Jonathan Liebesman May Direct Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
The earliest memory of being at a movie theater I have is going to see the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. In particular, me laughing at an animatronic baby turtle jumping up and down, shouting “Radical!” So, hearing news that there is some forward movement with the new movie brings a heart-warming sense of nostalgia.
Jonathan Liebesman, the director of Clash of the Titans, Wrath of the Titans, and Battle: Los Angeles, is in line to be the director of the Platinum Dunes and Paramount production of the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. Most other deatils about the movie are still vauge at this point. What we do know is that this will be sort of a re-imagining or reboot of the series. You can expect the Foot Clan to be in it, along with April O’Neil and Casey Jones. It’s also likely that it will be real human actors interacting with CGI ninja turtles and rats.
Should Jonathan Liebesman sign on for the movie, he says that there aren’t many kinks in the script to work out. So that means we can start hearing about a cast sooner rather than later. Who do you think will fit well into the movie? Give us your thoughts.
