The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are heading back to the big screen in live-action.

Saturday Night Live writer/star Colin Jost and his brother Casey Jost are penning the next live-action TMNT movie for Paramount, reported Deadline. Michael Bay, Andrew Form, Brad Fuller, Scott Mednick and Galen Walker are producing the film, having previously worked on 2014's live-action/CG Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and its 2016 sequel, Out of the Shadows.

Created by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird in the 1980s, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics center on Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello and Raphael, four anthropomorphized turtles trained in the martial arts by their adopted father, a rat named Splinter. The property has since given rise to multiple animated TV series, video games, theme park attractions and films, starting with the 1990 live-action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie featuring Turtle costumes developed by Jim Henson's Creature Shop. A box office hit, the film led to two sequels followed by a computer-animated reboot in 2007 and the live-action/CG adaptation in 2014.

Along with the next live-action film, Paramount and Nickelodeon are developing another CG Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, with The Mitchells vs. The Machines co-director Jeff Rowe helming from a script by Neighbors 1 and 2 co-writer Brendan O'Brien and Seth Rogen producing. Also producing are Rogen's Point Grey Pictures partners Evan Goldberg, James Weaver and Josh Fagen, as well as Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon EVP of Animation Production and Development Ramsey Naito.

Known for playing SNL's Weekend Update Anchor, Colin Jost is coming off a Primetime Emmy nomination for Outstanding Writing for a Variety Series. He also starred in Warner Bros. Pictures' live-action/animated Tom and Jerry movie and is co-penning the wedding comedy Worst Man, on top of being attached to star alongside his fellow SNL veteran Pete Davidson. His brother Casey Jost is also an actor/writer whose credits include Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and 2020's Impractical Jokers: The Movie.

Nickelodeon and Netflix are separately producing a feature film based on Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, an animated series that debuted in 2018 and gave the Turtles mystical powers, as well as featuring a different visual style than previous TMNT cartoon shows. That movie is tentatively scheduled to arrive this year, with Rogen's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated reboot launching on Aug. 11, 2023. However, a release date has yet to be set for the next live-action film.
