There has been little buzz around the fact that Paramount is pushing ahead with a sequel to last year’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. But the studio, looking to capitalise on the $485 million worldwide box office of the reboot, has the cameras rolling with Earth To Echo’s Dave Green directing. We know that Will Arnett will be back as smarmy cameraman Vernon Fenwick and The Hollywood Reporter brings word that Victoria’s Secret supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio is set to join him as the character’s new girlfriend{ =nofollow}.

Little else is known about the film, besides the fact that Josh Appelbaum and André Nemec have once again written the script, which, one assumes finds Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello and Michelangelo (and, most likely Megan Fox's April O'Neil) back to battle the forces of evil. Reports have pointed to classic ‘toon/comics franchise mutants Bebop and Rocksteady making an appearance.

Ambrosio, who until recently has been best known for her runway work, has cropped up on the likes of Gossip Girl and Entourage (of course), and had a tiny, wordless cameo in 2006’s Casino Royale. She’s also appearing in the new Will Ferrell/Mark Wahlberg comedy Daddy’s Home, which should be out here this year. As for the second Turtles outing, that will hit our screens on June 3, 2016.
