Set as director for this new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles outing is Jeff Rowe, who—having only served as co-director (alongside Michael Rianda) on upcoming Sony Pictures animated feature Connected—makes his debut here as the lone credited director for a feature.

Seth Rogen’s production company, Point Grey Pictures, is partnering with Nickelodeon for a CG-animated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie.
Rogen, Evan Goldberg and James Weaver are producing, with Jeff Rowe (“Gravity Falls”) directing. Brendan O’Brien is writing the screenplay. Paramount will globally distribute the film.
The Tmnt, named after Italian Renaissance artists, were created by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird in 1984 and originated in comic books published by Mirage Studios. Since then, there have been six movies that have made over $1.15 billion at the box office, with the last two films (live-action) having been released in 2014 and 2016.

We’re never far from a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot. Paramount’s Michael Bay-produced movie duo may have failed to be as big as the studio hoped, but you can’t keep a good Turtle down forever. And sure enough, it seems the heroes in a half-shell may be revived in a new streaming TV series that could be the darkest take on the franchise we’ve ever seen.
The Cinema Spot is reporting that CBS All Access is developing a new live-action Tmnt show, which will be based on The Last Ronin, an upcoming Idw limited series from original creators Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird.
