Live-Action TMNT Movie in the Works!

When you look at the writers attached, what tone this Turtles adventure is likely to take emerges even more. Liebesman will be working from a script by Josh Appelbaum and André Nemec, the guys who just wrote Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol. That movie had some hard hitting action and some big adventure, but once again, nothing too dark, nothing very questionable; a film that most people wouldn’t blink at taking their kids to.

So while this new version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is certainly looking to be a bit less kiddie than those PG-rated, foam rubber flicks from the 90s, people who are holding out for a gritty, bloody samurai movie with a cursing Raphael and what have you are likely to be severely disappointed. And, you know what? That’s okay. A little Turtle fun is a good thing. Just as long as we don’t bring in Krang or the Neutrinos, I’ll be fine. And is it too early to start campaigning for them to bring back Elias Koteas as Casey Jones again? He is Casey Jones to me, to the point where I get upset seeing him do other things.
