A Naruto movie is now in development. The iconic Japanese property originally began in 1999 as a manga series by Masashi Kishimoto, following the adventures of a young ninja who strives to become a village leader. The manga was adapted into the anime show of the same name, which ran for 220 episodes between 2002 and 2007. Since then, the franchise has expanded to include multiple television shows, movies, video games, and novels.
