Word is afoot that a film version of my all time favourite childhood comic, The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is in the works, with the writers of the Iron Man franchise on the case.

Although, whether this film will work for the generation that actually cared about the comic remains to be seen. After all, the turtles were a favourite childhood comic for some very good reasons. When you’re a child, you desperately want to be a teenager. Being a ninja that is both teenage AND a mutant turtle is a trifecta of awesomeness that no pre-pubescent being can deny.

So, with that in mind, will the writers go for a dark edge, suitable for the story’s grown-up fanbase, or will whimsy save the day?

In other news, Google have totally made themselves Mark Zuckerberg’s bitches after it was announced that a film chronicalling the rise of Google will be released at some point next year.

Sorry Google, we’ll have already seen the Facebook movie by then, and there are only so many scenes of coding geeks snorting line off of professional’s behinds that we can take in one film season.

Next time take a leaf out of your own rule book: Be the first result.
