If you’re an eighties kid like myself, then you grew up on the anthropomorphic mutant teenage turtles. I had all the action figures, watched the animated series religiously, and waited in line on opening night to see the original live-action film!

Deadline is reporting that Colin Yost, best known for his work on Saturday Night Live is teaming up with his brother Casey to pen an untitled Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles story for Paramount.

The series, about four anthropomorphic mutated teenage turtles, named after renaissance artists and trained in the sacred ways of ninjitsu by their master; an anthropomorphic rat named Splinter. Has developed a massive fan following over the thirty-five years of its history and seen many variations and reboots. Including comic books, animated series, feature films, toys and video games.
