Rogen previously spoke about the film and what he and the creative team are trying to make of it. He also shared how it will be different from other iterations we’ve seen. He explains that this new film will lean more towards a teenage coming-of-age story:

“As a lifelong fan of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, oddly enough the ‘Teenage’ part of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has always been the part that has stood out to me the most. And as someone who loves teen movies, and who’s made a lot of teen movies, and who literally started his entire profession writing a teen movie, the idea of ​​perfecting that element was really exciting for us. I mean, not neglecting the rest, but really using it as a sort of starting point for the film.

Jeff Row (Gravity falls, connected) is set to direct the while project Brendan O’Brien (Neighbors: Sorority Rising) is writing the script.

Paramount has also previously confirmed that after Mutant chaos comes out, there will be a series of villain-centric films coming exclusively on Paramount+. I assume these will all be related to the movie.

The film is scheduled for release on August 11, 2023.
