Gamerz Edge reports that Kevin Munroe has been signed to write and direct a new CGI-animated feature-length "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle"s film. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will ramp-up Imagi Services' plan with an animated film that will take advantage of new technology developed since the last Turtles film was released in 1993. Now in pre-production, the film is targeted for U.S. release in spring 2007.
Kevin Munroe has done extensive animation work during the last decade including video games, television series, and original comic books. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have enjoyed over 20 years of success in the U.S. and around the globe. Having shot to mainstream popularity with hit TV series, top grossing films, number one selling toys and enduring comic books, the property has generated over $6 billion in revenue. The first of the three live-action films grossed $135 million domestically, setting a seven-year box office record for independent releases. The new TMNT film will be produced by Tom Gray (who guided the first Turtles trilogy through production) and Galen Walker of Imagi.
