New ninja turtles movie in the works.

OMG, sooo excited, If they make this version true to the comics, it'll hopefully be roxstar, cause the comics were much darker, with consistent adult themes a more true to life portrayal, if you will, than the animated series and the three movies that pretty much sucked. It's kind of amazing that the turtles franchise is still around, there's even a 'new' turtles cartoon series on fox(?) right now that I watched once. So that makes it like at least a decade of cartoons, comics and action figures. Cowabunga dudes!!

Weinsteins go Ninja

In the brothers' first studio partnership since they worked with Disney, the WeinsteinCo. will work along with Warner Bros. to distribute the all-CGI animated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The movie is set for release in early 2007 and will be the first time the reptilian superheroes have appeared on the big screen since 1993. The three films from New Line in the early 1990s grossed over $256 million in North America. The new property will be grittier than the first films, pulling its atmosphere straight from the comic series. Kevin Munroe will write and direct the film. He's working on the screenplay in consultation with Peter Laird, who co-created the franchise.
