Paramount has launched development of a third “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” movie — two years after “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows” was a serious disappointment.
The studio has hired Andrew Dodge, whose credits include “Bad Words,” to write the script. Producers are Michael Bay, Andrew Form, and Brad Fuller through their Platinum Dunes production company.
The studio is aiming to reboot the franchise through the third “Ninja Turtles” project.
Paramount’s two movies are based on the comic by Kevin Eastman and Kevin Laird about wisecracking pizza-loving turtle superheroes named after the Renaissance artists Michelangelo, Raphael, Leonardo and Donatello, using ninja skills acquired from a radioactive New York City rat. The first movie, simply called “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,” was released in 2014 and grossed $493 million worldwide while “Out of the Shadows” took in about half that.
Dodge’s script for “Bad Words” was named to the Black List. He’s worked on “Space Jam 2” and “O’ Lucky Day.” He is repped by CAA, Grandview and Gang Tyre.

I've seen all the older Turtles movies, but between really not liking the design of the Turtles in the last two movies, not finding the previews appealing and hearing a lot of bad word of mouth, I still haven't bothered to see them.
A reboot instead of another sequel seems like a good idea, but I'm not getting my hopes up for much improvement until I see something like design changes for the Turtles themselves.
