Ninja Turtles is definitely the name of the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, and here’s why…
The continued unrest surrounding the upcoming live action/CG Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, to be directed by Jonathan Liebesman, has most recently centred on the proposed title. For the name of the film was reportedly dropping the Teenage and Mutant, going instead by the moniker Ninja Turtles. Turns out, it’s true.
Michael Bay, who is producting, has once more taken to his website to explain the decision, and to ask for a bit of slack when it comes to the film.
He wrote:
“Paramount marketing changed the name. They made the title simple. The characters you all remember are exactly the same, and yes they still act like teenagers. Everything you remember, why you liked the characters, is in the movie.
This script is being developed by two very smart writers, with one of the original creators of Ninja Turtles. They care VERY MUCH about making this film for the fans. Everyone on this team cares about the fans. Just give them a chance. Jonathan the director, is a major fan of the whole franchise. HE'S NOT GOING TO LET YOU DOWN.
MICHAEL”
Ninja Turtles, then, is set for release in December 2013.
