‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’: Neal H. Moritz in Talks to Produce Live-Action Feature for Paramount (Exclusive)

Neal H. Moritz, known for The Fast and the Furious franchise, is in talks to produce a new live-action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie for Paramount, aiming to revitalize the franchise by drawing inspiration from the successful Sonic the Hedgehog films. This move comes as Paramount reassesses its IP portfolio, with the studio fully owning the TMNT brand and seeking to maximize its potential. The decision follows the cancellation of the animated series Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and the shelving of another live-action project, The Last Ronin, as Paramount aims to create a family-friendly, high-grossing franchise akin to Sonic.
