Deadline New York's Michael Fleming is reporting that Michael Bay and his Platinum Dunes cohorts, Andrew Form and Brad Fuller, are set to produce Paramount's live-action reboot of TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES. Cowabunga?
Though I was a fan of the Eastman & Laird comic books in the late 1980s, I didn't think much of the first film and never bothered with the sequels. So I'm actually pleased Platinum Dunes is shifting their focus from remakes of horror classics (like THE BIRDS and ROSEMARY'S BABY) to reinvigorating less prestigious franchises like TNMT. You may feel differently. If so, please share your thoughts in the below talkback. I'm sure Platinum Dunes would love to read them.
According to Fleming, Platinum Dunes will begin meeting with writers next week. Any suggestions?
