Art Marcum and Matt Holloway have been tapped to script a new live-action Turtles film for Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes, reports Deadline.
"The studio is looking at this as its next huge franchise, like Transformers," said a source.
The studio is eyeing a 2012 release for the picture.
Marcum and Holloway previously collaborated on the script for Marvel's Iron Man.
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise began as a comic book in the 1980s and spawned several TV series, three live-action films, one CGI animated feature and various toys and other products.
