August 30^th, 2001 (12:00am) - That’s right! The NES, TV show, and movie(s) most of us enjoyed awhile back, will be coming back.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are planning a comeback with a $40 million-$60 million CGI feature film from Peter Laird’s Mirage Studios -- which owns the Turtles rights -- and Digital Rim Entertainment, whose John Woo and Terence Chang will produce. Also planned are a new animated Saturday morning television series, a live-action miniseries to air on the Hallmark Channel and a series of next-generation video games.

According to the Dailynews, a Game Boy Advance Turtles game is expected to ship in fall 2002 alongside the TV series launch. PlayStation 2, Xbox and Gamecube Turtles games would launch in spring 2003 at the earliest. Multiple games are expected to ship based on the Turtles property. Depending on the game publisher with which Mirage signs, Rainbow Studios might develop one or more of the titles.
