Oh for the love of…
After the last Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies, Out of the Shadows, performed pretty poorly despite a lot of fans – us included – loving it as it was pure cartoon-level abandon, it seemed like it might be a while before we’d ever see the heroes in a half-shell on the big screen again.
But here we are… reboot time!
The new movie will be produced like the last two, by Michael Bay, Andrew Form and Brad Fuller’s Platinum Dunes production company.
Form spilled the beans to Variety (video below), saying: “We’re doing a reboot of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles at Paramount. That is looking like production at the end of the year.”
Joined by Fuller, the duo said that as yet there are no actors or directors attached but it seems the foursome are coming back.
Fuller made a point that the new movie would actually be quite similar to their last production, A Quiet Place in that, at its core, it’s about family and keeping the family together.
We like that idea… but, in fairness, we we think that all incarnations of the team have managed to have that at its core.
Would be cool if they went back to the basics with the franchise though and had it as a darker incarnation… not Netflix dark, more DC dark.
But anyway, we’re sure we’ll have more to reveal by year’s end.
Thoughts?

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
