The Ninja Turtles are back in 2012, TV Show and a new movie

Latinoreview was the first to report the news on the Ninjas... Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to be exact. Nickelodeon has purchased the rights to the turtles for $60 million. This is a total package for Nickelodeon. They get movie, TV, video game and merchandising rights to everything TMNT.

Nickelodeon announced a new CGI TV show to start in 2012, similar to the movie TMNT. The movie we told you about a few months ago, will also be released in 2012.

Personally I love the Ninja Turtles. I grew up on them and look forward to anything they put out. I do worry it's going to be campy, like Ninja Turtles 3 was. But if it stays dark, much like the first film in the live-action trilogy, it should be a hit!

Quickie: Live-action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie a go

Mirage Studios is taking on the turtles, figuratively of course. All we know is the movie will have a "hybrid" look of cgi and live-action. Plus it is a complete reboot, not a sequel to the 1990's movies. It will look at the origin story of the turtles and also include Shredder and the Foot Clan. Can't wait for this one, hope they don't screw it up, I grew up on these characters and will be personally offended if it fails! Ha!
