Nickelodeon, a division of Viacom, has acquired the global rights to the property from the Mirage Group and 4Kids Entertainment. Additionally, Nick's sister company Paramount will steer a new "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" feature to the bigscreen, planned for 2012. Scott Mednick ("300") is producing the pic.

 

Deal, which gives Nick the global intellectual property rights to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, cost $60 million. ...

 

Nick, which also acquired all merchandising rights to the Turtles, will begin developing a CG-animated TV series based on the Turtles, also slated to premiere in 2012. Nick will continue to work with its original and longstanding toy partner, Playmates Toys.

Yes, Nickelodeon has bought everything. The rights, tv shows, etc.

They spent $15 Million on each turtle, which means that they can do anything they want....

Is this bad? Will they turn the TMNT into a younger/nicer version?

Or does it just mean we'll see more turtles? You decide.

Anyways, that's it for today. This is Marvel Man, signing off. 

Excelsior!
