Well, guess what guys? Turns out the inn I'm staying in has wireless, so I'll be posting more frequently than I thought!

So for scriptwriting, I'm planning on improving it a little over Kishi's. Beyond the usual anime dragging-on dialogue and minimalization of flashbacks, I also sometimes felt that Kishi could do better. Sometimes he was focusing specifically on one's individual character traits when trying to express a theme, and I feel that that needs to be reordered in order to give the films more international appeal.

For Japanese nomeclature, I'm planning on giving locations their Japanese names, though it won't be something like Konohagakure but rather just Konoha. Ninja terms like Medical-nin and Missing-nin might just have their dub names of medic ninja and rogue ninja in order to make it a bit more accessible. Also, ninja will be defined in the films as people who wield chakra and what not, while shinobi will be specified as ninja who serve in a village military. I'm considering giving the techniques the Jutsu name, like Shadow Clone Jutsu instead of Shadow Clone Technique, since that is simply catchier. And the Tailed Beasts will be called " -Tails", not their Japanese names. Name suffixes obviously won't be in the films, though I might submit a script containing them for the Japanese translation. And people will have last names based on their clans. So Tsunade will be Tsunade Senju, Nagato will be Nagato Uzumaki, Haku will be Haku Yuki, etc.

@Windy Sorry. I only really did that because the posts were spread so far apart timewise.

@Eric I almost forgot to answer this thing of yours, but you said that it would be hard to get a green light. Well, for one thing, it's hard to get a green light on ANY project, unless you're an extremely famous, heavily lucrative, mass-appealing, easily marketable... sequel (LOL). As for a company, there is a recently-founded production company called Viz Productions, a subdivision of Viz Media that specializes in Hollywood films. Since Viz Media owns the license to Naruto and Viz Productions' first film (this summer's Edge of Tomorrow) was very well received both financially and critically, there's no need to worry. Plus - Kishi himself has some ties to the company! As for further production, there is the company duo of Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow, who made Edge of Tomorrow as well as such animated hits as Happy Feet and The Lego Movie. If not them, I guess Disney could work since they have some rights to the anime, and Lucasfilm Animation has gone down more mature territory before.
