Is TMNT 2023 live action?
|
The next Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie to play on the big screen has gotten its official title. From Paramount Pictures, the animated feature film is scheduled to release in theaters on Aug. 4, 2023, and to mark the one-year countdown, the studio has officially unveiled the movie's title. As seen in the official logo above, the movie is called Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem. Show The film is a collaboration between Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Movies. Seth Rogen is producing with Evan Goldberg and James Weaver. Jeff Rowe is directing while Kyler Spears serves as co-director. Not much else has been revealed about the film beyond that it has a 2023 release date, but the filmmaker have done some teasing about what fans of the heroes in a half-shell can expect from their return to the big screen next year. The goal is for this film to start a new TMNT franchise by having this movie appeal to people of all ages, children and adults alike. “It’s animated, and it goes back to the roots of the Turtles," Paramount chief Brian Robbins previously told Variety. "Seth and his producing partner Evan Goldberg were brilliant choices because no one can tell stories about being teenagers better than those guys. They’re passionate and super nerdy about the Turtles. It’s going to work for kids, parents, Gen Z-ers and Millennials. We have plans to do multiple animated movies this way, but one day we might go back to a hybrid live-action version of the Turtles.” Heroes in a Half-Shell, Turtle Power!

However, we’ve known for some time that there are also two theatrical Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies in the works — one a live-action reboot from SNL writers Casey and Colin Jost and producer Michael Bay, and the other a CG animated project from Seth Rogen.

As for the CG film, a lot was recently unveiled by Paramount Pictures. Produced by comedy duo Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg and co-directed by Jeff Rowe and Kyler Spears, the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot now has an official title and release date.
