The first glimpse of the CG-animated reboot of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, or rather the first hints at what might come.
The reboot comes from producer Seth Rogen (Pineapple Express) and Nickelodeon. Brendan O’Brien will write the script. O’Brien wrote both Neighbors films starring Rogen.
Director Jeff Rowe, who recently made The Mitchells vs. the Machines, takes the helm. Evan Goldberg and James Weaver also take producer credits, while Paramount will handle the overseas distribution.
Rogen shared an image from his notes, rather Leonardo’s notes, featuring details about the characters he’s considering and possibly some insight into the Turtles themselves. Check it out below:
The image is actually a ton of information if you know what you’re looking for. Last year, Rogen said:
“When I look at Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the ‘teenage’ part was weirdly what stuck out to me the most.
I think one thing we’ve been pretty consistently good at over the years is creating material about teenagers, from Blockers, Good Boys, and Superbad.
That was really what became exciting for us. How do we make a great action-adventure movie that’s also a great teenage movie.”
