Paramount is looking to keep the Teenage Mutant Turtles around a bit longer. After the success of the animated movie, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, the studio has unveiled its next move. On Thursday, The Hollywood Reporter revealed that Paramount is developing a movie based on The Last Ronin.
The movie will be based on the IDW comic of the same name from writers Kevin Eastman and Tom Waltz. The comics were released between 2000 and 2002, and a video game adaptation has already been announced although a release date is currently unknown. Tyler Burton Smith, who wrote the 2019 Child’s Play, is on board to write the screenplay. The movie is expected to have an R-rating. As of this writing, no director is attached to the project.
The Last Ronin is being produced by Walter Hamada via his 18hz production banner as part of his multi-year deal with Paramount.
