Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Movie in the Works from Seth Rogen

The heroes in a half shell are heading back to the big screen!

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are set to return to theaters as Nickelodeon Animation will produce an animated film installment along with Point Grey Pictures, in a joint effort that will include Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, and James Weaver in the film’s production.

Jeff Rowe, co-director of the upcoming Phil Lord and Chris Miller-produced animated movie Connected, will direct the film from a script written by Neighbors screenwriter Brendan O’Brien.

Brian Robbins, president, Kids & Family Entertainment at ViacomCBS stated,

“Adding Seth, Evan and James’ genius to the humor and action that’s already an integral part of TMNT is going to make this a next-level reinvention of the property,”

“I’m looking forward to see what they do, and I know that Ramsey Naito and her team are excited to take the Nick Animation Studio into another great direction with their first-ever CG-animated theatrical.”
