Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin (Realfilm, Rated R)

[StS]

After the success of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, inspiring a sequel and animated series, Paramount Pictures continues to go all in on Turtle Power. THR reports that the studio is now developing a new R-rated, live-action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie.

The live-action movie, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin, an adaptation of the bestselling IDW comic miniseries of the same name. It’ll mark the first R-rated feature film for the franchise.

The Last Ronin is “Set in a totalitarian future New York City, the comic mini-series told of how the Turtles and master Splinter are killed off one by one by the grandson of the villainous Shredder and synthetic ninjas. One Turtle manages to survive, barely, and vows to exact bloody vengeance. One trick of the book was that it wasn’t clear, for a while at least, which one of the Turtles lived as the survivor had the weapons of all four.”

In other words, expect the opposite of the innocent teens we met in Mutant Mayhem.

Tyler Burton Smith, who co-wrote the upcoming R-rated action brawler movie Boy Kills World and who wrote the 2019 Child’s Play reboot, is writing the script.

Das Comic hatte ich zuletzt häufiger mal in der Hand. Sollte vielleicht doch mal zuschlagen...

Hier ebenso. Ist momentan ebenso wie das Batman/Turtles-Crossover und die große Splitter-Reihe auf meinem Wunschzettel geparkt... soll ja den Kritiken nach ziemlich gut sein. Realfilm rated R klingt auch nicht verkehrt, ich mochte den Animationsstil des letzten Films zwar ganz gerne, aber mir war das alles zu kindlich-harmlos...
