Nolan North for Raph again. He can do the voice and motion capture.

Jensen Ackles for Mikey

 

[camp Blood]

I would say jensen would make a better raph

 

[Gamma Goliath]

Jensen for raphael, he just wouldn't be right for mikey.

 

[ShredderX]

Yeah, I can definately see Jensen for Ralph. He is one of my favorite actors and I think he can pull it off.

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

Jensen for Casey Jones

 

[Spider-Aziz]

I don't know him, don't watch Supernatural, but for some reason I'll side with this

He receives truckloads of money, why should he stop?
Biggest joke in movie making business, the boring movie maker gets people's interest in his crap

I didn't realize we had a turtles forum!? Anyway, I'm not a fan of turning the turtles into some sort of "alien" race at all...or not making them teenagers.

Neither are Confirmed...the director came out and said fans need not worry and all of that is untrue and basically bay spoke out of context....but I'm taking the wait and see approach.

Well that's a bit of a relief. I'll take the "wait & see approach" myself then.

Michael Bay doesn't have the greatest track record, especially with remakes. While I did find his Transformers movies somewhat enjoyable, his remakes of A Nightmare On Elm Street, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Friday The 13th were horrible. While visually impressive, the liberties taken with the original stories made them substandard films.

But if Michael Bay has limited control over the creative process, then this movie might be good. As long as the director has more respect for the core material than Bay does, there's hope.

 

[Marx]

If Bay spoke out of context, that's fine. I really hope his influence on this movie is limited.

 

[Thundarr]

Someone asked how Bay could speak out of context if he's the director. I don't think he's the director, I think he's the producer. Generally, the producer's job is to finance the movie, while the director's job is to make what he believes is a good quality movie (as directors, Michael Bay and Rob Zombie have virtually no idea of what makes a good movie). Thus he might have said what he thinks would make a good TMNT movie, rather than what the director is actually planning.

But that's just speculation on my part. Often times, producers have limited (if any) creative control over a movie or TV show. Other times, they're involved in every aspect of the creative process. In the cases of Rob Zombie and Michael Bay, this is a bad thing. In the case of Joss Whedon, it ensures that we get an excellent end product. As this is a Michael Bay film, I'm hoping he keeps his so-called "creative influence" far, far away from this project.

 

[Thundarr]

Oh, and with the concept of the radioactive ooze which mutates the turtles and Splinter into the sentient humanoid ninjas we know and love being of alien origin? I have no problems with that plotline. In fact, if memory serves me correctly, I believe that was the original source of the ooze in the graphic novels which started this whole franchise. So that's not so much giving the turtles a facelift as it is going back to basics.

 

[TheVileOne]

The director never actually said what Michael Bay said was untrue.

 

[Art Damage]

Maybe the ooze that transforms the Ninja Turtles is from an alien race and it somehow has a connection with Dimension X which would be kinda cool to bring Krang in, but Hollywood really needs to understand that if ain't broke...don't fix it.

Especially when it comes to one of the most important things to me in my childhood.

 

[sweetre15]

Unfortunately he just said it was "Out of Context" lol...And hopefully while they're still "figuring things out" they keep the Turtles as Mutated by an alien ooze and not from an alien planet

 

[Frontier]

I hope they title this new film appropriately.

"Teenage, but No Longer Mutant, yet Somehow Still Ninja, even though their now Aliens and Not really Turtles Anymore?"

Or maybe

"Teenage Aliens who Look like Turtles and Fight Like Ninjas, Somehow?"

 

[Thundercrack85]

I can live without teenage. I mean, what does being teenaged even mean if you're a mutant turtle? They can live to be 200, without mutation. Plus, with the exception of Michelangelo, the turtles are usually depicted as being fairly mature anyway.

And it's not like they're going to high school or dating.

 

[Spider-Who?]

Liesbman comes off as spine-less.

Didn't see it posted (unless I scolled thru too quickly) .... but Vanilla Ice hints that he's involved ....

MTV News caught up with the rapper during his Sneak Peek Week appearance for "That's My Boy" ahead of Sunday night's MTV Movie Awards, and he teased that he may very well be involved with the Michael Bay-produced "Ninja Turtles" reboot.

"I can't say anything," Ice grinned when asked if he would be involved with the return of the Turtles. "I know that they're not from the sewers now. They're aliens now or something."

Ice, who famously performed "Ninja Rap" in "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze," is a committed fan of Splinter's reptilian warriors. Like, seriously committed, to the extent that he's tattooed their likeness to his own shin.

"I don't mess around," he said of his "TMNT" pride. "I'm still a Ninja Turtles fan."
