THE WORLD NEEDS ANOTHER NINJA TURTLES MOVIE LIKE.....
by CharlesThomasMathews1978
Jews need another holocaust and another live action TMNT movie would have just about as much entertainment value. Which is none.
-
with a little "PIZZA TIME" screaming for finesse?
-
I actually think the first Ninja Turtles movie is pretty good. For what it is worth, Kevin Smith thinks it is one of the best comic adaptations. <p> The second is pretty bad what with the Ninja Rap and all. <p> The third is such a pile of shit. Late critic Joel Siegel actually had the gaul to compare it to Kurosawa. Kurosawa!
-
oh, so he's involved again. this will make 3 TMNT movies for him since he was Donatello's "stunt double" in the first and of course played the awesome and cool pizza delivery kid in part 2.
-
The first TMNT is still a favorite of mine, and the second one is also remembered fondly. Really hope the new one turns out well, and stays away from the G.I. Joe film's style.

I'm an artist, and a turtle...but sadly, not very martial...

...so close.

Some hard-on-his-luck ju-jitsu instructor goes down to try out for the role of Shredder's footsoldier, ends up getting fucked in the ass by Tim Allen. It always ends that way...
-
This TMNT better be like 300 style. Ya pecker clit.
-
I'd actually love to see a sequel to that movie. I have it on Blu Ray
-
fucking love the turtles, and whuile the 4th one was fun, i hated that it was CGI, bring on the live action version, hopefully jim henson studios does the costumes again and hopefully they make it a little more adult while still maintaining the fun for the kids
-
yeah that's right, I'm a leg-sweepin' mofo.
-
Not only does he kickass on screen, but generally a nice guy all around. I had the pleasure of meeting him at C3. <p> Besides that, isn't this franchise ready to be put out to pasture?
-
Yes i am a complete Cock Master. I have trained for many years under the tuition of Yu Cock Li in the Tibets Fuk Wang province.
-
The TMNT movie was pretty ok, with some disparity between the quality of animation for different characters, yet I thought it showed promise (and it hinted at Shredder's return). The live action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies of the early 90's were accepted by the youth of the time because CGI hadn't become the norm. Now, if kids see grown men dressed up as turtles, well there will be laughter. Probably some baseball bats as well.

Where the fuck is Cobra Kai? Shouldn't he be all over this TB?

"There's no turtle soup in this dojo"
-
You mean like, A José Canseco bat? I hope no one payed money for it. Also, practical effects can still work if given the proper care. So lets assume they won't dust off the same suits from the 80's. Maybe they'll have some moderate cg added in. Hey, Where the Wild Things Are looks pretty good from what I've seen so far and those are suits too.
-
I would love to try out, I'm gonna see if I can make this trip.

Make sure there's a good script first...........................
by crackerfarmboy
Before you go hiring 14 year old ninjas. The plot for the last film stunk. If they stick to the Mirage comics this movie can be excellent....IF!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
the first movie was good as was the the first couple of seasons of the cartoon! and dont get me started on the original comic book!
-
I can dangle from wires and do karate moves in slo-mo, which will be sped up and deftly cut together in the editing room. And sweat happily inside a rubber turtle suit for hours, although I'm guessing you'll be using motion capture, like king_of_nowhere says. I'm your man!
-
Like Ernie Reyes Jr. doesn't personally know enough martial artists to handle these roles??? Please!!! Don't even bother to show-up, the parts are already cast.

I'm going to have nightmares about this
-
wrong website to advertise this.
-
Even if you didn't like it, it still was-as Ebert put it-the best possible Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle movie. I hope they retain the gritty but fun tone of the first movie but I won't hold my breath. It will be marred by conspicuous Matrix wirework bullshit and shakey cams.

April O'Neil with goofy fake boobs sticking out of the top of her orange jumpsuit. Maybe she'll go Lea Thompson on us and blow a turtle.

Can we PLEASE have a faithful adaptation of the Eastman/Laird co
by Nasty In The Pasty
The whole late 80's "surfer dude" asthetic from the original animated series has been poisoning the concept as kiddie krap ever since. Not that I need a Dark Knight-style TMNT movie, but those original comics had a pretty impressive mixture of seriousness with humor that rose naturally from the characters and situations, instead of "PIZZA DUDE!" bullshit. Yeah, I liked the cartoon series as a kid, and enjoyed the first movie, but by the second film, I had already essentially outgrown the "kiddie" version of the Turtles. A PG-13 Turtles flick would match the original comics' level of violence while still allowing kids to see it.

T.U.R.T.L.E. Power

Starring Samuel L. Jackson as Splinter, Jack Bauer as Leonardo, Nicholas Cage as Michelangelo, Keanu Reeves as Donatello, and our Lord Bale as everyone's favorite asshole Raphael. Sceenplay by Christopher Nolan. Directed by Michael Bay.

Headline: Not only will another shitty movie come out of Hollywo
by axel fff
but your name can appear in the credits of the shitty movie. What an attractive offer.
-
The 1990 films owns so many comic-film adaptations it's sick... they perfectly blended the original comics and the cartoon into one well=acted, gritty, fun fucking film. I say they have their hands full in trying to top it.
-
I'm sorry I just meant the first 1990 film, part 2 was fun, 3 was warthog bile.
-
They should get an awesome director, from asia.
-
WHY?
-
Roll up! Roll up!
-
or go fuck yourself.
-
when i was like, fucking five
-
I remember when I went to the theater and saw The Rundown with the Rock. When Ernie Reyes showed up on the screen somebody in the back yelled KEEEEENNNNNOOO. Shit was funny as hell. I hope this means he'll make an appearance in the movie. Anybody seen Ong Bak 2? I ordered it from hkdvdstore.com for 15 bucks. Its was alright. Story sucked "Dirty Balls" Get it. Dirty Balls, hahaha whatever. Fighting is pretty sick as expected. PEACE
-
im sick of hearing about his fucking opinions on movie and why he likes comic books and what his favorite batman is and blah blah.

Does that qualify as a martial art? "Sticks Fist in Ass, what are you doing here today at this audition?" "I must have money so I can buy a burrito, my sparring partners like it when I smell of red beans & disappointment" You have got to stick around for the boss fight.

I did hear they were going for the original comic vibe
by little_lebowski
But we've ALL heard that one before.
-
I really liked the CG movie. Was it that bad to others? Why start another live-action? Man, I hated those!
-
Search your feelings! You know it to be true!
-
promised my mother i would never use it.
-
'Coz I can throw beads with the accuracy of fuckin' shuriken, bro.
-
I hope Keno gets a cameo. Regardless, his involvement is a good sign.
-
This event might be a bit of fun, but ultimately you are not going to be cast as a somebody in the movie you are going to be cast as a nobody... worse than a nobody - 'a minion'.<p> I don't think I could live with being a minion in a Turtles movie. Telling the grandkids - "That's me, look quick, see that guy in the black hood being kicked by the twat in the turtle suit. There."<p> "But granpappy, you were only onscreen for .5 of a second."<p> "I know. I know. But that is the shame that 'a minion' must live with."
-
Casey Jones and Raphael kicking ass all the way. That was an awesome comic.<br><br> And the first movie was the only movie being worth to be called Turtles movie. The Casey Jones "What are you doing to my little green buddy over there?" entrance is one of the coolest things I ever saw in a movie.
-
The CG flick wasn't bad. I was hoping for a sequel to that at least. I thought that was the best medium for this franchise. The faux-anime crap is tonally correct, but the animation blows.
-
More likely to get my money that an ALIENS or PREDATOR movie has in years. And THAT is sad.
-
KRANG, SHREDDER, BEBOP, ROCKSTEADY, ROBOT FOOTSOLDIERS, MOUSERS, ROADKILL RODNEYS, THE TECHNODROME, DIMENSION X, ROCK SOLDIERS, BAXTER STOCKMAN, AND ALL GUNS SHOOT LASERS. Fuck Yeah! If you're gonna go, go with a smile!

In front of the producers. Videotape it. Youtube it.

CGI/Live action hybrid. With JW's fighting style? that would have been awesome.<BR><BR>But yeah, bring on the Live Action Technodrome. I've been waiting to see that one eyed tank bitch tearing ass through times square since the first movie was announced.

Nasty In The Pasty, you kinda already got Eastma/Laird
by MurderMostFowl
The first TMNT movie was nearly panel for panel the origin story/shredder story. Yeah the tone was lightened a little, but far less than the cartoon was. You have to remember, the cartoon was at its peak when that movie came out... that they were able to tell the original story at all was a miracle.<BR><BR>To your point though, it would be nicer to see a more serious story line, with consequences , blood etc... I used to be solidly in your camp on this, but now I'm looking back and saying... well, TMNT isn't exactly shakespeare.... maybe going the darker route will damage the story.
-
The movie. Since time travel and alternate realities are all the rage now, just do the turtles in time thing like from the video game. NEON NIGHTRIDERS.

For the turtles, but the turtles in the future fighting all kinds of crazy shit from Dimension X would be cool.

July 14, 2009, 8:34 a.m. CST
and yes, i realize i'm probably shitting on the comic book fans
by turketron_2
by bringing up storylines from the videogames and cartoon.
-
turketron, don't corrupt the Turtles 'universe' dude.<p> The Turtles 'world building' has been a carefully crafted work of art, with a depth and subtlety that makes the Turtles, Shredder, and even the minor subsidary characters, live and breathe.<p> By bringing in storylines from the video game and cartoon you risk disturbing the space/time continuum of the Turtles universe. Why would you risk that man? Why??<p> WHYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!
-
July 14, 2009, 12:24 p.m. CST
don't make it a remake! make it a sequel to the first one!
by ironic_name
elias kotaeas! judith hoag! corey fucken feldman! <P> acknowledge that they're older and just call them "ninja turtles"!
-
You heard it here!
-
I'd buy THAT for a dollar!
-
...but I'm pretty sure I could rip someone's jaw off if I had to. <P> Does that count?
-
Either live action or animated, you gotta admit that'd be fucking cool.
-
I made a funny!
-
but they'd have to really use their weapns. Give me blood. Give me one of them turtles eviscerating The Tick. He could put his guts back into his stomach cavity with a SPOOOOOOOOON!!
-
'with a SPOOOOOOOOON!!' <p> That's nice.
-
COWABUNGA!
-
and Shedder as the main villains to deal with, along with Bebop and Rocksteady. <P> They couldn't even give us that in the original movie... 1 was about Shredder and the Foot. 2 delt with Bebop and Rocksteady wannabes, 3 was plain out fucked. In the end we never got Krang, or the Technodrome.
-
That shit makes me laugh. Not exactly James Earl Jones epic. Keith David should be the new voice of Shredder. He's got a seriously cool voice.
-
July 18th? Hey that's on my birthday. Am i thinking of auditioning? Hell no...i've got better things to do on that day or with my life than waisting my time with that crap...
-
Gotta give it props for that. And that whole ending to that ep was all kinds of fucked up. Not to mention the badass three parter that was essentially a reworking of the first movie.
-
to be built like a ninja turtle? (with the shell on backwards).
-
I made this audition video to be put in this movie. Please help me reach my dream!!! http://tinyurl.com/ygg8cns
