Now all these jokes might turn out like "the boy who cried wolf"... so be afraid, be very afraid!
You never know though, considering its Viz, this may become a reality soon enough. People won't be laughing then. Well....some will be I guess.
I'm still reeling over Hollywood's relentless plundering of western 1980's cartoons. G.I.Joe? Really? What's Next? Thundercats? The Smurfs? Silverhawks?
Hell, why not make a live-action "Steven Spielberg presents: Denver the Last Dinosaur"?
Cartoons, be they traditional or Anime, gain their merit from their animation and flashy visuals.... replacing them with actors and bad CGI is taking away their only redeeming qualities.
but this isn't even the worst of it go here

Hollywood is ruining live action as we know it
WHAT...........THE..............FUCK?????!!!!!!
WHAT THE FUCK IS HOLLYWOOD THINKING?!
Okay, so Shia is a chick-magnet, so he is a good actor, so "Transformers" made him...DON'T MAKE HIM, A 20-SOMETHING YEAR OLD MAN, A FUCKING 12-YEAR OLD KID!!!!!!!!!! THAT'S THE SAME AS CASTING TONY CURTIS AS A FRESHMAN IN HIGH SCHOOL!!!! IT DOESN'T WORK!!!!!!!!!!
Furthermore, has Tinseltown learned NOTHING from the epic failure of Dragonball: (De)Evolution??! Those who learn nothing from the past is doomed to repeat it...hence the yet another casting of yet another WHITE MAN in an ASIAN KID role...and none of the other characters looked even REMOTELY like their original counterparts.
And speaking of Dragoball: DeEvolution: "Wow, Shia LaBeouf? I don't know what Naruto is, but that guy is hot!" This is up there with "Wow, Justin Chatwin? I don't know shit about Dragonball, but that guy is hot!"
The whole idea of attracting hot actor fangirls (as opposed to people who possess the intellect to actually judge the film for its entirety enough to enjoy it instead of who's in it and fuck everything else) alone is exactly what went through the heads of the FOX movie execs when they decided to use their "creative" (and I do use that term loosely) license to churn out Dragonball...and now it seems that Naruto is next on the list of things to butcher, debase, rape and pretty much dumb down in every way possible.
And to the fangirls, FUCK YOU!!!! If you don't know what a movie is about, you shouldn't go see it...just get a picture of your chosen guy idol, close the door and go about thinking about him in privacy...that's all you really want to do anyway, so why waste 10 bucks.
In short, this just reaffirms my conclusions that Hollywood will and does do everything possible to option a successful product, buy all rights to it, and then butcher it to make a movie that THEY think AMERICANS will want to go and see, or more specifically a CERTAIN group of Americans.
So, please, HOLLYWOOD, start considering what I would like to see? Cos if I see Naruto and Shia Lebouf on the same poster, trailer or blog, and if I ever hear about the two in the same context other than not being cast, I will drive to Cali, find the person in charge and beat him up with my shadow clones, then light the set on fire.
