Paramount Developing Third ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ Movie


Paramount has launched development of a third “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” movie — two years after “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows” was a serious disappointment.

The studio has hired Andrew Dodge, whose credits include “Bad Words,” to write the script. Producers are Michael Bay, Andrew Form, and Brad Fuller through their Platinum Dunes production company.

The studio is aiming to reboot the franchise through the third “Ninja Turtles” project.

Paramount’s two movies are based on the comic by Kevin Eastman and Kevin Laird about wisecracking pizza-loving turtle superheroes named after the Renaissance artists Michelangelo, Raphael, Leonardo and Donatello, using ninja skills acquired from a radioactive New York City rat. The first movie, simply called “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,” was released in 2014 and grossed $493 million worldwide while “Out of the Shadows” took in about half that.

Well, let's hope it's good.

Edit:

Producers are Michael Bay

Welp, that's that, then.

[DukeTogo84]

So is it a sequel or a complete reboot?

[Quan2um]

Reboot.

[Chaotic]

Probably sequel/reboot like Out of the Shadows.

[Gacivory]

Out of The Shadows was 2 years ago? It felt much longer to me!

[Chaotic]

Going on 3. Came out June 2016.

Shame that Stephen Amell gave a fairly dull performance in the last one, he’s really great on the Arrow series. Really wanted him to get some cool roles in film.

All I need to know. **** everything having to do with this movie

No More Bayturtles

The First Two Bayturtles movies were a shitstain on the Turtle Franchise. They ruined my favorite character Casey Jones and turned him into a whiny cop.

[Joeker]

I thought i would hate the first one but ended up enjoying it quite a bit, same for the sequel. So here is to hoping this turns out to be entertaining.

On another note, I would like to see Leatherhead and/or Rat King be the main baddies.

I like Turtles.

The original film's costumed turtles are closer to the comic book characters from Kevin Eastman than the CGI live action turtles, but as far as story goes, the newer version wins IMO for better pacing, more focus on the plot, and so on. The original, they get side tracked at the house and there are a lot of antics that don't propel the story forward.

While the look of the CGI turtles took me a few days to accept and get used to since it was dramatically different than the cartoon versions, the CGI live action turtles thankfully captured the attitude and personalities of the Turtles in many ways, and the action was excellent with the fight choreography in both films. The fighting in the original Turtles live action films was great too, especially since it wasn't CGI or motion capture, but the real actors fighting in those turtle costume suits.

As a note, Bay was only producer of the newer Turtles films, and didn't write or direct. I'm not a fan of his version of the Transformers live action films (but a big fan of the original animated Transformers series) but these Turtles films I really enjoyed regardless.

I enjoy the original films, but was very entertained by the newest Turtles films, and hope this new reboot gets closer to the look of the original comic book characters, but keeps the great style of action.

The whole point of the turtles at Casey's grandmom's house was part of the plot. The turtles just lost splinter Raphael got the shit beat out of him and is unconscious for a while April lost her grandfather's antique store and they had to regroup. I mean the whole campfire scene with Splinter was amazing. Than after the vision they head back to New York

That's plot a plenty

[levcore]

I can't believe anyone thought Out of the Shadows was better than the first movie. Bebop and Rocksteady were absolutely unbearable and the Krang Shredder stuff was handled horribly.

Yeah. That whole section has a point to it.

While the first one isn't perfect, it kicks the crap out of the bay films cuz their focus is heavy on the plot. And the action supported the plot. Also didn't dumb itself down. I hate films that dumb itself down so that EVERYONE can get it no matter what. Even if your audience is mostly kids and the whatnot. You don't have to talk down to them either.

"Only Producer" is an oxymoron. As the Producer has a lot of power in regard to films. Hell in Out of the Shadows they even showed Michael Bay dictating how many tentacles Krang was to have in the movie. So yeah... his fingerprints are still all over the films. And he needs to keep his hands off or we'll get another mess.

[kylor]

You know you are messing up when Disney does Turtles better.



Duuude!

[CelluloidPal]

If they can just give Megan Fox the boot, this has a shot of being something better than the movies we got. Then again, any real improvements would be welcome here.

[ltb2.0]

Still think they need to make the suits as practical as possible. And they need to seriously re-examine what made the 1990 movie a success.

That 90's movie was a successful blend of the dark comics and goofy 80's cartoon.

Would love to see another take like that.
