It’s been almost a decade because the final live-action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film, however THR studies {that a} new undertaking is lastly within the works. Sadly, one other live-action undertaking primarily based on The Final Ronin could have been shelved to accommodate this new film.
The outlet studies that Quick & Livid franchise producer Neal H. Moritz is in negotiations to reboot the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise for Paramount Photos. A number of sources have mentioned that the studio desires to “Sonic-fy” the franchise. Because the three movies within the Sonic the Hedgehog sequence have grossed over $1.2 billion worldwide, that is smart. Moritz is the producer behind the Sonic motion pictures. “If you want Sonic, you go to the guy who did Sonic,” mentioned one insider.
Nonetheless, as I discussed above, this isn’t excellent news for the different live-action Ninja Turtles undertaking that has been within the works for a number of years. The studio was creating an R-rated adaptation of The Final Ronin, the comedian mini-series written by TMNT co-creator Kevin Eastman and Tom Waltz. No person filmmaker Ilya Naishuller was in talks to direct, however the undertaking has been placed on the again burner as “the new regime wasn’t keen on having the first non-animated movie in 10 years be a bloody, adult-skewing story.” Nonetheless, it may very well be revisited in future, however for now, the way forward for the Ninja Turtles is trying extra family-friendly.
The final live-action movie within the franchise was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows, launched in 2016. The sequel earned blended critiques however was a field workplace bomb, grossing simply $246 million worldwide. Plans for a 3rd movie have been cancelled, and we didn’t see the turtles in theaters once more till the discharge of the animated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem in 2023. A sequel to Mutant Mayhem is within the works for a September 17, 2027 launch.
The unique Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie remains to be a number of enjoyable. Give me dudes in rubber fits over CG turtles any day. The movie truly had a theatrical re-release a number of months in the past, and it was so profitable that the sequel, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze, can even obtain a re-release in March 2026 to rejoice its thirty fifth anniversary.
