The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are returning to the big screen for a CG reboot from Paramount Pictures, Nickelodeon and Seth Rogen's production company.

According to Deadline, a new animated movie is in the works with Rogen and his Point Grey Pictures partners Evan Goldberg and James Weaver on board. Gravity Falls director Jeff Rowe will helm the project from a script by Brendan O’Brian (Neighbors: Sorority Rising, Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates).

“Adding Seth, Evan and James’ genius to the humor and action that’s already an integral part of TMNT is going to make this a next-level reinvention of the property," said Brian Robbins, President, Kids & Family for ViacomCBS. "I’m looking forward to see what they do, and I know that Ramsey Naito and her team are excited to take the Nick Animation Studio into another great direction with their first-ever CG-animated theatrical.”

Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo and Donatello have starred in several features at this stage, with the most recent being the moderately successful (from a financial standpoint, at least) movies from Paramount and Michael Bay’s Platinum Dunes. They previously appeared in animated form in Warner Bros.' 2007 adventure, TMNT. Fans still regard the original 1990 film to be the best of the bunch, however.

As part of a separate deal, Nickelodeon and Netflix are teaming up for an original animated 2D film based on the current Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series.

What do you guys make of this news? Looking forward to seeing the Heroes in a Half-Shell in theaters again?

That’s awesome. They do good work. Sounds like a fun way to take the franchise.

@TheUnworthyThor - I think they did it back in 2007 called TMNT and it underperformed.

TBH I want a live action reboot thats closer to the 1st 1990 film. Sadly this just shows they dont know what to do with this franchise except to try and sell it to very young kids.

@mastakilla39 - Its pretty sad. History has shown that the more dark and adult oriented the series is, the better it will do. (With the exception of the OG animated series. But before that no one even knew about TMNT)

When you look at everything since the OG cartoon, everhthing thats been geared more towards kids has been awful.

The original live action movie is fantastic. But its also a perfect blend of the original comicbook and cartoon. Its dark, moody, semi-violent, while also being funny and light hearted enough for kids. It pretty much adapted the very first comicbook story.

The 2 sequels were toned down a LOT and were both pretty awful.

The animated series on Nickelodeon a fee years ago also managed to be serious enough for adults and goofy enough for kids. Everything else has been pretty bad though.

@mastakilla39 - What about from the producers of Preacher and The Boys and from the writer of Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates makes you think this will only be geared towards very young children?

@CorndogBurglar - The better they will do? The animated series’s for Nickelodeon (even if I didn’t watch them) have been very successful. That’s why they keep making more.

@TheUnworthyThor - its a cgi film and no 1 makes cgi films unless its for kids. it is going to be nothing like the original comics or 1990s live action film. the action is going to be toned down, hyper edited, and flashy like Teen Titans Go and Lego Batman because kids have low attention spans.

And thats just not for me or the majority of people who grew up watching the 1st 90s live film. The only reason they keep making these animated movies/series is because the merch sells. There is no quality control in anything and that's why TMNT has sucked for a very long time.

@mastakilla39 - Or it could be an award winning film like Into the Spider-verse and have great action.

Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean it has sucked. It continues to sell merchandise because kids love to the new shows, and they are of no worse quality than the original animated series.

@TheUnworthyThor - Do they? The last cgi series was fantastic. But this newer Ris of the TMNT series is so pathetically bad its almost insulting.
mastakilla39
mastakilla39 - 6/30/2020, 7:36 PM
@TheUnworthyThor - Yeah but even into the spider-verse is made for KIDS! Into the spiderverse was a great KIDS animated film.

There's a reason why a studio ghibli anime film about USA bombing Japan does not win an award or have a huge box office compared to Finding Dory.

@mastakilla39 - that’s always been the franchise bud. They were all just red turtles the tone was more serious in the comics. I saw the last TMNT in the theatre, I’ll see this one too. Can’t be worse than the last two.

@CorndogBurglar - ESPECIALLY RISE! That animation is absolutely dreadful!

Just because your product / franchise is geared & aimed toward kids, doesn't mean it should be awful or lazy looking drawing & animation wise.

The 80's Toon, 2003 Toon & the 2012 CG Toon were all good, so if they could just stick along those lines going forward whenever they 're-invent' the toon / franchise.

The 2007 CG Toon looked good, but the story was a bit meh / weak.

@TheUnworthyThor - Rise would disagree with you for being worse quality.

The 80's, 2003 & 2012 series are all superior.

@THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - oh no. They get around it. Why do you think they keep getting pizza specifically? They order the bob marley extra crispy.

Hoping to see a true stoner Michaelangelo in that case!

The Ninja Turtles were always my guilty pleasure. Hopefully this is actually good, unlike those last couple monstrosities.

It should resemble the Injustice 2 TMNT looks.

@KWilly - as turtle fan I like last two movies they had krang bebop rocksteady techno drome Baxter stockman and yes turtles do have nostrils to breath not all turtles have big beaks which is shown in injustice two.

I did like how they look turtles vs Batman movie

Feel like this is a surprisingly inspired creative team to tackle the franchise. Since it’s still a Nickelodeon production I wonder what the tone and rating will be, but I’m looking forward to hearing and seeing more

JohnMarston220 - 6/30/2020, 11:19 AM
@Armageddon26 - my exact thoughts. I wouldn't be surprised if theirs already a role waiting for both Adam Devine and Zac Efron seeing as its directed by the same guy behind Mike and Dave need a date or whatever
dracula
dracula - 6/30/2020, 11:42 AM
@Armageddon26 - For tone they should go with 2003 turtles tone. For character go with 2012, in that show they acted like teenagers

So was that CBS All Access news bogus?

Am I alone in thinking the first TMNT movie from Platinum Dunes was actually decent? The character designs were awful, but I thought they nailed the personalities etc. Sequel was a mess.
