has this really been confirmed? did i miss an interview or something?
Nothing published. Dovahkiin needs to point out his source again, I wondering if he's posting a rumor he heard on another Naruto forum as fact again. But as others have said, it's clear the manga is in the homestretch, Kishimoto did say at Jump Festa last December that the end of the manga isn't that far away. Which made me wonder if Kishimoto was going to wrap up the manga before Jump Festa 2012.
edit: I didn't notice Sasuke's bowl at first. I saw that he didn't have chopsticks (see them now on the bowl), but didn't realize he was playing with her hair. He's totally flirting with her, but she looks uncomfortable. Flattered, but uncomfortable. 10 bucks say she's calls him annoying by the end of the movie!

That would be fantastic!

Yeah, she doesn't just look uncomfortable but very tense- look at her eyebrows- even a nervous tension line there, her shoulders are also tensed up, and her eyes look kind of freaked out. The flirting is making her blush a bit but overall she's tense and freaking out about it.
Is Kakashi ordering the bill? Uh-oh, Naruto's going to lose it. "Check, please!!"
Heh.
It could have love it in, but I have a feeling crazy personality changed characters like Sasuke will only have cameo's.
Yeah, me too. Just enough to freak out Naruto and Sakura and the viewers. The fact that only Naruto, Sakura and Minato are the main characters (with Kushina likely being the top support character, and note how Kushina's the only character beside the main three that has had direct references to in interviews or on the official website. This is Sasuke's first appearance where we got anything of how his character is different and it only gives a bit more of a clue than Hinata's difference. Sasuke may have a bit more than say Hinata as he is a member of the old team 7, thus a manga main character, but I think the interactions with Naruto and Sakura will be few and fleeting- I imagine we'll see Naruto and Sakura outright trying to avoid him once they realize he's a puppet of Tobi's meant to distract them from breaking the genjutsu.
Interesting detaill- I see Sasuke's clothes will be a bit different in the movie, it's similar to his first part 2 outfit but purple instead of white.

it does make him look like a playboy.
Wonder if we'll see Sai. It would be funny to see Sai with a different personality.
