Seth Rogen Producing New ‘Ninja Turtles’ Movie

As a smart mutated turtle as soon as mentioned: Cowabunga.

As introduced by way of a tweet, Seth Rogen is formally producing a brand new model of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the impossibly long-running comedian and animated sequence about 4 turtles remodeled from the norm by the nuclear goop. This model will reportedly be a pc animated movie for theaters, and it’s anticipated to reach on August 11, 2023.

Not less than that’s what Rogen’s tweets declare, which additionally included a web page of “notes” designed to appear to be a child’s daydreaming doodles about his beloved Ninja Turtles:

In response to Selection, Jeff Rowe, the co-director of The Mitchells vs. the Machines is the brand new Ninja Turtles’ director. The script is by Brendan O’Brien.

The Turtles, created by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird within the pages of their very own self-published comics in 1984, have confirmed to be dependable hits with film audiences. Their first movie, the reside motion Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles from 1990, featured performers inside cutting-edge creature fits designed by Jim Henson’s firm. It wound up changing into a shock blockbuster, grossing greater than $200 million worldwide towards a tiny funds.

Two extra live-action sequels adopted, after which in 2007 they appeared of their first big-screen animated film, TMNT. That movie made about $100 million in theaters, after which it was adopted about seven years later by a brand new live-action Ninja Turtles franchise (with motion-captured Turtles). The primary a type of, produced by Michael Bay, made virtually half a billion {dollars} worldwide, and led to a sequel, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows. That one was the uncommon teenage ninja mutant flop.

Rogen would appear to be an excellent match for the Turtles and their band of goofy humor. He tends to go for a barely older viewers — however positively not a extra mature one. I might even see him voicing Michelangelo. (However solely Michelangelo. Leonardo is much too severe to be voiced by the likes of Seth Rogen.)
