Seth Rogan steps in to give a new take on the 80’s classic.
“In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, after years of being sheltered from the human world, the Turtle brothers set out to win the hearts of New Yorkers and be accepted as normal teenagers through heroic acts. Their new friend April O’Neil helps them take on a mysterious crime syndicate, but they soon get in over their heads when an army of mutants is unleashed upon them.”
This in intriguing new TMNT comes to us form the mind of Seth Rogan and while a new TMNT reboot is nothing really “new”, the trailer has us thinking this could be a new direction that sticks around for a bit. The look feels in line with the 2012 series which was probably my favorite out of all the reboots we have had in the past 20 years and felt slightly closer to the original.
Variety just released it’s full cast list which you can see below. There is no shortage of talent here both new and old, but rest assured they have a big task ahea dof them by carrying the torch of a very popular franchise.
The voice cast also features a slew of notable performers taking on characters that will be familiar to “TMNT” fans, including Hannibal Buress as Genghis Frog, Rose Byrne as Leatherhead, John Cena as Rocksteady, Ice Cube as Superfly, Natasia Demetriou as Wingnut, Ayo Edebiri as April O’Neil, Giancarlo Esposito as Baxter Stockman, Post Malone as Ray Fillet, Paul Rudd as Mondo Gecko, Maya Rudolph as Cynthia Utrom and Rogen as Bebop. Jeff Rowe (“The Mitchells vs. the Machines”) is directing.
