New Live Action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Movie In The Works? - Part 4

[Poni_Boy]

At least, considering that (no farther back than October) there was a report of yet another second act rewrite being done for this film.

Fixed

Yeah but it just seems like this movie has been coming out forever and we never see it

 

[Poni_Boy]

That's because you're a fan looking for news every day online and talking about it all day on a messageboard. Normal moviegoers won't know about it until the trailer starts playing in theaters. Same goes for every movie like this. It feels like forever for us because we want new news every day from when it's announced until it hits theaters. Most people? A single poster, single trailer and world of mouth are all that matter. That's why production delays mean nothing in terms of marketing or good/bad PR.

 

[Kal-El.9859]

Well fingers crossed it comes out this August. Really wanna see this asap

Lol if the internet ever goes down I'll be miserable. In the 80's your only news came in bite size chunks through random magazines, which may or may not appear on your local shelf, interspersed with long long periods of nothing because you weren't thinkign about it.

Imagine hearing about a GALAXY BATTLES sequel, then 6 months later seeing a tiny footnote in Starlog about casting, then nothing for another year, where you might get a short director interview or something.

Such primitive times. I don't know how we managed to not kill each other with rocks (our preferred toy in those days, along with cave wall painting, building fires and pooping in the woods)

The Wizard magazine fake movie casting articles were my fav (I still have the Generation X one I think). I'd sit there like "Oh MAN! Why can't someone make this movie. UGH" having no idea that different studios handled different characters and Marvel had just filed for bankruptcy

did someone say weapons

Leo is 10/10.

 

[dark_b]

Jesus. Relax. This is why I don't mention things. People always take it way too far

i am happy that you wrotte all of this. everything now makes more sense.

how can an actress get pregnant hen she knows that she will have some reshoots in the next months?

 

[craigdbfan]

People were talking so much **** and now that we get a glimpse at the turtles people are speechless. Typical.

Love how they look like. Leonardo (the headband looks purple though so I thought it was Donatello) looks so freaking awesome.

 

[smidders]

Imagine how ****ing good this movie would be if it was directed by gareth evans

 

[Darkness Falls]

really have to eat some crow on this one, the turtles look much better than i thought they would

 

[Octoberist]

I'm going to crow too. The Turtles look amazing.

 

[DaddlerTheDalek]

The Turtles look Awesome. The Shredder looks Badass!
I love the Designs.

 

[Nathan]

My only nitpicks are Raph looking like Turtle Hulk, some Turtles looking a bit overdressed, and Shredder looking just way over the top.

 

[jaymes_e06]

^Is that all? Sheesh...

he looks like Raph the barbarian, he looks way bulky and like a brute, that´s my only compain

I don't mind the pads, they actually look cool, but the chest piece is kinda over kill, (not that it looks like it would provide any protection anyway, an is more of decorative piece) but, still seems unnecessary give that he's already has a shell

its abit detracting, an take away from his over all look

 

[Nathan]

I would have preferred Raph with proportions like this. Still looks like he can kick your ass easily. But he doesn't look like he could rip you in half with his bare hands.

 

[Lobo]

I LOVE the way they look. Leo's pic above is my Facebook profile pic right now

 

[DaRkVeNgeanCe]

Personally I like these Turtle designs better than anything that's come out since the original three films, this look is just a perfect update to me.

I love the idea behind him, but I find the execution a bit over-designed. Maybe it's because all of his gear is a make-shift job. And I guess he's a bit too overprotected, when compared to the rest of the Turtles, who barely have any armor. Mike just has freaking pants and sneakers.

I would have preferred a minimalistic approach with the armor.

I think getting rid of one shoulder armor and the chest piece, would probably be enough to make him seem less busy.

It infuses the character.
He's clearly aping the something he saw/read in a samurai book. I'd imagine he's the type of teen that watched one to many kurosawa films or maybe it has something to do with how spinter dresses. The point is, this isn't a matter of why batman decides to wear a cape or why spidey has rubber soles on his feet in ASM. This is almost 100% characterization work seeing as they are choosing what they want to wear and obviously need none of it.

Imagine that, in a bay movie of all places.

I think it would look better without the chest stuff but that's beside the point.

 

[Wheels]

Great designs! i want this movie to be good.
