Could somebody actually be dumb enough to try and make another live-action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie? Maybe so. The guys over at Slashfilm say they spotted a blurb on the website of Playmate Toys which seemed to indicate as much.

According to Slashfilm, the blurb read as follows: “Following the success of the ‘TMNT’ theatrical release in 2007, Mirage licensing and Imagi studios have begun work on a new live-action TMNT film for 2010. It’s the turtles like you’ve never seen them before! Shellalicious!” Sounds pretty definitive, doesn’t it?

Here’s the strange thing: That quote is no longer on the Playmate site. It now makes no mention of a live-action movie, and merely says they’re exploring the possibility of a new TMNT movie for release in 2010. They make no mention of whether it’s another animated movie or if it’s live-action. To me, animated makes more sense. After the first CGI movie did fairly decent box office business, there was talk that a sequel is in the works. It seems likely that’s still the direction they’ll end up going, despite the nostalgia some of us 80s kids have for those awful, rubber suits.
