New Live Action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Movie In The Works? - Part 3 - Page 10

TheWiseGuy487 · 03-26-2013, 07:11 PM

You know, I'm willing to give this the movie the benefit of a doubt, if only for the fact that the backlash from the previous leaked treatment caused them to go back to the drawing board and delay the film back another year so they could get it right.

I'm cautiously optimistic.

Van Petrol · 03-26-2013, 07:31 PM

I willing to give it the benefit of the doubt because it's the Turtles, and I'd love to see it be successful. But we'll see...

Cassandra Cain · 03-26-2013, 10:19 PM

A Batman Begins type of TMNT...ahh, dare to dream.

This.

Only way to look at it IMO.

This has the potential to me very good, but also has potential to be very bad.

I'll give it a shot if they cast a Super hot guy as Casey and the previews aren't too dire.

TheAQU4M4N · 03-27-2013, 12:54 AM

I was just watching "Heroes" last night, Milo Ventimiglia reminds me of the original Casey, Elias Koteas.

Matt Mortem · 03-27-2013, 12:57 AM

I'm actually pretty OK with the casting of the Turtles themselves. Obviously Megan Fox is a piss poor idea for any role, but as with many of you I'm cautiously optimistic.

Octoberist · 03-27-2013, 02:15 PM

I think April's main trait, regardless of what version, is her empathy. With Megan, while I don't dislike her, there is a 'Mean Girls' vibe about her even when she tries to play it down. She's not the girl next door, she's the Sugar Rush girl who licks her lollipop arrogantly as she mocks Sarah Silverman.

But it depends on the writing. The director (Liesbman) is completely journeyman so I don't expect much from him, but if the new script is good enough, on the level of Mission Impossible 4, then we're in business.

solidsnake86 · 03-27-2013, 04:42 PM

I'm actually surprised they bothered casting actors as the turtles (waiting for someone to quip that they aren't very good). I thought they would just hire a bunch of stunt doubles who know martial arts.

Octoberist · 03-27-2013, 05:32 PM

Pretty much, they've hired young unknowns who are (probably) comedic and character actors. While I don't know them besides the guy who's playing Mikey, they seem legit actors waiting to break.

spidergeek232 · 03-27-2013, 06:22 PM

I like the casting, minus Megan Fox. Excited to see what they look like.

Lencho01 · 03-27-2013, 06:55 PM

Part of me feels they'll be like older versions of the turtles in the Nick toon.

These had me cracking up...

If they could capture that same brotherly camaraderie from the cartoon, I would be so happy.

The first one is hilarious.

Watching that second video, I could probably buy Megan Fox as a reporter.

terry78 · 03-27-2013, 07:32 PM

They won't be recording voices separately in booths, they'll be on set doing the actions and all that so I think they'll be able to capture the spirit.

Just by their looks and what I've seen of them besides the guy playing Leo, they give me an older Nick toon version kind of vibe to me the most when compared to past show and film versions.

It's easier to buy her as a reporter than a scientist.

Let's be objective here.

Seems he's saying some good things on his tweeter about the movie too.

Now that you mention it, I see minor resemblance between them

Marvin · 03-30-2013, 09:07 AM

Watching that megan fox scientist ad, it's pretty clear she can pull this off. Considering the source material...

Will Arnett has joined the cast.

GREEN =w= DAY · 04-02-2013, 05:51 PM

i love Will Arnett, but this is weird casting

wonder who he'll play

Gamma Goliath · 04-02-2013, 06:22 PM

Hopefully he's Krang, if not krang then some kind of fed investigating ninjas in new York lol.

A federal investigator? That's actually a cool idea. I could see him VOICING Shredder.

Marvin · 04-02-2013, 07:05 PM

Looking forward to the internet bashing Will Arnett now.

Johnny Drama · 04-02-2013, 07:08 PM

^ I think you put too much stock into how much people care. TMNTII had Vanilla Ice. I and III had Corey Feldman. They aren't casting a Christopher Nolan film for the love of god.
