So I heard today...the Teenage mutant ninja turtles...aren't going to be mutants, they are going to be aliens...so they're taking a piss on TMNT history basically, worst idea ever imo

the ninjak
The Bayforce claims another victim. And the collective subconscious gets even dumber.

steverules_2
Michael Bay is indeed involved...what a shock no expression Tbh this screams Bay anyways, he told fans to calm down but he's being an ass with this move.

Patient_Leech
Could you trouble yourself to provide links? Cuz I have no idea what you're talking about..

Myth
I believe I also heard they won't be teenagers neither. The movie will be called "Ninja Turtles" last I heard.

Myth
Btw, this made for TV Ninja Turtles animated movie has the best storyline of any TMNT related thing I have seen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKWVLmDWYm8

Isn't that a myth? awesome

super pr*xy
f*ck michael bay.. he sustains his life force with every childhood he destroys..

Robtard
-Fan criticism has included comments from Robbie Rist, the voice of Michelangelo from the original movie series, that Bay is "sodomizing" the original movies and causing "the rape of childhood memories."

Hahahahahaahhahahaa

steverules_2
Sounds pretty accurate

jinXed by JaNx
i actually think the idea of explaining the turtles creation as the result of an accident or experiment from an alien species is a great idea. It's certainly better than the original origin story.

Scarlet Fox
I heard something about a New TMNT movie coming out but they are saying they are not Mutants but Aliens. Is this true or is it a Rumor?

Robtard
There's a thread in here already.

But supposedly yes, that idea is still being used and leaks of the script paint us a travesty in the making.

this sounds horrible, but if it has loads of martial arts action i might like

Sry I didnt know. I tried searching for TMNT Aliens but it just popped up with Aliens the movie and a few posts of Turtles.. May have done it wrong.

YAY Word Play!

sounds so bad.

rudester
^ I agree the whole point of them being aliens is ridiculous, it might as well be another movie...

Scarlet Fox
If they do end up making them Aliens I will have to look at it as a whole nother concept before I could even enjoy it in the slightest.

Might as well make this the thread for the upcoming TMNT movie


from last month, Megan Fox to be April

Co-Creator Peter Laird isn't thrilled about this movie after this casting

http://www.slashfilm.com/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-co-creator-peter-laird-comments-on-megan-foxs-casting/

meanwhile Kevin Eastman is bit more optimistic

http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/rorreviews/news/?a=75767

Tzeentch._
It's really interesting to me that Bay casted Megan Fox in this, not because of the movie (It's TMNT so I don't give a shit, they could cast Samuel L. Jackson as one of the turtles and I wouldn't care), but that he'd cast her in anything at all, considering she called him like, Director Hitler. lol

I wonder how intense of a blow-job she had to give him in order for him to forgive her and give her a job. Her career's been non-existent ever since that DC movie she was in and that horror-comedy bombed.

Kazenji
Michael Bay isn't directing it he's only producing it.

Tzeentch._
Considering his status, though, I imagine he has a huge amount of influence in the film. If he said not to hire her, she probably wouldn't have gotten hired.

Kazenji
I guessed they kissed (Gave a Blow job) and made up after they had a feud during the press tour of the second Transformers movie.

Esau Cairn
Laird & Eastman created TMNT as a very dark & serious comic when it 1st came out in 1984. The underlining feeling to the comics was the fact that the 4 turtles were becoming teenagers & realising that they were mutants (freaks) alone in the world. There was no female counterparts so they couldn't have a relationship, much less have offspring or "settle down".
Then the cartoons came & everything was camped up, the turtles were simply always having fun & adventure, there was no underlining darker tones regarding their bleak future.

I'm just wondering what most people prefer...a movie that's slightly darker & more serious or one that's family friendly to watch?

Kazenji
I personally have never read the comics

i pretty much grew up on that 80's cartoon.

Esau Cairn
Even the very 1st movie hinted at a serious tone but I guess making them mainstream & marketable with merchandise meant toning down to a kid friendly version.

Tzeentch._
That sounds rather silly, considering they're anthropomorphic turtles.

Which is probably why it got toned down, thinking about it.

Plus, it is indeed a goldmine to market to children.

Sadako of Girth
The graphic novels were violent bloody and more adult than the kidfriendly "hero" turtles cartoon and and the movies on which they were based...

Why is this being referred to here as TMNT when there is no M in it - technically being TANT now?

Kazenji
The opening post by Scarlet Fox was wondering why are they aliens instead of mutants

They're only aliens for this new movie


like to know why Kevin Eastman is being optimistic about this movie.

Esau Cairn
Originally posted by Tzeentch._

Yes, exactly, the turtles were given human personalities, to be more precise, teenagers at that. They were dealing in issues of adolescence without parental guidance & also coming to the terms that they would never experience having a partner (girlfriend), much less be able to reproduce.
The older they got brought anguish knowing they were the last of their "species".

jinXed by JaNx
if the ooze came from space that would be fine with me. either way i want to chill on a turtle planet for a bit. that shit would be nuts

BruceSkywalker
Just show Megan Fox nude that'll get people from thinking about the turtles being aliens laughing out loud which isn't all that of a surprise considering aliens from other worlds are easy to do.. said it before will so again, the "alien" aspect won't bother me as long as i get a good story and great martial arts action

Flyattractor
This movie will be made/ It will be Bayformers Bad,and will make millions because stupid little kids will go see it.

you can't tell me that is not nice to look at.. that's a direct deposit in the spank bank..

Ridley_Prime
Wow, and I made a joke about Megan Fox playing April at some point earlier too. It's actually happening?

@ Bruce: lol, yeah.

Tzeentch._
I wonder if she's gotten any less stuck-up now that she's nearly ****ed her career.

Impediment
Filming began March 22, 2013 in Tupper Lake, New York. Shooting began in April in New York City and at Jones Beach State Park in Wantagh on Long Island, New York under the code words "four squared" (4SQ). On April 20, 2013, the film was renamed as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. On April 29, 2013, Michael Bay retracted comments that the turtles will be aliens. Early set photos were made public showing the turtles' actors in black and grey motion capture suits, complete with life-sized turtle shells, with each actor wearing arm bands and accents of their corresponding turtle's signature color.

Impediment
So....William Fichtner is going to be Oroku Saki aka The Shredder in the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie.

A white actor....portraying a Japanese assassin. no expression

At least Michael F*cking Bay decided not to make the turtles "aliens from another dimension".


I'm simultaneously excited and scared for this film.

Impediment
In mid February 2013, actress Megan Fox had been reported to be cast as April. To get the role, Fox had to personally apologize to Bay for the comments she made in a interview with Wonderland magazine, comparing him to Hitler, and then quitting Transformers: Dark of the Moon prior to filming.

Has filming begun yet? If so i'm a little worried that the origins was changed. Kind of suggests to me that they may just be making the script up as they go.

Kazenji
Pretty sure that they are still mutants for this movie

not exactly excited about this movie, With Jonathan Liebesman directing it who's previous movies include Battle: Los Angeles & Wrath of the Titans.

flipperflip
Sounds horrible, but I still hope he pulls it off so that TMNT can finally make a comeback and we can see them more in the near future. Megan Fox is in the movie according to here here

Firefly218
Still don't understand why Bay and Fox were hired

Yeah, I don't know. I guess I really don't care. I just want to see giant turtles on screen again.

Here's a costume that just came out.. supposed to be the new look of the turtles in the upcoming movie. pretty bad! confused

I doubt the turtles will look as good as the effects in the original movie but i'm sure they will look fine. That costume looks stupid but so do all cheap dime store Halloween costumes.

also if you look in the comments, Someone posted a picture of Leonardo.

Looks like some of the turtle action will be with miniature sets & animatronics.
Better than cgi IMO.

Ah cool thanks, shredder actually looks awesome...I have some hope for this yet

Kazenji
The designs look good

but i'll wait to see what the critics say about it, Since it has Jonathan liebesman (Battle L.A. , Wrath of the titans) directing it.

ShadowFyre
What's horrible about it?

KingD19
They could have at least gotten a past iteration of Turtle voice actors to provide the voices.

ShadowFyre
After two tours and 7 IED explosions I can promise, watching Donny sling Ralph and absolutely decimate that up armored hummer means these Turtles are going to be the most physically imposing ever. I know a lot of people dislike Michael Bay and Megan Fox but I love his action scenes and I think this will be an enjoyable movie.

marwash22
after 3 viewings of the trailer, I'm not sure what to think. I'm not excited or turned off. Maybe I'll be swayed in either direction when the full length trailer drops.

meh.

Robtard
Have little to zero hope for this. Still will watch it, cos of nostalgia.

ShadowFyre
Just out of curiosity rob. What makes you not like it?

Robtard
Looks like G.I Joe level nonsense.

Michael Bay is generally a shit director.

I do like that they're being portrayed aa superhuman-level, but I don't see that as saving the film alone.

ShadowFyre
No. But after the first transformers I started just going to watch his movies for the action ( and high, that really helps lol). Do you think it would be better if done in the style like Nolan's batman? Like the original turtle comics? That would be pretty good I think.

Robtard
TMNT and "reality" would proabbly be bad. But it would depend on the writer/director; I'd keep an open mind until I saw the trailer.

While I do enjoy an action flick, it still has to be a good action flick. GI Joe was an action flick, but it failed on every single level; the second GI Jor flick upped the fail by a factor of 7.

ShadowFyre
Yeah... The joes were pretty bad.

Patient_Leech
Omg, this looks like a train wreck coupled with the Hindenburg... epic fail.

Impediment
G.I. Joe was shit.

This actually looks like it will be good, despite a white man portraying a character who is originally a Japanese assassin.

He's not directing it

Its Jonathan Liebesman that's doing it, previous work is Battle: Los Angeles & Wrath Of The Titans




as for the movie itself going by that trailer, I'm not really liking the change to their origin apart from that it looks alright.

jinXed by JaNx
Trailer looks interesting. I like the design of the turtles but the CGI and casting decisions do kind of worry me a bit now. However, I'll wait until I see more. From watching that trailer I'm reminded of one of the reasons why movies like, Transformers and GI joe failed so much for me. I don't think you can combine flashy with gritty, at least not entirely. The styles clash too much.

Still very interested

BruceSkywalker
this looks..... decent..

the only that might save it will be if megan fox is completely nude from beginning to end

ShadowFyre
I guess something is wrong with me. Despite shredder, I am looking forward to this movie. But I also liked all of the transformers. I guess I'm just not much of a critic when it comes to movies like this.

Well **** me, that trailer was like a Michael Bay film trailer. Why I thought.

Battle was alright. Wrath was garbage. I did somewhat like his "Killing Room"

Kazenji
If the film does end up being terrible, I can see Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird pulling a Akira Toriyama trying to make out the movie is good

i hope that they're smarter then that.

emporerpants
The movie looks good. Seriously, if Bay's name wasn't attached at all, 90% of the people complaining would think this was the greatest thing ever. Pre-conceived notions for the win it seems.

Definitely agree with the confusing combination of flashy & gritty, we just felt that GI Joe & Transformers lacked a little screenwriting depth - both felt very disconnected, like listening to a scratched CD.

The most annoying aspect (as a result of childhood nostalgia) must be the fact that April will not be red-headed; makes it apparent that Megan Fox probably thought herself so big for the movie that she refused to die her hair - but that's only a wild guess.

Re the plot regarding Shredder: bit disappointed if they don't stick to the original storyline. Since reintroducing Turtles to the next gen, they may feel that they have a market for redefining the Turtles. Hope they stay as witty, cool and radical as they've always been!

Kazenji
Don't know where you got the idea April has red hair

looks more brown to me.

Robtard
In the cartoons, April is usually red or red-brown.

ShadowFyre
I always thought it was just brown

Still thinks the original movie's representation of them is still the best.

^ Hm... he doesn't seem too impressed. But I respect that he's willing to hold out and see the full thing before he completely judges it.

Personally, from the trailer, I think there's very little chance this won't be a complete joke.

Lestov16
Come on. Think about the premise for one second. It's humanoid turtles who act like the Saved By The Bell cast and perform what a five year old thinks are ninja moves. Don't get me wrong, I like some movies with ridiculous childish premises (Pacific Rim for example), and I kinda liked TMNT when I was a kid (and I'll admit I did like the movie that came out a few years back). But I'm an adult now. Maybe if I had a kid I might see this, but I can not in good conscience pull out my wallet for this.


and those CGI turtles look creepy as phuck.

Can i ask what makes you so damn sure this new turtles movie will destroy the Gotg movie at the box office?

jinXed by JaNx
I think Turtles definitely has the advantage with already being an established franchise. I can see Turtles taking the edge just because parents would be more inclined to take their kids to see Turtles over Guardians because they grew up with it.

KingD19
Exactly. The turtles have been pretty much everywhere with a strong presence from the 80's up until now. Movies, tv shows, a constant toy line, merch, video games, AND comics as well.

Guardians has had comics, and like 2 tv cameos in the past year or so, both on shows aimed mainly at comics fans.

Turtles clearly has a much larger name in the mainstream, and Michael Bay movies despite what critics say tend to do insanely well at box office.


On the other hand, Guardians is a Marvel movie, and those blow up as well simply for having the MARVEL! brand.

Turtles may have the franchise advantage but seriously I personally think these new turtles will freak a lot of kids by the way their faces look. IMO they're more creepy than cute.

My 8 yr old son saw the trailer the other day & innocently commented that they look like his nephew.
Suffice to say, his nephew has Down Syndrome.

Suffice to say, his nephew has Down Syndrome.

GOTG will do well. People will go watch anything Marvel studios puts out at this point, plus it's been marketed well. But considering it is a Complete Unknown even to some comic book readers, I'd be seriously surprised if it surpasses $500mill WW. Seriously surprised!

If it does pass those kind of figures then it would have to be one seriously frigging great movie.

But assuming Turtles and GOTG are similar in quality, then yeah I'd give Turtles the definite box office advantage.

That's a big 'if' in regards to the Turtles with it being produced by Micheal Bay's company.
