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:

What happened to the Itachi Uchiha movie?


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.

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.
