It has been two years since Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows came out and while movie ended up grossing $245 million against a $135 million budget, there were still no moves towards a sequel. Until now. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Paramount has hired screenwriter Andrew Dodge (Strong Words) to craft the next installment in the TMNT movie universe. The new chairman of the movie studio, Jim Gianopulos, is looking to bring some quality to the brand, which has always gotten a mixed response when it comes to critical reception. There is no news yet if this upcoming movie will be a reboot or a relaunch of the series (I hope Megan Fox can stay on as April O’Neil), but there are some doubts if the Turtles are the kind of franchise people will come out for, especially since the last handful of Turtles movies were a mix of bad and creepy looking.

Since the production team is remaining the same, we could see the new feature end up as a sequel, but many believe that the studio is looking to bring in a fresh take on the ionic characters who have gone through many changes over the last 34 years. The arrival of Paramount chairman Jim Gianopulos is said to … [Read more...] about New Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Movie Is Happening
