Writer Wants Jim Henson TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES Back for “20 Years Later” Sequel
Director Steve Barron’s first live-action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie turns thirty this year. Yikes. And today, screenwriter Bobby Herbeck says they would love to bring back Jim Henson’s Creature Shop Turtles for a “20 years later” sequel.
Herbeck tells ComicBook.com: “Yes. The answer is yes. 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 also reveals he’s talked with Barron and Brian Henson about a new film.
He adds: “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.”
