T-U-R-T-L-E Power! Little Turtlebits On The CG TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLE movie!

Hey folks, Harry here with an update on the TMNT movie that the Turtle guys are making! Personally, I want a film that's more in keeping with the original black & white oversized comics of old. Something that has the ferocity of the Simon Bisley painted Turtles. The idea of a CG original Eastman & Laird badass Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie... I just can't express enough how much I want to see that done. I don't dare hope for an R-rated version, but a very dark and fun PG-13 would kick ass. Here's the latest...

Hi Harry,

I wasn't sure if you had reported anything on this, but I found it off the FAQ's on the TMNT website and thought it may be a good fit somewhere on your site.

Thanks,

Jason "Red Five" Altschul

    What's going on with the fourth [TMNT] movie?


We're currently working with Imagi on a new computer animated film that we hope will be released in 2007. The entire movie will be computer animated, it is not going to be a combination of CG and live action.

    Why are you doing a CG movie? Why not live action like the first three?


Computer animation is a direction that we haven't taken the TMNT in yet, thus its potential intrigues us. CG allows us to take the Turtles to dramatically different areas than we could go with live-action. Computer animation gives us complete freedom to tell a great story, and you'll definitely see the TMNT doing things that they haven't done before in movies!
