Is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on Disney Plus
UPDATED with release date: The CG movie reboot of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which Deadline scooped last year (see the story below) was coming from Nickelodeon and Point Grey Pictures, now has a release date. The pic being directed by Gravity Falls' Jeff Rowe will hit theaters August 11, 2023.
Seth Rogen, who is producing with his Point Grey partners Evan Goldberg and James Weaver, unveiled the date Tuesday in a Twitter post, along with some "notes" from Leonardo, one of the four shelled heroes at the center of the kids franchise.
There were no other details provided aside from some doodling in the margins of the notes, which featured words like honor, loyalty and discipline which are staples of the Turtles mythology. There's also a note to "apologize to April," a nod to the journalist who helps the quartet fight crime.
