We can’t stop the Ninja Turtles anymore! In addition to the games and the Paramount+ series which are in development, we learn of the existence of a new feature film that is unique in many respects.
The Ninja Turtles are 40 years old this year! A cult, intergenerational saga, which was born in 1984 thanks to the talented Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird. After a notable debut via comics, the license exploded very quickly with adaptations into series and films. The love story between the anthropomorphic creatures and the public has lasted all this time, without any weariness. And it is not the success, and the success of the latest animated feature film Ninja Turtles Teenage Years, which will prove the opposite. Which has not escaped Hollywood once again…
A Ninja Turtles film that will disturb the public
Everyone remembers the Ninja Turtles films from the 90s but also, and for completely different reasons, those with Megan Fox. Feature films which, unlike their predecessors, did not remain in the annals and were crushed by critics. To make them forget, Paramount will try its luck again with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin, a live action film which will adapt the comic book The Last Ronin. And the production company does not plan to water down anything, since we should expect an “R-Rated” project according to information from The Hollywood Reporter which is at the origin of the scoop.
The Ninja Turtles film The Last Ronin therefore promises to be as violent as the comics. And it could hardly be otherwise given the scenario. In this story, readers witnessed the massacre of mutants, including Splinter, except for one: Michelangelo. Therefore, some real violence and blood is to be expected, which should be a little more shocking than usual. Unheard of for the series on the big screen.
To tackle Ninja Turtles The Last Ronin, Paramount hired Tyler Burton Smith, who wrote Boys Kills Wolrd and co-wrote Child’s Play: The Evil Doll – the 2019 version of Chucky. Walter Hamada, who oversaw horror franchises like The Conjuring for Warner Bros. Pictures, and who created his production company 18hz specializing in the horror genre, is also at the helm of this live-action Ninja Turtles film: The Last Ronin.
The Last Ronin in video game and cinema!
A Ninja Turtles The Last Ronin game is also still in development, although its future is uncertain. Black Forest Games, which is owned by Embracer Group, has been hit by an unprecedented wave of layoffs. 50% of developers were fired by the “video game ogre” who is wreaking havoc in the industry. A sad situation for those affected, but also for the title in the event of cancellation. Despite the little information available, we know that the experience should be similar to that of the God of War games, and according to Kevin Eastman, it is worth the detour. The creator of Ninja Turtles, who had access to a non-final version, declared that the software is “so magnificent, so fantastic”. Don’t throw any more away! So we’re crossing our fingers that the game will eventually see the light of day alongside the film adaptation.
