This subject came up, and it just would not go away so I decided to do a quick post on who I think should play the characters for a live action Naruto movie. First off, I decided to make a movie that does NOT use kid actors… so don’t tell me in the comments section I should have picked 12 and 13 year old kids to play these parts…Besides, it should start in the Shippuden era anyway.So think 17-22 years old for Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke and go on from there.I would also like both American and Japan/Asian cast. With that I will begin my list.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Naruto Uzumaki-Austin Butler
Why: He shows a lot of acting potential, and I think that he could play a good Naruto, he looks like him too.
Sasuke Uchiha-Tori Matsuzaka
Why: He looks like he could play Sasuke without being to angsty about it.
Sakura Haruno-Emma Roberts
Why: A talented actress who could make a strong character role.
Kakashi-Ryan Reynolds
Why: He can act calm and goofy very well. He is the right age. And very good looking!
