Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie gets release date

Paramount has set a date (sorta) for their upcoming live-action/CGI hybrid Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, so get ready to mark your calendars: Christmas, 2013.

Jonathan Liebesman (Battle Los Angeles) will direct the film, which is being set up by Michael Bay‘s production company Platinum Dunes.

It would be the fifth movie based on the comic book characters, following the three live-action films from the early 1990s, and the CG animated 2007 flick TMNT.
