@TU3 Thanks for not being snappish.

@Eric Can't a guy love a franchise? If a guy wants to make a film on One Piece, let him do it. If a guy wants to do a film on Mass Effect, let him do it. And like it or not, if a guy wants to do a film on Twilight, let him do it. It all depends on what the makers of the film have for a franchise. And while I do love both Star Wars and Harry Potter, I'd prefer to do novels for the former and leave the latter untouched (both film series are good as they are). I can also say without a sliver of a doubt that Naruto media will keep going on - for a while. Just look at Dragon Ball. The manga ended almost 20 years ago, and yet we are still getting chockloads of films, games, and the like. Naruto is definitely in the same boat, especially since they are respectively the 2nd and 3rd biggest manga franchises of all time. For being a good idea, that'll come when the movie reaches its final form; it's too early to tell before then, honestly. Not sure what Kishi will say. The film, from my view, will be very close to the manga canon, although it won't trace down elements of other media. As for romance, since you asked, I'm going to try and focus more on that. There will be hints of it in the first and second films, while it will be a primary theme of the third film. I'll go into more detail on that in the third thread.

Also you guys, I'm going to be going out of town and won't be back until Monday, so don't expect much activity from me until then.

Here's my last thing before I go. I forgot to mention this, but I'm going to put the point when Sasuke gets the Cursed Seal to after he defects and the Sound Four arrive on the battlefield, not in the Forest of Death. This is because every time I think of the seal, I think that IT caused Sasuke to defect, not the Curse of Hatred. When I get back, I'll reveal what I will do for overall scriptwriting and the use of Japanese nomenclature. Until then!
