According to Seth Rogen, his upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles flick won’t be your usual action movie. The Golden Globe contender, 40, highlighted his films—including Superbad, this is the end, and his upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot—that reveal a more complex side of him than audiences may be aware of.

We managed to make it quite intimate, he remarked. Since it’s a teen film, we incorporated many of our own emotions, including awkwardness, insecurity, a desire to fit in and be accepted, among other things, into the production.

“And as I sit around with the other people working on [the film], I’m like, ‘We found a way to care about this,’ which is great,” Rogen continued.

Rogen launched the title, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, in August after it was originally revealed that he would produce the movie in 2020. He also included the release date on a wall mural. Variety reports that the film will be computer-generated and animated in the manner of the television series.

Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo, the four iconic TMNT characters, would be the “teenage” focus of the new film, he previously told Collider in 2020.

“As a lifelong fan of Ninja Turtles, weirdly the ‘Teenage’ part of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was always the part that stuck out to me the most,” Rogen said, adding: “The idea of the kind of honing in on that element was really exciting to us. I mean, not disregarding the rest, but really using that as kind of a jumping-off point for the film.”

Rogen has experience handling sensitive material. Working on his most recent movie, The Fabelmans, was particularly emotional for him, especially for director Steven Spielberg, he said at the 10th annual Hilarity for Charity.

“It’s very directly based on his life and pretty much everything that happens in the movie is something that happened to him,” Rogen said. “As we were shooting, I’d be like, ‘Did this happen in real life?’ and the answer was ‘yes’ a hundred percent of the time.”

The Canadian actor said working with such a well-known and accomplished director as a humble experience. For someone like [Spielberg] to even be aware of my existence, let alone believe I might contribute to or help their picture, was really nice and validating, according to Rogen.

The premiere of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem is set for August 4, 2023.
