A new TMNT movie is on the way!
The Hollywood Reporter announced there is a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie in the works!
“Paramount is developing a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie and has hired Andrew Dodge, the writer behind the Jason Bateman comedy Bad Words, to pen the script.
Michael Bay, Andrew Form and Brad Fuller will produce the feature via their Platinum Dunes banner. The company was behind the studio’s horror hit A Quiet Place.”
The movies from 2014 and 2016 were a bit of a disappointment to many fans. The first opened to a respectable $65.5 million. The sequel, Out of the Shadows, wasn’t a failure, but isn’t considered a success either. While Bebop and Rocksteady were used well, it suffered from many of the choices of its predecessor.
Andrew Dodge previously wrote Bad Words, which made the Hollywood Blacklist before becoming Jason Bateman’s directing debut. He has also penned the upcoming Space Jam 2.
While still produced by Michael Bay, this isn’t being considered a third movie, but more of a reboot. Details are a bit scarce at the moment, but we’ll keep you posted!
What do you want to see in the next installment? Do you want a reboot or a sequel? Will there be people in giant turtle costumes, or another CGI fest. Will they call me and use any of my ideas? (I’m available and work for scale!) Let us know in the comments!
