Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles kick it to Nickelodeon
So what'd they use, a trail of pizza? Nickelodeon has lured the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to their fold.
The kids' movies/television/toys/whatever else network, itself a division of Viacom, has shelled out (geddit?) $60 million for global rights to the Turtles, according to Variety.
Other than toys and comic books, that means Nickelodeon gets a planned return to the movies for our amphibian allies, as well as a CGI version of the television cartoon tentatively scheduled to surface in 2012.
Hmmm, the purported year of the world's end coincides with a bunch of mutants jumping around the sewer? It's all becoming clear.

60 million? That doesn't seem like a lot of money for what could be a profitable franchise.
