The involvement of Michael Bay, who had directed two poorly received Transformers films that deviated from the source material, stirred discontent amongst fans. It was really interesting, but it was maybe a little too edgy for what Paramount wanted.”ĭen Of Geek would like to read that script. Turtles co-creator Kevin Eastman is one of few to comment on it, describing it as “…this awesome, awesome, awesome Batman Begins kind of take on the first movie. Finally, after 25 years, Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo and Raphael had jobs. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was homemade. All TV shows, films, toys and merchandise came back in some way to the two (obviously their control over the final products varied considerably, and Laird was in sole control for a good portion of that time). It was created by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird, who retained control over it for 25 years. In its way, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles had always been a bit punk rock. The sale had implications for the film, of course, but it’s worth taking a moment to consider what a change it would be for Ninja Turtles as a whole. Again on his blog, Laird remarked that the sale “could very well mean a brighter future for the TMNT property than was previously feasible” and said that he would be stepping away from the Turtles for a while. Then, a few months later, it was announced that Laird had sold the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise to Viacom (Viacom owns both Paramount and Nickelodeon).
