EXCLUSIVE: Deadline has learned that Nickelodeon is rebooting Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for the big screen with Point Grey Pictures’ Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg and James Weaver producing, and Jeff Rowe (Gravity Falls, Connected) directing. Brendan O’Brian (Neighbors: Sorority Rising, Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates) will write the screenplay. Paramount will be handling global distribution on the film.

This time around, the feature adaptation of the Kevin Eastman-Peter Laird-created comic book, will be CG animated. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles feature franchise has accumulated $1.15 billion across six movies from three studios since 1990. The last two movies, released by Paramount and Michael Bay’s Platinum Dunes in 2014 and 2016, were live-action and together accounted for $730.6M. The last time there was a feature CG version of Turtles was Warner Bros.’ 2007 TMNT ($96M WW).

The new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie reps Nickelodeon Animation Studio’s first-ever CG theatrical production, in partnership with Ramsey Naito, EVP, Animation Production and Development, who is overseeing production for Nickelodeon. Josh Fagen is overseeing for Point Grey Pictures.

Said Brian Robbins, President, Kids & Family for ViacomCBS: “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. 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.”

Following Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles launch in 1984 as a comic book, it was followed up by a hit 1987-1996 animated TV series, as well as a billion-dollar selling retail juggernaut across toys, apparel, video games, and more. New Line released three live-action movies between 1990-1993 which grossed $323.2M WW.

Nickelodeon brought the franchise to life again in 2012 with the CG-animated series Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and then reimagined the Heroes in a Half-Shell with the 2D-animated series Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles last year. As previously announced, as part of a separate deal, Nickelodeon and Netflix are partnering to produce an original animated 2D film based on the current Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series.

I wish the G and I in the Cgi part of the title were in caps. That's really going to annoy me every time i see this thread.

Loved 2007's TMNT. Hope for something similar.

[Foggy]

Hold up...Baby Shark is getting a TV show now?

As Long as that means no more terrible Micheal Bay Platnium Dunes TMNT Movies I will love it

You should give it a shot. It has great CGI animation and you can tell that the director is a huge turtles fan. UNLIKE the Bay-produced movies, where they feel too artificial. No actual genuine love behind them at all.

[Chaotic]

I’d rather have TMNT 3. I’ll stick to the 2007 CGI movie

[Deezer1986]

Awesome!

[CyberpunkCentral]

TMNT (2007) FTW!

[Chedwiggen]

Ended up getting the blu-ray of TMNT a few weeks ago from the Dollar Tree, have to give the movie a rewatch soon.

[hoejunter]

Loved the 2007 film, hope this is just as good. I even enjoyed the Michael Bay films tbh.

[Dragon78]

Loved the 2007 film(and the 2012 animated series) would love more animated Turtles movies.

The 2007 TMNT movie is my favorite turtles movie by miles. The fight between Leo and Raph is pure emotion.

Raphael:
You are so smug, you know that? You think that the world revolves around you, don't you? That we couldn't possibly survive without the mighty and powerful Leonardo to guide us through our problems, huh?! Well, I've got a news flash for you: We got along just fine without you!

Leonardo:
Oh, and this qualifies as "just fine"? Dressing up like it's Halloween every night, risking the safety of our family? I mean, come on, what were you thinking?!

Raphael:
Don't push it, Leo. You can't leave home and come back expecting us to fall in line again like your little soldiers.

Leonardo:
Hey, I was training. Training to be a better leader. For you! Why do you hate me for that?!

Raphael:
And whoever said I wanted to be led?! I'm better off calling my own shots, now get used to it.

Leonardo:
You aren't ready! You're impatient, and hot tempered, and more importantly... I'm better than you.

Raphael:
[Raphael laughs coldly] Oh, you know something, big brother? I have to disagree with you on that one.

[Raphael makes a "bring it on" motion with his sai.]

Leonardo:
Don't do this, Raph.

Raphael:
I'm done taking orders.

[Mikezilla3k]

Yeah, TMNT was great. Only real problem with it was that the Foot Clan felt wasted.

Hope this will be good. (although it will probably be better than the Platinum Dunes films regardless)

[Deezer1986]

I think if they strike the same tone as the 2007 movie, it can still be funny and come off really well.

[Worship.my.wreck]

Not really interested unless we get a live action similar to the original 2

[Batman1980]

I enjoyed the animated film as much as the first 2 live action films. I thought it added more to the story than III did.

I am also one of those people who enjoyed Bay Turtles though.

[SlimerJoel]

Worried about Seth Rogen's company being involved but like Deezer said, if it's close to the 2007 movie in tone we should be good.

[Ricky G]

I watched the 2007 film on a plane, maybe that factors into why I didn't like it.
