Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles now is one show which was every child’s favorite movie once in their lifetime at least. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was fully based on a fictional superhero group of four juvenile bipedal tortoises who were trained in the ancient art of ninjutsu ninja. There were comic books, animated children’s cartoons, feature films, and other tie-in products related to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The characters were created in 1984 by comic book writer-artist team Peter Laird and Kevin Eastman and the books were then published by the Mirage Studios. Within the stories, we saw how the turtles were trained in the Japanese martial art of ninjutsu by their father, Splinter, an anthropomorphic rat sensei. The setting of the stories was in New York City where they battled petty criminals, evil overlords, mutated creatures, and alien invaders while keeping their identity hidden from human society.
You all must be wondering why suddenly am I writing about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles well I know it has been five years since the release of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Out of the Shadows and ever since then nor have we heard of any news regarding any other Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies or anything else until today. Seth Rogen has announced on Twitter that there will be a CG-animated reboot of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to premiere on August 11, 2023. I know, the wait is quite long but I think it is going to be worth it as we are getting back our childhood cartoon back into action.

Seth Rogen, a Canadian-American actor, comedian, writer, producer, author, and director who begun his career as a stand-up comedian in Vancouver after which he moved to Los Angeles for a part in Judd Apatow’s series Freaks and Geeks, and then got a part on the sitcom Undeclared from where he began his writing career. He was then cast in a supporting role and credited as a co-producer in Apatow’s directorial debut, The 40-Year-Old Virgin. After which he co-wrote many of the films like Superbad, Pineapple Express, The Green Hornet, This Is the End and directed both This Is the End and The Interview. He had recently tweeted a photo of a crumpled paper where it was portrayed that he was brainstorming ideas and writing notes with which the rumors of Seth’s involvement in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were confirmed. This is so exciting and the day couldn’t have gotten any better as we are getting our childhood favourite cartoon back again.
According to our reports, this new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie will be directed by Jeff Rowe, who has previously worked on Gravity Falls, Connected, and Disenchantment, and the production will be done by Nickelodeon and Rogen’s Point Grey Pictures, along with co-founder Evan Goldberg and president James Weaver, while the writer is Brendan O’Brien, who wrote Neighbors and Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising, will take over for screenplay also. As 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 is how do we make a great action-adventure movie that’s also a great teenage movie.’ So I am sure this new movie is definitely gonna be a blockbuster hit.
