New Live Action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Movie In The Works? - Part 5

[Zaron]

What I'll never understand is why people who have said time and time again that they have no intrest in this movie keep coming back bere to discuss it and complain about it. If they want to talk about the Turtles there are other areas for that. Don't come in here and rain on our parade, ya know?? I think them constantly coming back to discuss it shows that they actually do have some intrest in this movie

Yes, because this is your forum. For positive feelings only. It all belongs to you. Your little clubhouse. Everyone else is a big mean poo poo head and needs to go away to Mars. Yes. It couldn't possibly be that they are human beings with strongly negative feelings, they are surely lying when they say they don't like what they're discussing.

Seruously though, stop asserting that people need to stop talking about the film if their feelings are negative. A conversation is no fun when people are only allowed to express one point of view.

I think people forget that the four main characters of the film are cgi characters. Its not like guardians of the galaxy where you can have a trailer full of human characters with little bits of the cgi creatures. They have to spend more time polishing the effects with this one. They can't just release footage so soon like other less cgi heavy films can do.

To a certain extent, I think that's certainly a valid point. However, I think it also could have been completely possible to get some finished stills and nearly-finished footage together earlier if they had really wanted to. The delay is at least partially a conscious decision on their part.

How long did it take before we had a Trailer for Avatar?

Oh for sure. But it is easily to forgive such a long wait for a film like this than say, Captain America 2. Or really anything where the main characters and environments don't require much CGI

So the teaser is being released in April? YAY!

Wait, that's...1..2...3...4..4 months before the movie comes out. What the--?!

Okay, I'm getting flashbacks of another movie whose first trailer came out exactly 4 months before it was set to premiere, and that was X-Men: First Class. And the reason why was because, if I remember correctly and I think I do, Fox had no faith in First Class until it proved to be successful in a surprisingly way. This is sounding more and more like this is the truth concerning Paramount (who are distributing the movie), Platinum Dunes and Nickelodeon Movies (actual producing it) and Ninja Turtles. Which I really hate because, if you have no faith in the movie you're making, or agreed to put together, money-wise, then why make it?

First class had a very late production turn around. Vaughn got that movie shot and through post in a pretty tight amount of time. No doubt leading to a late start in marketing. It also had lame posters.

Secondly, Fox cranked out a crap ton of ads for that film. They all but spoiled the entire thing. The simple truth is, if a company had an INFINITE amount of faith in some sure fire product they won't need to sell it as hard. Take that and apply it how you will.

The minute WB committed to a cgi suit for GL they damned their early trailers to unfinished ridicule(that goes for the supporting characters too). In fact it wasn't until the third trailer, the one released about 4 months before release that things started looking solid.

Similar things happened with the first Ironman spots, only they had the benefit of having lots of practical effects(mark 1) and a charismatic lead to hide behind.

Even the fully re-designed TF4 spot has spotty effects at this stage imo.

Guardians is a different animal with different demands(their cgi constructs aren't even talking in the trailer), and their poster can be sold by including the name Avengers at the top.

Paramount is being smart here. This brand recognition is an easy sell and the absolute worst thing they can do is shoot themselves in the foot by releasing a spotty trailer.

No, the point I was trying to make before you turned it into something else wax if you have NO INTEREST IN THIS MOVIE AT ALL and don't even plan to see it then why bother coming on to the movie threads and discuss it??? That shows you do have intrest no matter how loudly you yell that you don't

It's kind of like the Superman/Batman (2016) board. Some people are labeled trolls for not being positive about the production and casting.

I also saw footage of Avatar at SDCC in July. And first images were out before that.

Because they have an opinion and want to share it.

Well FWIW I think negative discussion is every bit as valid as positive. Hell, I met my wife trash-talking the Catwoman movie on this forum.

 

[Mindreaper21]

That's a long time before we get a trailer. We better get a teaser or some posters or something in March. I don't want to wait till April just to find out that the trailer is trash.

Hahaha...April is the teaser trailer from what I read

 

[NinjaTurtleFan]

They could release character posters right now or at the very least give us a better look at Shredder, Turtles, and Splinter via pictures.

 

[TigerClaw]

I just noticed that the Facebook post has disappeared. Maybe he wasn't supposed to reveal it?

That's even worse.

That's even worse.

You don't have to tell me twice

Just to try to clear up a common misconception:

Teaser trailers usually run +/- one minute and don't reveal much footage from the actual movie. Trailers run +/- two minutes and play in theaters. Extended trailers (sometimes dubbed "sneak peeks") are +/- 3.5 minutes and usually do not play in theaters expect for special promotions (i.e. Cap 2 playing with special Thor 2 showings)

Just because a trailer that drops is the first trailer for a movie doesn't automatically make it a teaser trailer. Too many people seem to think that's the case. It's not.

I just noticed that the Facebook post has disappeared. Maybe he wasn't supposed to reveal it?

Maybe he was just talking out of his a**. Who the heck is this guy anyway? I'm surprised some random producer is in step with what a studio's marketing department is doing. That's usually what exec producers are involved with.

He produced the 2007 TMNT CGI movie, So hes important.

Not necessarily. That's like saying Jon Peters is important to every Superman movie.

 

[Kal-El.9859]

This was not only a producer on the CGI animated movie but he is a producer on this movie as well

 

[Poni_Boy]

I understand that, which is why I said: I'm surprised some random producer is in step with what a studio's marketing department is doing. That's usually what exec producers are involved with.

Producers are hardly ever the first, second or third people to know what's going on with a film's production and post-production happenings (including marketing and distribution). Their job is most important getting a project off the ground. The exec producers are the ones who work with the production crew all the way through since they are the liaison between filmmakers and studios.

Again, not saying he's wrong by default. But giving the guy full 100% swing backing because of a random Facebook post that he's since removed it's the most prudent behavior. Especially for the Aha! Gotcha! I knew this movie would fail crew

 

[Kal-El.9859]

I think he let the turtle out of the bowl before the studio wNted so he deleted it
