‘Ninja Turtles’ reboot retitled as ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ as script gets rewritten
Vocal fans were unhappy with Michael Bay and Jonathan Liebesman’s upcoming Ninja Turtles movie reboot and will not try to head into a positive direction.
TMNT Lair broke the news that the project has been renamed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and confirmed per the logo showed by Paramount Pictures during their CinemaCon presentation.
The Lair detailed the fans’ unhappiness thus far: First rumored that the turtles would be aliens, and later confirmed in a leaked script, then Bay officially announces the movie title as “Ninja Turtles” dropping the flagship words “Mutant” and “Teenage”.

Now Evan Daugherty (Snow White And The Huntsman) has rewritten the script and the film is now in production.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles stars Megan Fox, Will Arnett, Danny Woodburn, Alan Ritchson, Pete Ploszek, Jeremy Howard and Noel Fisher.
The film is set to hit theaters June 6th, 2014.
