Nickelodeon Urges Seth Rogen to Dial Down Milking Jokes in TMNT: Mutant Mayhem
Nickelodeon embraced the screenwriter's creative vision for TMNT: Mutant Mayhem, demonstrating unwavering support throughout the process
The movie Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem takes some bold risks with the franchise, featuring a unique animated style and plenty of playful, teenage humor. Writer Seth Rogen admitted to feeling anxious when presenting the movie to Nickelodeon executives for the first time, but was relieved when they responded positively. Variety reports that Rogen was nervous about showing a scene from Mutant Mayhem to Nickelodeon president of animation Ramsey Ann Naito, but their reaction was overwhelmingly supportive.
"They didn't try to stop us from making it wild. They may have suggested cutting a few jokes, but we refused. Nickelodeon (and Paramount) clearly believed in the animated movie, announcing a Mutant Mayhem TV series and sequel before the movie even premiered. The project was already in development a week prior to the theatrical release and ended up making over $180 million at the global box office, according to Box Office Mojo."
The upcoming Mutant Mayhem sequel is set to feature Shredder as the main antagonist, according to Rogen and director Jeff Rowe. They believe that Shredder is the most fascinating villain in the TMNT universe, similar to the Joker in this world. Although he was considered for the first film, it didn't quite fit the story at the time. However, now they have the opportunity to explore his character and are excited to see how it will unfold.
