What happened to the Itachi Uchiha movie?


As far as I know, a movie based on [Itachi
Uchiha](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Itachi_Uchiha) was about to come in
March.  
Can anyone please tell whether it's coming this year or is it delayed?

Here is a Reddit
[thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/Naruto/comments/3xfwjg/itachi_movie/) of the
poster, and here is a YouTube video of the trailer:

The _Itachi Shinden_ adaptation has already started airing via Naruto
Shippuden episode 451 and onwards.

[Crunchyroll ](http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2016/02/05/video-naruto-
shippuuden-itachi-shinden-hen-hikari-to-yami-anime-previewed) notes that it
began airing on March 3rd. Episode 451 aired on March 3rd and these episodes
exactly follow the novels.

It is set to be aired until May.




This is not a movie. The _Itachi Shinden_ novels are being adapted to a TV
release, which will air this spring. I didn't see information about it
beginning in March.

The Naruto [twitter
account](https://twitter.com/naruto_movie/status/678105786866753536) shared a
link to [TV Tokyo Naruto website](http://www.tv-
tokyo.co.jp/anime/naruto/sp/story/) which has a small trailer and information
about the release, which seems to indicate that it will begin airing in Japan
on April 7th.
