Deadline report that MICHEAL BAY& Jonathan Liebesman's planned reboot now has a set release date. Their report also hints at the methods Liebesman and co will be employing to bring the Heroes In A Half-Shell to life this time around..

Since it was announced that Jonathan Liebesman (Wrath Of The Titans, Battle LA) would be taking the helm on a rebooted live action outing for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, we haven't heard much else about it. Well now an official release date has been set by Paramount, and those mean, green, fighting machines will be with us Christmas day 2013..



Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Movies are proud to announce the release of TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLESon December 25, 2013 (wide).

And please note the following updates to Paramount’s release schedule:

ONE SHOT,previously scheduled for February 8, 2013, will now open on December 21, 2012 (wide).

WORLD WAR Z,previously scheduled for December 21, 2012, will now open on June 21, 2013 (wide).


The budget for the movie is also said to be $100 Million. As you can see Paramount have shaken the release dates up on two of their other big movies too. In addition, In Deadline's report they say "Live action-CGI combo" when referencing the TMNT reboot. Now it probably wasn't too much of a stretch to assume that it wouldn't be four guys in rubber suits this time around anyway, but there ya go. Sounds like Raphael, Leonardo, Donatello and Michelangelo will be fully CGi and live action mixed!
