Paramount Pictures is developing more Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles films, and this time we’re getting an R-rated, live action version according to THR. Titled Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin, an adaptation of the bestselling IDW comic miniseries of the same name. Tyler Burton Smith (Child’s Play (2019), Boy Kills World) is writing the script. Walter Hamada is producing through his 18hz production company.

It is “Set in a totalitarian future New York City, the comic mini-series told of how the Turtles and master Splinter are killed off one by one by the grandson of the villainous Shredder and synthetic ninjas. One Turtle manages to survive, barely, and vows to exact bloody vengeance. One trick of the book was that it wasn’t clear, for a while at least, which one of the Turtles lived as the survivor had the weapons of all four.”

IDW ran The Last Ronin from 2020 to 2022, where it became a massive hit. The comic miniseries was written by Kevin Eastman and Tom Waltz, based on an older story by Eastman and co-creator Peter Laird. Artists included Esau and Isaac Escorza, Ben Bishop, and Eastman.
