Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a part of our childhood, but has any TMNT film captured the magic that the original did? Michael Bay tried to bring the characters back a few years ago in a CGI capacity, but…well…it wasn’t good. Come to find out, fans like the animatronics version of the turtles in the 1990 film. Which, was directed by Steve Barron. The turtles were brought to life by Jim Henson and his Creature Shop.
Now, producer Kim Dawson and writer Bobby Herbeck say they’re love to bring the turtles back…in the old capacity:
“We’re trying to make that happen. We want to do a reboot. We got our fans come to us on Instagram, they’re, ‘Why don’t you guys do a reboot of the first movie?’ We’d love to do it.” – Herbeck expressed.
Herbeck continued:
“The truth is, this property, it’s established now after 30 years as a part of our modern pop culture, it’s not going away. It’s only going to continue to grow. I do wish that we could go back. I mean, we’ve talked to Steve Barron about this, and Brian Henson, and if there were an opportunity, if one of the studios saw fit, I think we could go back and reboot it like it was….Imagine if Brian Henson had access to the technology he does today to make these costumes and all that. I think it would be amazing. A reboot like that I think would really get people’s juices flowing.”
