Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 is about to go into production. Here's everything we know about it...
NewsWe imagine you probably have rather strong feelings about the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie (I didn't particularly love it, myself), but the sequel is on the way. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 will begin shooting in the TMNT hometown of New York City (appropriately enough) and Buffalo, NY in April, in order to meet its June 3rd, 2016 release date.
"New York City knows how to host blockbuster films," said New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (via the NY Daily News). “We welcome Teenage Mutant NinjaTurtles 2 to New York City, and look forward to the many jobs this will bring to our local economy."
Dave Green is directing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2. if you're of a certain age or have kids of a certain age, you might just enjoy Green's Earth to Echo. The pacing and general tone of Earth to Echo wouldn't be inconsistent with what you might want from a fun, kid-friendly TMNT movie.
Josh Applebaum and Paul Nemec are returning as writers. Jonathan Liebesman directed the first film. Green may be a rising star, as he's also slated to direct Lore, which will star Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
It also looks like we're finally going to get to see Bebop and Rocksteady on the big screen. Producers Brad Fuller and Andrew Form dropped the news over on The Omelette (thanks to Colliderfor getting us this), "We can say that Bebop and Rocksteady are in the film, and Casey Jones is a character that we love and we're trying to fit him in as well."
