Bad Words writer tapped for new Ninja Turtles movie It’s been almost two years since any word has come out regarding the future of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise, but Paramount Pictures seems poised to see the titular heroes return to the big screen once again. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the studio has hired writer Andrew Dodge (Bad Words) for a new Ninja Turtles movie which will be another reboot, ignoring the previous two live-action films. The franchise is set around four humanoid turtles mutated by an experimental ooze named after four Renaissance artists, Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello and Michaelangelo, who protect New York City using ninja skills they have acquired through the teachings of their rat mentor, Splinter, who was also transformed by the ooze as well. After a successful live-action film series in the ’90s and a popular revitalized TV series in 2012, Paramount used the rights purchased by Nickelodeon to reboot the film franchise with CG turtles instead of practical suits, and though the film earned very negative reviews from critics, it was a box office hit, grossing almost $500 million on a $125 million budget.
