Long way of sayin’ I really appreciate these videos and I do hope that Your dream gets realized. ❤
