New Live Action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Movie In The Works? - Part 2

[Carnage27]

As for bays words on their origin, I think he probably hit the nail on the head. And here's my soon to be confirmed prediction. The director is from South Africa, District 9 is huge there and within that story we are presented with a similar and 100% believable premise of mutation. A terrestrial creature is exposed to an unstable extra terrestrial substance and over the course of a short time his genetic and perhaps atomic make up is shifted over to an entirely new form. This form can be considered a mutation however because he was not born this way ala xmen but rather exposed ala spiderman(not a mutant) so that may not be the correct definition. What is apparent is that by the end of the transformation he has the genetic make up of an "ALIEN(race)." If someone gave me a shot of Kryptonian blood and a week later I was pretty much superman, I wouldn't call myself a mutant. Not a full Kryptonian either, but if my genetic make up was 100% alien at that point.... If this isn't close to what they are considering I'll eat my shorts.

That's just the normal origin then. Haha

What's interesting as always is the FanBoy element. It's almost fun to them. This videos, analogies to rapping little kids and requests for petitions whist there are real problems in the world worth petitions.

good on you.

What's even better is people who sit around on comic book message boards and complain about fanboys.

Y'know, while there are real problems in the world worth complaining about.

1)


Plenty of people took a wait and see attitude. It's guys like you and roach who were ranting about the fanboys lamenting their raped childhoods when barely anyone on this board said anything of the sort.

I didn't label the group of people who hated the idea as lamenting their raped childhoods...I called out people who made the claim and equally dumb statements...like comparing Bay to Hitler

Ergo why the outrage is =
as usual.

yea, but there is no such thing as rage about nerd rage lol.
It really is the rage bit that off putting. Moreover, complaining about such things is one thing but petitions is where I start to wonder.

As someone who was a bit disappointed (I wouldn't say I was outraged) at the initial Bay quote, I wouldn't say the fan anger and apprehension was unwarranted, considering Bay's track record as quality is concerned. Obviously some went overboard, but they aren't people worth speaking about.

On the same token, Bay brought this on himself with his trolling remarks. And I'm sure he wanted it to turn out this way.

Bay destroying yet another hunk of my childhood????? http://theworldofrossology.tk/oh-****-this-cant-be-good/ ...... I wonder what it would be like to have had another director at the helm of this or even his Transformers movies...... http://theworldofrossology.tk/call-it-curiousity/

bay is'nt directing it lol

take your rage down a notch lol

No offense to Marvin but...

I think that's the problem with the Internet in general: Topics become the usual 'Us vs. Them' after it goes viral and unfortunately, overboard. Usually there are great constructive arguments initially (and from both sides) that always grows out of control.

That being said, I hope Liesbman and Eastman (man, man) somewhat follow the new IDW series that Kevin penned.

I don't mind if the Foot takes a back seat for the time being because frankly I don't mind seeing Krang, his rock soldiers, and perhaps...alluding to Bebop and Rocksteady!

 

[sweetre15]

If Liebesman's insinuation of Bay's statement's being wrong proves correct then from now on, I'm at the very least in favor of Bay keeping his mouth shut LOL.

 

[Octoberist]

Bay seems like a guy who is out of his element when it comes to geek things. Like his interns have to hand him notes or something. Do you really think Bay grew up with Transformers or TMNT? No way.

Otherwise, he comes off as a text book 'old guy' who would sprout out 'You kids plain' them computer games?'

 

[Project862006]

bay reminds me of a 90's dated frat boy

 

[louiebling$]

I like the idea that perhaps the ooze itself is of alien origin. That I could live with.

Lol that is the turtles original origin

Kinda.

Or like how 21 Jump St pointed out that nerds are the cool kids now (and the new modern bullies). Not in Bay's world!

 

[Marvin]

No offense taken.
I'm just glad the actual director is finally being mentioned here and there. But like I said now that positive news is about people need to find someone to attribute it too.

Bay like every filmmaker out has an element they feel comfortable with. I don't see Nolan making a believable urban dance film any time soon. Bruckheimer would be another such character. Which is why I would have much preferred Del Torro or even a Justin Lin on this.

Atleast with TF bay was knee deep in production/devopment meetings where here he's just the producer. Which in in Todays world means very little involvement other than to bring a name.

 

[Octoberist]

Yeah, I'm glad that Jonathan is stepping up. That and forgot that he has press to do since 'Wrath of the Titans' is coming up. Perfect timing on Bay's part!

I saw of the clips from 'Wrath' and I take back what I said about the shaky camera. It's very present and very tight, and I hope Jonathan grows out of it. Design-wise, I liked the creature design from 'Wrath'. As long as the Turtles don't have beaks, I'm cool with him.

It could go either way. Both the IDW run and the original comics have the ooze as an extraterrestrial origin. The newer one has Krang directly involved, while the original has the Utroms which are obviously the inspiration for Krang.

Considering the new comics are fresher in his head, I'd imagine we'll get something closer to it, but with a touch of the original.

I don't mind if the Foot takes a back seat for the time being because frankly I don't mind seeing Krang, his rock soldiers, and perhaps...alluding to Bebop and Rocksteady!

Bebop/Rocksteady aren't really main villain material, though. They're super human lackeys, not the leaders. I wouldn't be adverse to seeing them, but not as a main villain.

My hope?

Movie 1: Krang/Rock Soldiers with Baxter Stockman as a supporting villain

Movie 2: The Foot make their presence felt, Shredder defeats the turtles in combat, almost killing Leo and forcing the Turtles/Splinter/April/Casey to retreat to the farm

Movie 3: The Turtles train and refind themselves on the farm, and return to New York, wiping out The Foot and killing Shredder.

 

[Octoberist]

What I meant by alluding to the mutant Rocksteady and Bebop is: Them as hired thugs.

Oh yea. Very much like IDW then.

I just hope they don't try to stuff too much in here. If they're going to do Krang, don't try to stuff Shredder into the movie as well.

Has it been mentioned if we are still getting actual rubber suits and a CGI head? or if the turtles will be wholly CGI.

 

[Octoberist]

Liesbman hasn't confirmed anything but with the interview he did with Collider, he didn't spell it out but said that he admired the work done in 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes'. Kinda like a 'wink wink' hinting.

If they are able to get WETA or ILM, then awesome. If not, don't bother.

 

[craigdbfan]

Liebesman hinted that they'll be using full on mo cap in the vein of the new Planet of the Apes film.

Lets just hope they can also get WETA on board as well.

This.

He also said he's amazed at the resources Paramount is throwing at this, and they aren't pulling any punches. I think we'll see one of them doing the job. I really hope it's WETA, though.

Well seeing as Bay has an amazing relationship with ILM I wouldn't be all that surprised if they go with them also. Then again I have a feeling they'll get a lot of big VFX houses on this project. Digital Domain seems like another given also based on their history with Bay.

I love ILM, but no one does performance capture like WETA. Really hoping they do this.
