In the latest of “thing from your childhood turned dark, gritty, and violent” news, a new live-action, R-rated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie is in development, as The Hollywood Reporter details.
Adapting the popular Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin storyline, the film is set to be quite a pivot from last year’s successful animated feature Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem. Tyler Burton Smith — co-writer of the upcoming Boy Kills World and 2019’s Child’s Play — is set to helm the script, while Paramount Pictures will oversee.
Despite its cartoony connotation, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise has surprising precedent for more adult-oriented stories. The original 1984 series launched as a black and white independent comic and was both inspired by and poking fun at the work of Frank Miller, Chris Claremont, and ’80s Marvel. Subsequent toy deals, televised cartoons, and the 1990s films helped to foster a more child-friendly,...

In a story likely to evoke a bit of déjà vu, yet another Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie is reportedly in the works, with SNL Weekend Update co-anchor Colin Jost set to co-write the script with brother Casey Jost, awaiting a yet-to-be tapped director. However, news on this particular project arrives a mere five years after the franchise’s last live-action iteration released its sequel and presumed swan song, 2016’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows, leaving a possibility that the new movie might just be a threequel. Moreover, like its predecessor, the mysterious movie project will be a production of Paramount Pictures and the very same producers, notably the auteur of onscreen explosions himself, Michael Bay. So, are we getting a new iteration of the Turtles or not?

“SNL” head writer Colin Jost and his brother Casey Jost are set to write the screenplay for a new “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” film in the works at Paramount, an individual with knowledge of the project told TheWrap.

Comedy troupe the Tenderloins are having a moment.
This month finds the “Impractical Jokers” in a wonderful place. They took to the sea Feb. 10, on their fourth cruise; three days later their truTV show celebrates its 200th episode; their movie opens Feb. 21. And they recently announced six weeks of arena dates for “The Scoopski Potatoes Tour.”
Not bad for goofballs who delight in cracking up each other. The four have been doing that since meeting as freshmen at Staten Island’s Monsignor Farrell High School. Sure, the pranks are more elaborate now. And they haven’t done all on their wish list.
But even when good sense prevails, their authenticity remains.
“The reason the show works is we get to be ourselves,” says Joe Gatto.
Fans and colleagues agree.
The premise is deceptively simple: Four guys — Sal Vulcano, Brian “Q” Quinn, James Murray and Gatto — pull hidden-camera pranks. The joke,...
