Commissar SFLUFAN Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Live-Action, R-Rated ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ Movie in the Works from Producer Walter Hamada (Exclusive) WWW.HOLLYWOODREPORTER.COM Tyler Burton Smith, who co-wrote the upcoming action movie 'Boy Kills World,' is penning the script for this high-body count tale. Quote After the success of last year’s animated hit film Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, Paramount Pictures is keeping turtle power going by putting a new feature project into development. This one, however, will go beyond the realm of the all-ages material the long-standing property is known for and instead go into gritty, R-rated, territory. Paramount is developing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin, adapting a popular storyline seen in the recent IDW comics, as a live-action feature with the intent of making it for an R-rating. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbsolutSurgen Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Excited to see it. Not sure how TMNT, which are almost 100% guaranteed to be CGI is "live action". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silentbob Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 I haven’t read the material, but I’m loving the fact that we are starting to see more Mature adaptations of beloved characters/material. Just watching X-Men ‘97 and I can’t believe what storylines they’re going with and the Spoiler DEATHS that have happened IN 5 EPISODES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinIon Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Well, that's sure unexpected. Makes me wonder if they saw some positive demographic scores for Mutant Mayhem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legend Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 I'm down. I liked the graphic novel, but it felt like it need more room to flesh it out. Maybe a movie can do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
best3444 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 With an R rating they could make this so badass and brutal. I'm really interested in this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkStar189 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 This sounds great. Growing up as a kid and teen, an R rated comic book movie/show was just a dream. Seeing Cyclops blast somebody or Wolverine slash someone just never had the weight that you wanted. Now we got Deadpool, Logan, and The Boys/Gen V. The mature rated superhero genre is one of the few that actually excite me anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the Michael Bay Transformers movies not live action just because the robots are obviously CGI? Sure I'd love it if they got a high tech suit like they did with the '90s movies, especially with what they could do with today's technology, but just unless the whole movie is CGI then yeah it's live action. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like this is an instance where the movie could/should be better than the book. I liked the book a lot but it def could have been more.

It will be as much a live action movie as Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
