Release of TMNT delayed by a year
The upcoming sequel from Paramount Pictures was originally set for release on October 9, 2026 but has now been pushed back to September 17, 2027.
The change in schedule has been caused by delays in animation physical production.
Filmmaker Jeff Rowe is directing the follow up to the 2023 film, which included the voice talents of Ayo Edebiri, Maya Rudolph, John Cena, Seth Rogen, Rose Byrne, Jackie Chan, Ice Cube and Paul Rudd.
Announcing the sequel, Paramount CEO Brian Robbins said: 'In the nearly 40 years since 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' launched into the zeitgeist, it has entertained generations of fans and only continues to grow. We are excited to grow 'TMNT's legacy in partnership with Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg at Point Grey, and Jeff Rowe, who are innovating the franchise with their singular brand of humour and elevated storytelling for audiences everywhere, across virtually every platform.'
Ramsey Naito, president of Paramount Animation and Nickelodeon Animation, said. 'Reinvigorating this franchise has been years in the making, and we are thrilled to continue expanding the beloved 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' universe and bringing new adventures to families and fans.'
Rogen produced the first movie and voiced warthog mutant Bebop, with Micah Abbey, Shamon Brown Jr., Nicolas Cantu and Brady Noon as turtles Donatello, Michaelangelo, Leonardo and Raphael respectively.
Chan voiced the Turtles' mentor Splinter, with Byrne as Leatherhead and Cena as Bebop's pal Rocksteady.
In addition, Hannibal Buress played Genghis Frog, Ice Cube as Superfly, Natasia Demetriou as Wingnut, Ayo Edebiri as April O'Neil, Giancarlo Esposito as Baxter Stockman, Post Malone as Ray Fillet, Rudd as Mondo Gecko, and Rudolph as Cynthia Utrom.

Guinness credited for Pierce Brosnan's luscious locks
Pierce Brosnan credits "Guinness" for his enviable hair. The 72-year-old actor explained his dietary theory as to why Irish men have luscious locks when asked how his own mane looks so good and noted that his father Tom "had good hair". Speaking to Page Six at the premiere of The Thursday Murder Club, Pierce said: "I don't know. "It's all in the hair, the old Celtic hair." The former James Bond actor suggested that "potatoes, butter" or "the Guinness" is responsible for the lack of baldness in Irish men of a certain vintage. When told that he was ageing like fine wine, Brosnan replied: "I'm doing my best!" Brosnan plays retired trade unionist Ron Ritchie in the upcoming Netflix murder mystery film The Thursday Murder Club - based on Richard Osman's novel of the same name - but explained that it isn't the first instance of him taking on a character who is "rough-around-the-edges". "I've done rough-around-the-edges before," he said. "(I've) been so entrenched in the world of the sophisticated man and Mr Slick and Mr Elegance, you know, sometimes you paint yourself into a corner with your own ... you get hoisted by your own canard so to speak!" However, Brosnan pointed out that playing suave roles hasn't served him too badly, playing James Bond in four films between 1995 and 2002. "It's paid the rent over the years!" Brosnan has been praised for his recent role as crime boss Conrad Harrigan in the Paramount+ series MobLand and is delighted that the show has been received so well. "I've been hearing that yes, for sure. One can feel the wave, and you celebrate it and give thanks, doesn't happen that often!" Meanwhile, Brosnan has encouraged whoever is cast as the next James Bond to "be bold" and "have a great time" in the role. "Be bold. Enjoy it. Know yourself, be strong, go out there and have a great time," he told Extra. "There's so many wonderful actors. It's a magnificent role. Whoever finds the role, it will change their life."

Pierce Brosnan believes Irish diet is the secret to his good hair

He added: "There's so many wonderful actors. It's a magnificent role. Whoever finds the role, it will change their life."

Forget Downton Abbey and Bridgerton. This is the period drama you need in your life
Time travel doesn't exist yet, and let's be honest, if it did, humans couldn't be trusted to use it responsibly. Thankfully we have television, able to transport us back in time to a world before television. To a time when cars were horses, and jeans were the distant dream of someone trapped in a corset. And there are certainly a lot of televisual time machines floating around out there these days. Since the success of Downton Abbey, Julian Fellowes' historical drama following the lives of the aristocratic Crawley family and their domestic servants in the early 20th century, we have officially been living in the age of scandalous prestige period drama. And what a time to be alive! In the wake of Downton Abbey, TV has gone all in on luxurious sets, fabulous old-timey clothes, and giant casts of people far sexier than you'll ever find depicted in some dusty oil painting. The historical accuracy is rarely (read: never) the point: we're after big costumes, big mansions, big betrayals and big reactions, preferably in an accent that actors probably call 'Olden Days'. They come in all styles, united through the inherent melodrama and wondrous escapism of watching rich people suffer rich people problems. Some are overly self-serious (Wolf Hall), some are utter schlock (The Tudors). Some prioritise romance (Victoria), others the potent cocktail of humour and violence (The Great). Some go for opulence and spectacle: The Crown was famously one of the most expensive shows ever made. And others crank the sex appeal up to 11, a smorgasbord of witty repartee and semi-nudity: ahem, Bridgerton; ahem, Mary & George. But one period drama on television right now outdoes them all. It's ambitious, lavish, provocative and utterly engrossing. It has also flown under the radar, lost in the maelstrom of shows set in the histrionic days of yore. Julian Fellowes' follow-up to Downton Abbey is even better than its predecessor. It just aired its third season on HBO; in Australia, it streams on Paramount+. It is called The Gilded Age. The Gilded Age is set in New York City, during the boom years of the 1880s. It primarily follows the trials and tribulations of two extremely rich families – the 'new money' Russell family, whose patriarch George is a ruthless business tycoon and ambitious futurist, and the 'old money' Van Rhijn-Brook family, whose wealth has been inherited over generations and who refuse to accept these new-timey industrialists into their exclusive society. When approached without irony, a show about the rich and royal quibbling over etiquette and reputation can become tiresome quickly (looking at you, The Crown). But by moving the setting from an old country estate in England to the bustling streets of a booming New York, Fellowes presents a world slightly more recognisable to us modern plebs, and therefore ripe for satire. In the reality we live in, where the pettiness and trifles of the obscenely rich are the catalyst for so many of the world's ills, there is a joy in seeing that entitled upper crust confined to their ballrooms and mansions, where their rivalries and game-playing are pure spectacle, rather than likely to bring about the fall of civilisation. It's riveting and hilarious, rather than terrifying and depressing.
