Time to cast those kids in the Netflix Airbender and Shang-Chi music video.

Here we go... can't say this will be any harder than doing One Piece since its ninjas and martial arts

Hollywood eyeing the success of One Piece, thinking they can make their adaptation a success too.

Why a movie though? Wouldn't a series adaptation be a much better fit for the material?

The only thing of note she's done is write for "The Witcher: Blood Origin", which was heavily panned by both Audiences and Critics.
This could be exciting, we could get another Dragonball Evolution . Very Happy

Hollywood and Lionsgate in particular have been trying to make this movie for around eight years now. Is Michael Gracey still attached to direct? Because he threw out a prior script for allegedly being terrible, and in 2018 flat out said "I'm not doing this unless Kishimoto signs off on the script." So if her work is another Witcher: Blood Origin and an upcoming Tomb Raider series people are not excited about, Gracey might just throw it out.

One Piece's success has me convinced a lot of the IPs that have been gathering dust will see themselves being fast-tracked, especially now that the Western comic-to-film pipeline has gone dry and the strikes are over.

I mean, I rolled my eyes at One Piece and I liked it....
The secret spice seems to be including the creators though.

The "Naruto" and "One Piece" franchises are indeed competing to see which one will ultimately gain the "it'll never end" badge.

The fact that it's taking so long doesn't sound promising.

I know they somehow managed to pull off One Piece in live-action, but I feel like Naruto would be a harder sell, especially for how much more Japanese influenced it is.

And I'm not quite convinced by the writers prior credits.
