One week ago, we reported to you that Michael Bay will be producing a reboot of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in which the half-shelled heroes are aliens instead of mutated turtles, and aren’t actually teenagers.

On Monday, we reported on a story noting that Michael Bay and bottom of the barrel production company Platinum Dunes (behind such wonderful remakes as A Nightmare on Elm Street and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre) were rebooting the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise in 2013.

Jonathan Liebsman, hot off the upcoming Wrath of the Titans and last year’s Battle Los Angeles, has already lined up his next project. According to Variety, he’ll be bringing back the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to the big screen, from a script by Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol‘s Andre Memec and Josh Applebaum. The project was set up by Michael Bay‘s company Platinum Dunes, so it’s hard not to speculate the reboot will be done in the style of The Dark Knight (aka gritty and hard edged).

Michael Bay and Paramount Pictures are one step closer to bringing their live action reboot of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to the big screen. According to THR, they’ve hired Art Marcum and Matt Holloway, who previously worked on the first Iron Man movie to pen the script.

Last year The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles turned 25 and in celebration of their monumental B-day it was announced that Legendary Pictures would be rebooting the live action film series. Let us preface this by saying the original Ninja Turtles movies were awesome (Part 3 was meh) and they spark up instant nostalgia for any kid born or raised during the eighties. With that being said the folks over at Latino Review may have found the first photo of the newly redesigned heroes. Love it or hate it, take a look and let us know what you think…
