After a ton of requests that have gone on for an age, the folks at Gritty Reboots relented over the weekend for the YouTube Geek Week that’s upon us by producing a Naruto live action trailer. The folks at Gritty Reboots have made some very amusing trailers for a bit now (Calvin & Hobbes is our favorite) and the Naruto trailer definitely hits all the right notes.
And really does ask the question, why don’t we have a live action Naruto movie yet? Surely there’s a way to do it, and having seen a variety of live action Asian films over the last ten years, they could do some really fun effects work for it. Check out the full trailer below and a special before and after trailer that shows how the effects were done.
