Directed by Jeff Rowe and produced by Rogen, Evan Goldberg, and James Weaver, Mutant Mayhem will follow the crime-fighting turtles as they set out to "win the hearts of New Yorkers and be accepted as normal teenagers" after years of being sheltered from the human world, per a synopsis. New pal April O'Neil helps them take on a mysterious crime syndicate, "but they soon get in over their heads when an army of mutants is unleashed upon them."
"We are beyond thrilled by this world-class cast we've assembled to bring these iconic, beloved characters to life in a new chapter of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles universe," Ramsey Naito, president of Paramount and Nickelodeon Animation, said in a statement. "This really sets a new bar for this globally celebrated franchise, and we can't wait to show audiences this film."
The classic Ninja Turtles property was created in 1984 by Peter Laird and Kevin Eastman, debuting first as a comic book series before becoming a hit animated series in the '80s and live-action series in the '90s. It also spawned several blockbuster theatrical releases from filmmakers Steve Barron, Michael Pressman, and Michael Bay, among others.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem arrives in theaters Aug. 4.
