A New 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ Movie Scheduled For A 2023 Release Has Revealed Its Title
The heroes in a half shell are eating good pizza tonight. Mere hours before the release of one animated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie, the franchise is ready to start revealing more about what’s next.
On Thursday, Seth Rogen, producer of 2023’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film through his company Point Grey Pictures marked the one year countdown to its release, having been moved up a week as of February from the originally announced August 11. He marked it by announcing the film’s title: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem. It was painted on the corner of Canal and Lafayette Street in New York City, according to Nickelodeon. Such announcement of a theatrically released film in the franchise, even an animated one, brings the @TMNTMovie social media accounts out of dormancy, more than six years after the last film, Out of the Shadows. Of course, the accounts had their avatars and headers updated for the newly-titled film.
Mutant Mayhem is directed by The Mitchells vs. the Machines co-director and co-writer Jeff Rowe, co-directed by Kyle Spears, and screenplay by Brendan O’Brien, who wrote the Neighbors films that starred Rogen. It is far from the last Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film in the works, as a live-action film written by Colin Jost and his brother Casey was announced last August, and a series of animated films distinguished by individual villains from the franchise’s rogues gallery was announced for Paramount+ in February. It’s going to be a good time for fans going forward, and while no new series is publicly in the cards yet, movies like Mutant Mayhem could help make it worth the wait.
