The Official TMNT thread

[FlawedCoil82]

I can only assume that Nickelodeon was only interested in selling this dvds to kids and weren't worried about the few hundred hardcore TMNT fans who wanted the uncut version of this film. Why go to the extra trouble of including the uncut version when they know kids will buy it with or without the cut scenes? Of course I don't understand this logic, but Nickelodeon clearly is out of touch with the reality that TMNT's adult fans make up well over half of the entire fanbase.

And yes, it is in widescreen.

[Arrow]

Honestly I could have lived without widescreen, a decent cover art, and special features if they'd have just given us the full movie. That's all I really wanted. Not because eight extra minutes is really all that precious, but without it, there are some distracting plot holes. If this is how Nick is going to treat TMNT, then be afraid people.

I was thinking today about the live action films and realized how awesome those suits were. I demand NO CGI unless for necessary for certain scenes/fights for the reboot!

I would kind of like to see it a bit darker too, sort of like the comics which in themselves were originally a parody but it became a big hit that they decided to do a whole comic series about it that was dark from what I heard. And I don't want any of the cheesey/corneyness of the 80's cartoon in it unless it's not brought up so much.

James and Mike post their thoughts on the upcoming film.

So yeah, been meaning to bump this. No news on the new TMNT series or movie, so oh well but oh well not the reason I'm bumping this.

Big news was announced around April as IDW has gained the rights to all the TMNT comics and besides seeing a new series with one of the Co-creators, we'll FINALLY see a new reprinting of the classic series starting off with a nice hardcover with 11 or 12 issues and what I hope to have is those oneshot issues as well. It would also be cool to see some colored reprints but whatever. I'm happy IDW will make everyone have the same red mask.

Now onto the other big TMNT news, season 9 IS coming to DVD finally! And let me tell you they sure took a while because I recall the last season was release in 2009. So yeah, after that we've got one series to go and we're all good for the classic series.... So how about re-releasing the newer series on DVD and a PROPER release of Turtles Forever?

Yay!

PS:I heard the new movie is gonna be a little dark like the 2000's series.

[wataru]

..did you ever bother to read the original run of TMNT? After issue 9 it went wonky as hell. Even the new Mirage stuff is lack luster.

Archie's TMNT Adventures is still the best comic version of TMNTs.

[mecha-gino]

Hold up the yays just yet. I went onto amazon to see when it comes out and what I saw made me say skreeonk You IDW!

We're getting 8 issues in total 7 of the mainstream and Raph's one shot BUT.... IDW thought and said "Hey, why not OVER CHARGE THE FUUUUUUCK OUT OF THIS! >:D" I know it's a hardcover and all but 8 issues of a black and white comic FOR 50 BUCKS IS A CRIME! I mean really, why!? Why not just reprint the 12 issues and those one shots to equal it up to 17 or so? Atleast then it would be close to that price but no. skreeonk You IDW.

I'm worried about the new film from Michael Bay and friends.

They better not make Casey, April or any humans ghetto because if they do...

[Hellspawn28]

This is the most recent news that I can find.

At this rate, this movie is not coming out in 2012. I don't know what they are doing with the film, I still would want like to see Dimension X to be used for the new film. Just seeing Krang and his army from Dimension X take over NYC would be awesome. I think we need a darker movie this time.

[mecha-gino]

Well as much as I would like to see Krang, I dunno if they would use him unless they made him into a serious villain. And I would love to see that, Krang being an actual threat and have his hand morph into a ray gun and vaporize somebody.

I want to see Shredder but make him sort of like the 03 series minus being an Alien. Infact, just use that suit as the movie's design and we're good. Look how cool this look is.

[Hellspawn28]

Someone made a cool fan film of Casey Jones.

[wataru]

Everytime I see this thread I get nostalgic and wanna hit up ebay for the action figures. The original figures, not te 2003+.

We all know is gonna be like that.

[mecha-gino]

So the new live action reboot, Bay WON'T be directing!
I'm happys now quite a bit and he's only producing so hopefully we won't see a ton of sex jokes in this one.

I've seen this image so many times, I kind of hope this will be their new look or similar too it.

All I ask for it is to be like the comics, dark and serious but try not to be like the first movie. Use something else for the plot but do throw in an occasional reference to the original animated series but not a lot.

Edit:
Oh and I've been checking out IDW's series with the turtles and at first I was fearing they would do what they did to Godzilla and Transformers but THANKFULLY they did not. The art is weird at times but I can let it pass as it's not like Kingdom of Monster's AWFUL art that makes Liefeld look like Alex Ross, oh yeah I went there. The covers or at least the first couple have this weird theme of grinny weird and show their teeth in a weird way but onto the series itself. First, THANK YOU GOD for having Kevin Eastman write the series, THANK YOU! Second even though I mentioned it, THANK YOU FOR ART THAT'S KIND OF GOOD. And Third, THANK YOU FOR THE RED MASKS! Also for not making it TOO silly like the 80's cartoon series was. But the comic itself, it's a nice little blend of the Mirage stuff and the 80's and 03 series put all together into one nice blend. We've got our references to the 80's series(Krang is mentioned), we get too see some references to the 03 series and we get to see it reference the Mirage stuff as well. It's all a nice blend of all three but at the same time it's a new story but with characters and elements we know. I love it and can't wait for it to go into trade THAT ISN'T 4 ISSUES LONG!

Jonathan Liebesman (Darkness Falls, Battle: Los Angeles, Wrath of the Titans) might direct.

http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=87083

Battle: Loas Angeles was okay, I found Darkness Falls and Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning to be awful. Bay is only the producer of the film, he will have nothing to do with any direction of the film.

[Gawdziller]

Liebsman hasn't made a good movie yet. BLA had its moments, but I don't think I'll be watching it again. I'm not exactly optimistic about Wrath, but I'll give it a shot.

I hope the best for this, but ever since it landed in Platnum Dunes lap, I've been uneasy about it.

[Hellspawn28]

I don't think I will watch Battle: LA again neither unless it's on FX. I never saw the Clash of the Titans remake and I doubt the sequel will be any better from what I've been told.

[XxComablack1937xX]

I liked the Clash of the Titans remake, one of the few who did... An i look forward to ''Wrath of the Titan's'' it looks fun... Time will tell though.. Haven't seen Battle of L.A. but i heard it was horrible. So unless it comes on T.V. i wont be watching it...

I dunno how i feel about this yet... i'll make my decision on Liebsman being director after i see Wrath of the Titans.
