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. To which I say, heck yeah people will come out to see Turtles! The Ninja Turtles, for those who grew up with … [Read more...] about Paramount Just Hired a Screenwriter for an Upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Movie

New Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Movie Is Happening
The heroes in a half shell are coming back to the big screen, according to a new report. Paramount is developing a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie and has hired Andrew Dodge to pen the script. It is unclear if this will be a sequel to 2016's Out of the Shadows or a complete reboot for the franchise. The last film received mostly negative reviews and grossed far less than 2014's self-titled outing. Paramount isn't about to give up on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but what the next movie will be is a mystery at this point in time. Michael Bay, Andrew Form, and Brad Fuller will return to produce the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie under their Platinum Dunes banner. 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
Bad Words Writer Tapped for New Ninja Turtles Movie
Bad Words writer tapped for new Ninja Turtles movie It’s been almost two years since any word has come out regarding the future of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise, but Paramount Pictures seems poised to see the titular heroes return to the big screen once again. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the studio has hired writer Andrew Dodge (Bad Words) for a new Ninja Turtles movie which will be another reboot, ignoring the previous two live-action films. The franchise is set around four humanoid turtles mutated by an experimental ooze named after four Renaissance artists, Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello and Michaelangelo, who protect New York City using ninja skills they have acquired through the teachings of their rat mentor, Splinter, who was also transformed by the ooze as well. After a successful live-action film series in the ’90s and a popular revitalized TV series in 2012, Paramount used the rights purchased by Nickelodeon to reboot the film … [Read more...] about Bad Words Writer Tapped for New Ninja Turtles Movie
