TMNT: Mutant Mayhem Sequel Gets Major Update From Seth Rogen
There's a title and a script that's far enough along that Rogen has seen a movie's worth of storyboards.
Seth Rogen says the planned sequel to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem is coming along pretty well. There's apparently a full-storyboarded animatic of the movie, and it has a title -- one that Rogen says he's very excited about. The star has been a steady presence in animation recently, with Mutant Mayhem joining things like Invincible and The Super Mario Bros. Movie on his resume. His latest animated outing, Prime Video's Sausage Party: Foodtopia, just dropped on the streamer, and Rogen spoke with ComicBook in support of the show. That's when Chris Killian took the chance to ask a little more about Mutant Mayhem.
"There is a title, and it's awesome, but I don't think I can say it," Rogen told ComicBook. "But when it came up on the screen, I stood up and cheered. There's an animatic -- there's a storyboarded version of the whole movie, so they're working on it right now."
Prime Video premiered all eight episodes of Sausage Party: Foodtopia exclusively on Prime Video on July 11. In addition to the returning cast members from the original Sausage Party movie, Sausage Party: Foodtopia will also feature Natasha Rothwell and Yassir Lester who lend their voices to the animated series, plus Will Forte as a human character named Jack, and Sam Richardson, who will portray an orange named Julius. Based off the 2016 animated feature Sausage Party, the series Sausage Party: Foodtopia follows Frank, Brenda, Barry, and Sammy as they try to build their own food society.
