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.
