Nickelodeon and Point Grey Pictures' Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg and James Weaver haved announced that production will begin on a new CG-animated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles theatrical motion picture.

The film marks the Nickelodeon Animation Studio's first-ever CG theatrical production, in partnership with Ramsey Naito, executive vice president, animation production and development, overseeing production for Nickelodeon. Josh Fagen is overseeing for Point Grey Pictures.

Paramount Pictures will handle worldwide distribution of the film.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles motion picture will be directed by Jeff Rowe and written by Brendan O'Brian."

Said Brian Robbins, President, kids & family for ViacomCBS: "Adding Seth, Evan and James' genius to the humor and action that's already an integral part of TMNT is going to make this a next-level reinvention of the property. I'm looking forward to see what they do, and I know that Ramsey Naito and her team are excited to take the Nick Animation Studio into another great direction with their first-ever CG-animated theatrical."

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a global property created in 1984 by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird. It first debuted as a successful comic-book series and then became a hit animated TV show, a live-action television series and later spawned numerous blockbuster theatrical releases.

Nickelodeon brought the franchise to life again in 2012 with the CG-animated series Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and then reimagined the Heroes in a Half-Shell with the 2D-animated series Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in 2019.

As previously announced, as part of a separate deal, Nickelodeon and Netflix are partnering to produce an original animated 2D film based on the current Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series.

ORWELLIAN BOOK: Abrams Books has set a Sept. 8 release for Orwell, by Pierre Christin.

Here's how the book is described:

"George Orwell's most celebrated work, 1984, and the prescient vision it contains of a society governed by Big Brother predates the constant monitoring of people and data we are familiar with today by almost 70 years. But his life was every bit as fascinating and forward-looking as his books. With illustrations by artists including Annie Goetzinger, Juanjo Guarnido, Enki Bilal, Manu Larcenet, Blutch, and Andre Juillard, Christin's Orwell offers readers an intimate yet definitive portrait of our greatest political writer."
