GO NINJA GO NINJA GUHHHH….
07.21.09So they’re making another live-action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. Mirage studios owns the rights and they just hired John Fusco to write the script. The best part of the story? Check out the heavy lifting the Variety writer has to do to make this sound like a good idea.
Fusco will certainly be able to handle the action elements.
He’s been practicing martial arts since he was 12, and continues to study Shaolin kung fu. He penned last year’s actioner “The Forbidden Kingdom,” starring Jackie Chan and Jet Li. He also wrote a redo of “The Seven Samurai” for the Weinstein Co. His other credits include “Hidalgo” and “Young Guns.” [Variety]
Wow, he’s been taking Kung Fu since he was 12??? Perfect! Who better to write a Ninja Turtles movie? Wait, I have an idea: What about Keanu Reeves? He knows Kung Fu AND has the added benefit of not having written Hidalgo.
