Paramount has set the writing team of Josh Appelbaum and André Nemec (Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol) to write Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

The project would mark the fifth big screen outing for the sewer-dwelling heroes Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello and Raphael as well as their master Splinter, based on the characters created by Laird and Kevin Eastman.

No production date has been set.
