Taking the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in a daring new visible route has labored out phenomenally for Paramount prior to now, however the studio’s subsequent experiment with the characters appears like one thing that’s going to be tough as hell to tug off nicely.
In keeping with The Hollywood Reporter — Paramount is within the early phases of growing a live-action, R-rated movie primarily based on The Final Ronin, IDW’s 2020 comedian that tells the story of how one of many Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles grows as much as turn into a fair deadlier warrior following the dying of his three siblings. The film is ready to be produced by former head of DC movies Walter Hamada, and Boy Kills World co-writer Tyler Burton Smith is connected to jot down the script.
The comedian sequence — written by Kevin Eastman, Peter Laird, and Tom Waltz and illustrated by Esau Escorza, Isaac Escorza, and Luis Antonio Delgado — was far darker than most basic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles tales and left readers guessing as to which member of the unique quartet they had been seeing eviscerate scores of individuals on the web page. Coming after Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, pivoting the Turtles IP again to live-action appears like a dangerous wager on Paramount’s half that’s going to remind everybody how nightmarish the 1990 adaptation was.
However as strong because the comics are, Paramount may very well be onto one thing with this new undertaking, particularly if it could actually discover a inventive crew that has the suitable imaginative and prescient.
