Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles by...Michael Bay?

Post by Nutso »

Michael Bay and the rest of Platinum Dunes will oversee the launch of a new live-action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film, according to Deadline New York.

The film marks the first non-horror remake for Platinum Dunes, who will team with Paramount and Nickelodeon to re-adapt the property.

The franchise, which began as a black and white comic book series in 1984, rose to tremendous popularity when it became an animated series in 1987. Following the first live-action film in 1990, the series spawned two live-action sequels, a live-action television series, a second animated series and a CGI feature film.

I have to agree. This sort of style might be perfect for Bay.

At least it'll keep him away from making any more war movies.

This can't be good. A TMNT film won't be good unless it hearkens back to the original '80's comic - and that would be violent enough to be rated "R" if not "NC-17," which no production company would spend dime one on.
