What movies is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem inspired by?
Speak with Empire MagazineDirector Jeff Rowe mentioned that they were inspired by a few films, including Greta Gerwig’s Stand By Me and Lady Bird. Rowe said they wanted to be like those movies “but with ninja turtles.”
“We wanted it to be like Stand By Me and Lady Bird. But, you know, with Ninja Turtles,” Rowe said of the new TMNT movie. He went on to remark that his goal was “to create the ultimate coming-of-age movie for teenagers… They have a lot of that fake confidence that teenagers have: when you’re a teenager you don’t know any better, so .” They act with the exaggerated feeling: ‘We can do anything!’”
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem is produced by Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg and James Weaver. Executive producers are Ramsay McBean and Josh Fagen.
“After years of shelter from the human world, the Turtle brothers set out to win the hearts of New Yorkers through heroic deeds and be accepted as normal teenagers,” reads the film’s official synopsis. “Their new friend April O’Neil helps them take on a notorious crime syndicate, but they soon find themselves in trouble when an army of mutants is unleashed on them.”
