Megan fox Interview

[TigerClaw]

Cool, I Think this would be a good thread for all Interviews with the stars from the movie, So we can expect close to release date, Stars like Megan Fox to appear on the Tonight Show or any Talk Show promoting the movie.

DAMMIT SAM you ALWAYS beat me to it :lol: You the man dude, thanks for posting, on both sites :smile:

Edit: Well for the ten thousand kids that said they are writing off the movie strictly bc April won't be a "Red head" can rest easy now and give the movie a chance
I also take Wills little comments as " yes.. there will be Krang" seriously that guy could just stand there silent and still be funny :lol: Gonna add a great element to the movie.
Hell....Yea :D


Lots of emo cons this time lol

[Radical Raph]

It's funny but the ninja turtle faces are probably more capable of expression than Megan's.

Arnett seems like the perfect Vernon.

[MastahShredder]

I've come to really like Megan after stuff like this. She seems genuine and looks like she has put a lot of effort into April.

She does... she's a person. The more I see her in interviews the more I like her. This isn't an "eye candy" role.. so this is her chance to show the world what she can do. I think shell do fine ; )

Megan fox Interview


http://www.mtv.com/videos/movies/1051414/megan-foxs-first-crush-was-a-ninja-turtle.jhtml

fun interview, nothing earth shattering, but its great just to hear from the cast. i wonder if we'll see any more that feature the mo-cap cast, but that may be a delicate situation seeing as how two of the principal cg characters voice actors got replaced.

i can only imagine how awkward it would be to broadcast a interview with Pete Ploszek, and he talks about his process of bringing Leo to life, not knowing a few months from the time of the interview he would be replaced.

[Radical Raph]

I've come to really like Megan after stuff like this. She seems genuine and looks like she has put a lot of effort into April.
I do appreciate the fact that she's a fan. And it doesn't seem like she's just saying that either. I'm definitely willing to give her a chance.

[sethmartin]

I think Will Arnett pretty much just confirmed an appearance by Krang! :lol:

[Radical Raph]

I think Will Arnett pretty much just confirmed an appearance by Krang! :lol:
You know, I'm glad that things like Krang and some of the crazier concepts seem like they could be totally plausible in this new turtles universe. I really appreciate the tone they've set up so far. It's just realistic enough without having to exclude all the other fantasy elements.

They could have easily went the Nolan Batman route with this movie, but they didn't. It seems to be embracing what most people love about the franchise.

[Puddinpop]

I think Will Arnett pretty much just confirmed an appearance by Krang! :lol:

Right? I laughed when I saw him give the interviewer that look after saying he can't talk about it. Seems like the perfect choice for a Vernon. I cant believe in less than two months I'm going to possibly see a Live Action Krang.

[zodiac brave]

nice...it IS good to have a glimpse at the leads and hear some of what they have to say. i'll watch will arnett in anything but i'm still a little leary about fox.

i could give a crap about her personally and yeah, i think she's pretty, but i truly am a little concerned about what her performance might yield. i really dont think she's ever impressed me in the slightest as an actor.

i know a lot of people think she was really good in this is 40 and sometimes point that out as a career performance high, but i dont see it. she kinda came off as wooden and forced, but whatev.

hopefully, shes decent enough in this! :D

lol. emphasis on the POSSIBLY! if they do bring in krang (and i do think that would be dope), i have a feeling it'll be more easter egg-ish, or hint-like that would maybe set him/them up as a future plot point in whatever possible sequels may or may not arise.

oops! sorry bout the double-post...fixed it!

Has there been interviews with the four guys that play the turtles?

[MastahShredder]

Or she's just a good talker.

I believe her. She's about that age where the OT was in it's prime and the original film was released. I don't think she is a die-hard but at least she respects, and tries her best to make the character work.

[MastahShredder]

Why do you guys think the tower from the building falling apart, all the police, the people running like there is something huge in the middle of Times Square..I bet the ground starts to shake and hello Technodrome. Now that would be awesome.

[Puddinpop]

Agreed man.. id be satisfied even if it were an after credit reveal lol.

Edit for Sewer. I always thought that Tower falling was the Foot/Shredder cutting channel six's ability to broadcast news to the city. Like maybe taking them off the air and enforcing some kind of control over the city. Like Martial law in a way

yeah, but nowadays theres social media n cell phones.

True... and she waaaaass using her cell phone in the trailer to record what was happening in the subway. Hmmm... I hope it is the Technodrome... Id def. welcome that outcome

[graphic_content]

i think its funny that when asked about how much time would be spent in the sewers...WILL ARNETT responded by saying, [there is time in the sewers, time in the lair] :lol: if they lair is in the sewers, arent they one and the same locale, essentially?

i am attempting to scour the internet for more interviews, but everything recent featuring Will Arnett, and co. have been for other projects, ie. the Lego movie.

i could not be more stoked for this film, and i am foaming at the mouth for more stuff. namely footage, but i love me a good interview too.

I guess it's been confirmed that they live in China town.. Like in the comics.
Maybe there are different compartments/tunnels of the sewers shown in the movie.
Yea it was a great interview I agree. It made me want to watch some Will Arnett stuff.
I think this month and next month well get more interviews. Cant wait either :D

I personally would recommend looking at William's interviews again, knowing what we know now. You can sort of piece it together a bit.

They were obviously from back in 2013, so I added that information. I posted them for new users who had never seen them before.

[Leolead]

Really wonder why there hasn't been any interviews with the guys playing the turtles? the main characters.:-?

[ranger_scout]

Really wonder why there hasn't been any interviews with the guys playing the turtles? the main characters.:-?

Yes, it's strange that there have been more interviews with Fox, Arnett, and Fichtner and so far I've only found two interviews with two of the actors who play the turtles, Alan Ritchson (Raphael) and Noel Fisher (Michelangelo), where they actually talk about the film. Johnny Knoxville's interview was only about the former Bay & Fox feud.

And here's another interview with Arnett where also talks about The Lego Movie.

I didn't mean it as a slight. I liked that you posted them. I said I recommend everyone to listen to William's interview knowing what we know today, that we did not when it was first released. There is a few pieces to the Shredder puzzle in them.

[Netkeeper]

Because Michael Bay doesn't care about non-human main characters, just look at Transformers!

[d_osborn]

Yes, it's strange that there have been more interviews with Fox, Arnett, and Fichtner
Fox, Arnett, and Finchtner all have larger careers than the guys playing the turtles. They work more, therefore do more interviews.

[TrickOrTreater]

Because Michael Bay doesn't care about non-human main characters, just look at Transformers!

http://i.imgur.com/GTRWJSJ.png

[chrisdude]

Because no one is actually being interviewed about TMNT yet.

Fichtner, Fox and Arnett just get these stray questions thrown at them while they're doing press for other projects. The same thing happens to the Fisher and Ritchson, you just don't see it because their projects are smaller, and their interviews don't get attention.

[TurtleTitan97]

What comic series do they live beneath Chinatown?

As far as I'm aware, none of the comics have shown them to live in Chinatown.

[Casey]

I think Will Arnett pretty much just confirmed an appearance by Krang! :lol:

I was about to call that. Probably more Utrom-ish and/or Ch'rell, but still.

Here is an interview Ritchson did back in November 2013 around the time The Hunger Games: Catching Fire was released.

http://www.movieweb.com/news/alan-ritchson-talks-raphael-in-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles

[pennydreadful]

Well, to Fox's credit, she came across as much more personable in that interview than in any role I've seen her in. And I must admit that as April never had red hair in the original comics, getting worked up over Fox's hair not really looking red was always a bit of a bridge too far for me.

That said, I can only cut her minimal slack for being a fan - I mean, it's nice when actors are fans of franchises that they get to work on, but in this particular instance, it just doesn't cut it. I'm a fan - but that doesn't mean that I'd be in any way appropriate for casting... and I think it's safe to say that I've got just as much acting talent as Fox (which is to say, I did drama in high school and I stank at it). I can't act... but I can wrinkle my forehead, so I think I'm ahead of the game.

Her acting ability (or lack thereof) and her apparent fondness for Botox aside, the number one thing that rubbed me the wrong way from the get-go about her being cast was that she was cast because of who she was, and the money she would make for the movie - not for what she would bring to the role. I know that it's a movie's job to make money, I know that. But casting Fox was just such a blatantly cynical attempt to replicate the asses-in-seats numbers that Transformers had.

And that right there is the issue. If I want to see a generic blockbuster with action and babes, there are dozens of them out every year. I like explosions and hot bodies on screen just as much as anybody. But for a live-action Turtles movie, I have much higher expectations. I don't want an action movie with Turtles - I want a Turtles movie with action. There's a distinction between the two.

I can only speculate as to whether other people's dissatisfaction with her casting is for those reasons - but by god, if she could take some of the charm that she had in that interview and inject it into her role in this movie, I'd be a lot further down the road to being won over.

[TrickOrTreater]

I can't act... but I can wrinkle my forehead, so I think I'm ahead of the game.

Oh snap.

And I agree with everything else you said.

[Puddinpop]

As far as I'm aware, none of the comics have shown them to live in Chinatown.

In the next mutation TV show and in the novel shadows over Chinatown. No?

[TurtleTitan97]

Okay...but those aren't comics.

I'm fairly certain only Venus ever lived in Chinatown, unless I'm mistaken.

[Galactus]

In the next mutation TV show and in the novel shadows over Chinatown. No?

Also Next Mutation is not something I feel the need to regularly re-watch but the lair never seemed to be in China Town. That's were Venus washed up.

I don't remember much about Shadows Over Chinatown so correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think the lair was under Chinatown either. It was set in the 4Kids universe and certainly neither of the lairs the had in the show were there.

[Powder]

I'm fairly certain only Venus ever lived in Chinatown, unless I'm mistaken.

Nah, she lived in China.

Some of it, otherwise I disagree. We all know the story, give us some hints.

[Le Glorieux Tortue]

The interview seemed a dumb guy a bit. What was the question about beautiful girls wanting a guy that's funny then when they get it want a guy with looks instead? Very dumb and irrelevant and a bit sexist I think. Not good. I never cared for Megan Fox but she seems like a cool lady now that I seen this.

"It will be a new way to tell this story," says William Fichtner

William Fichtner quickly spoke Reviewer.fr of Ninja Turtles . There will embody the sworn enemy of the Ninja Turtles , under the direction of Liebesman. "Oh, I had fun playing Shredder", ensures the actor.

"Michael Bay product and I worked with him a few times. From the start I knew it would be an incredible thing. I can not wait to see it! So far, I have not seen anything from a few pieces studio to repeat certain passages. But it seems obvious when looking at the trailer it will be a new way to tell this story. "

>>> Ninja Turtles: Donatello and Raphael arrive in the second trailer

And he said he was not bothered by the many special effects used in the film, in particular to give life to Turtles. "I've handled it in the past. The only thing was to look at the guys who play the Ninja Turtles in their combinations for motion capture. And I have a feeling it will be very homogeneous on the screen " .

On potential suites, William Fichtner ensures that the production "will have to wait and see how the first. We'll see after work!" And no way to make him spill the beans on the origin of the Ninja Turtles in the script, even if the rumor for months that ensures Shredder would be involved in creating these very special beings: "Look, if I tell you, they'll kill me! "

[marcelangelo]

they wouldn't off him, he signed for 3 pictures, right?;)

[Galactus]

Listening to that Megan Fox interview I really hope the interviewer is making a big assumption that this is a "family friendly" movie with yard stick of Transformers being "teen plus" especially with Megan Fox herself agreeing with his assessment.

Maybe it's in reference to how Megan herself is being used as actress in comparison to how she was used in Transformers but still worrisome.

Y5b3s8YE9OQ Extra interview
Another good Interview, Though talking about the same stuff. I just posted it on Twitter.

[TigerClaw]

According to the Guide on my Tivo, Johnny Knoxville is on Jimmy Kimmel Live tonight, But I noticed it says First Air: 5/20/14. So its a rerun.

[Puddinpop]

Y5b3s8YE9OQ Extra interview

I'm happy for her.. I think I could get used to her playing O'Neil.

[Puddinpop]

Dude, she's perfect. She's actually underrated as an actress. She got cast in 2007 because she was naturally gorgeous, but her chops have developed in each film I've seen her in ... particularly Jennifer's Body.

Wish she didn't get all that plastic surgery on her face, she was so naturally pretty before. But, the insecurities, and preservation of one's physical appearance is critical in Hollywood.

Anyway, forget the haters. She's my age, it's nice to knew she grew up with the Wolf Toon, and original trilogy. Megan is a fan at heart, clearly. A very deserving actress to portray April on screen.

Yea I hear ya.. Every time I watch an interview with her I get more and more comfortable with her being April.. I think she's gonna kill it

[beeshaw]

She also seems to be carrying herself differently these days. I guess she's grown up quite a bit in the last few years. I think she'll do fine!

still wish danny woodburn was taking voice and mocap

[pennydreadful]

Well he seemed to have a good sense of humor in the interview at least. It's terrible watching stilted interviews where nobody seems to really know what to say.

[LeotheLateBloomer]

I do appreciate the fact that she's a fan. And it doesn't seem like she's just saying that either. I'm definitely willing to give her a chance.

As will I. I never understood the hate for her. She's not amazing I'll admit but if she's excited to be working on a film based on a franchise that she holds dear to her heart and is willing to give it her all, then this may be the best performance we may see out of her.

You know, I'm glad that things like Krang and some of the crazier concepts seem like they could be totally plausible in this new turtles universe. I really appreciate the tone they've set up so far. It's just realistic enough without having to exclude all the other fantasy elements.

They could have easily went the Nolan Batman route with this movie, but they didn't. It seems to be embracing what most people love about the franchise.

Speaking of which, how would you guys react if they were to do a Nolan based movie on the turtles?

[graphic_content]

Speaking of which, how would you guys react if they were to do a Nolan based movie on the turtles?

While I'm happy with what we are getting this August, when Turtles was first announced, a more Nolan-esque type film was what I was hoping for.

Something along the lines of the "49th Street Stompers" (my favorite storyline), where the Turtles were just being ninjas, and they left all the crazy sci-fi, minus their origin, at the door.

[pennydreadful]

Speaking of which, how would you guys react if they were to do a Nolan based movie on the turtles?

Probably the way I reacted about Bay being involved with this movie - I'm not a fan of either Bay or Nolan as filmmakers. I know I'll probably be burned at the stake for saying that! :ohwell:

That feel. The only Johnny Knoxville news tidbit I could find was TMZ asking him about the feud between Fox & Bay. They catch him on the sidewalk with cameras, put TMNT in the article title, yet THAT is what they ask him about. He didn't know it was even a thing. Jesus.

It's absolutely ridiculous.. I can't count the amount of interviews so far where the interviewer asks the most vague.. uninteresting unimportant crap questions.
With Megan it's all about her being pregnant and her feud with Bay.. EVEN KNOXVILLE got that question lol.. what does he know or care.. and his last talk show interview was all Bad Grandpa .5 " which was pretty damn funny". The interview above with Evan? All Snow White talk.. as far as I know.. ONE HOUR and not one question regarding TMNT.. his next major project. Maybe its just not time..

But on a lighter note.. I think the more informative interviews are on the way. I just keep reminding myself that things are going to only pick up from here. Esp. after Transformers.

I seriously cant believe I just sit through that whole video and not once did they talk about tmnt....you should really put a warning lable on videos like that bro.....

[chrisdude]

Again, 95% of this stuff is from press and appearances for other movies. With the exception of one Extra Megan Fox interview, people aren't doing press for this movie, yet. These questions get lobbed at them just because they're in front of a camera. It's not fair to criticize them for not asking enough about TMNT.

[Zulithe]

I seriously cant believe I just sit through that whole video and not once did they talk about tmnt....you should really put a warning lable on videos like that bro.....

Same. I watched large chunks of it, then started FFing for the TMNT parts... nowhere to be found. Pretty disappointing.

[TigerClaw]

P: Tell us about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. How was it filming while pregnant?

MF: I constantly had a big box of saltine crackers with me wherever I went. So in between takes I would scurry away and shove a bunch of saltines in my mouth to keep me from being nauseous.

P: Your character, April, is a confident woman, and you yourself are also very strong. Do you have any confidence tips for young girls?

MF: You know it’s hard growing up. I’ve always been someone who’s been really assertive and willful and that’s just something I was born with, but I had to learn how to temper that and focus it in the correct direction because it was sort of becoming a detriment. I wasn’t using it correctly. You have to trust yourself. The idea of being really intuitive and listening to your own conscious and listening to—I’m sort of a spiritual hippy so I don’t want to be off-putting but—you gotta listen to your higher self and trust that you know what is right. Be prepared to maybe lose friends or lose relationships. Be prepared to maybe make some people upset and that’s ok as long as you’re pursuing what you really believe is right and correct and true.

Here is an interview that Alan Ritchson did about a month ago.

http://www.blankmaninc.com/alan-ritchson-interview/

Turtle related parts:

BMi: Speaking of huge movies… you are starring as Raphael in the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. The Turtles fanbase is rabid and they’ve been skeptical of the film ever since it was first announced. What can you tell fans to let them know everything is going to be alright?

AR: From the early leaked scripts, where it’s like an alien generation of this story less true to the origin story, and people thinking the entire time that that’s what this film is going to be about…has sort of been on the forefront of my mind while we’re working on this. The internet’s a dangerous place because people believe what they read and they cling to it as truth and they can assault you with that as if it were real. It’s been frustrating in the sense that people are already dogging the movie and they’ve been dogging it before it was in production. They’ve already written it off as a Michael Bay failure but what people don’t know is that this story is actually really great. Having grown up with it myself, I think we’ve honored the origin story and those diehard fans that want to see the best of what the turtles have to offer. It has been incredible to see the attention this film has been getting. I think we set a record for trailer views the first week the trailer was released. Thirty one million views in a week just for the trailer. People want to see the turtles, they want to see what they look like and they want to see that world.

Another thing, once that trailer was released a lot of people were unhappy with the way that they looked, complaining that they didn’t look like the turtles in the tmnt 2014(1990) film or from the comics. They’re more kind of a humanized version. I can say that I’m pretty certain that there’s a really good reason that they look the way they do and in order for us to really bring the turtles to life with the technology that we have in a way that’s never been done before, which is trying to capture the nuances of a human performance, and copy and paste that onto a turtle there was no other way than to humanize their face a little bit because a traditional turtle’s mouth couldn’t be translated into that human DNA. There’s no way to make that performance translate and what we’re trying to do is to create a truer more real life performance. The look has to do with the fact that we’re trying to get the most nuanced human performance possible which is what somebody is going to relate to when they feel like these guys are a living, breathing thing. I think people, once they connect with these characters and they see how real that experience is, I think all will be forgiven. Honestly, I’m proud of the product that’s being put out there. I think it’s going to be a lot of fun and I think a lot of people are really going to enjoy it.

BMi: Raphael was a huge part of the original 1990 film’s plot because he really did have the most character development in that film. What do you think has been the biggest difference between that character and your portrayal?

AR: In a lot of ways it’s still the same character. He’s still the angry hothead who’d rather take action than think about the implications of that action so in a lot of ways we’re still telling a lot of the same story. I think what we tried to do was to reach deeper and find other layers to these characters so they’re not so “one note”. I think in the past everybody sort of plays a caricature, like one dimension of humanity in a sense. I just think that the individuality and the depth of Raph and the turtles in this story is much, much richer. That’s something that we as actors focused on and I think it’s supported by the technology that’s helping to bring that story to life and the script that we ended up working with ultimately. It’s still a fun action/adventure movie but there’s a lot of heart and truth to the character that I think hasn’t really been expressed on film before.

So nothing new. lol

You know.. I am really getting sick of these interviewers.. not ONE question about TMNT!
Did I miss something?

Here's one where he actually talks about it back in November. He mentions what a massive fan he was of the cartoon and he had all the toys. If there is anything interesting it's from 4:25 to 7:01.

Interesting, Makes me wonder if we'll hear those Inception Horn sounds in the new trailer. Usually when you see stuff in trailer that makes things look bleak, You hear those inception horns. Not that the film will be bleak.

Here are the parts about the movie.
A young fan asked how Eastman responds to all the internet pandemonium and madness related to the new film, with criticism and prediction of its quality and success. Eastman said to some extent they’ve always dealt with this. Early on, they were called sell-outs in the comics community for doing a “stupid kids series”, and Eastman always felt like “It was our decision, our characters”. Once you had fans of both the animated series and the black and white series, when they did the first movie, cartoon fans didn’t like the look of the “scary” turtles. They are used to being afraid of being “crucified” for “ruining peoples’ childhoods”.

Eastman worked on the design of the new movie, has a cameo, and worked on the script. He thinks viewers will find it’s a lot better than what they expect it will be do, doing something “new”. If not, after August 8th, he’ll go find a hole in the ground, he joked.

A fan asked how Eastman feels about having Michael Bay on the film with all the “explosions” that will inevitably happen, but Eastman feels that it’s likely to be “lots of explosions and also good story”.

[MastahShredder]

Yeah, Technodrome makes sense as to why it looks like there is an earthquake in the middle of NYC with people running for their lives and looking high into the sky.

Can't wait!!!

Considering the time frame of that interview then I'd say that's likely.

They talk about a trailer for the second season of the Nick show with a debut of Ice Cream Kitty so it's definitely old.

Not really he has been doing interviews for some time and mentions his Cameo as Icecream kitty.

[graphic_content]

Am I missing something? Where in this interview does it hint at the Technodrome, just because the author interpreted the footage as 'post-apocalyptic'? Which btw is being mis-used here...the Avengers was set in modern day, with an Alien invasion...in modern New York, was that Post Apocalytic? The Dark World? The Winter Soldier? Transformer 4? ASM2? Sure, all these films have large scale battles that have widespread effects, but I'd hardly consider them post-apocalyptic. The only one that actually classifies properly would be XMen: DOFP. That's it.

Do you all remember when the writers tried to describe the very first footage of the Turtles from the Las Vegas CinemaCon...and they did a piss poor job of it, yeah, I believe that's what's happening here, especially because after reading that article I thought, this author has no right to be writing for a living. A shoddy job, at best. It was disjointed, and...oh whatever. Rant done.

No one said anything about the Technodrome. We're just having fun speculating.

[graphic_content]

nothing wrong with speculating, its basically what these boards are for at this point since we dont have any concrete plot points to discuss, but the reason I thought i missed something was because the original poster of the article went out of his way to spoiler tag the 'technodrome'...why do that if its only him speculating, so i thought it was 'real'.

ah well. :ohwell:

...anyone wishing there was an interview with Brian Tyler released? im really pumped to hear the new theme.

If they showed the trailer at Heroes Con, It would be nice if someone who attended there, Posted a detailed description of the trailer. That's if what they showed was Trailer 4.

Megan vs Pedestrians

Fox says she was yelled at for “hindering their commute” while she shot Michael Bay’s “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.”

“It’s like, we’re working, too,” Fox lamented on the Paramount film’s set.

“We’re making a movie right now. You’re in it. Go see yourself in August. You’re a pleasure.”

[pennydreadful]

... bet they weren't game to yell at Raph though. :tlol:

[graphic_content]

I gotta say tho, if I didn't care anything about the Turtles, I would have been more upset than excited. The set videos on YouTube clearly show them taking up big sections of real estate in the middle of NYC...great for tourists, not so much the people that live there.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Writer Says the Film Is Really Light and Fun,


A common criticism of the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles trailer, released yesterday, is that looks a lot darker than what most fans of the original “cowabunga!”-filled Saturday morning cartoon expected, both tonally and visually. Another criticism: That it looks like a generic Hollywood blockbuster, all the charm of the original leeched out of it. A third: That it just looks bad. In an interview with Coming Soon screenwriter André Nemec talked about the first criticism, though not the second or third. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles isn’t dark! It’s a light, fun movie! A light, fun movie where buildings collapse and everything is shadowy and the turtles look like they were spat forth from some fiery hellscape.

Take your kids!


“Tone was a very interesting question on this movie as far as how dark we really wanted to go. It’s really all in the conflict between the characters. That was the driving principle,” says Nemec:

“The color palettes that were chosen were not designed to be Dark Knight-ish in that regard. We weren’t looking to make that movie. I’m a huge fan of that movie, but I didn’t eat gobs of popcorn while I was watching that movie. We certainly didn’t want kids to be running for the exits. ‘Mommy! Why did he do that?!’ We weren’t looking for that. We really wanted to entertain and have fun with it. I think we skate — we live — on a very fun line in this movie, whether it’s the action feeling real and exciting, but also fun and adventurous. It really never feels dark in a way that would startle you out of your chair or make you fearful.”
He added that growing up the Turtles were always just “fun to watch. I’m hard-pressed to remember a time when I’ve seen anything Turtle-related that didn’t put a smile on my face when I was watching it.”

So: Happy good times, at least according to Nemec. It certainly wouldn’t be the first time a trailer misrepresented a movie. Gritty reboots are so hot right now; maybe the Paramount Marketing team just threw something ~~dark~~ and ~~mysterious-looking~~~ together for maximum impact, and the next trailer will be all about pizza and ’80s slang and ridiculous inventions and fanservice.

Then again, the screenwriter isn’t the only one who has a say in how the movie turns out. Nemec notes that the film has “Michael Bay aesthetics,” Bay being the producer of the film, which indicates to me that we’re looking at explosions and property destruction out the wazzoo. And the director is Jonathan Liebesman, who directed the gritty alien invasion drama Battle Los Angeles and Wrath of the Titans, which was ridiculous, but not intentionally so. I’m not sure I’m entirely confident in his ability to deliver a pizza with extra cheese.

Nemec also revealed his influence for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles—buddy cop movies like Lethal Weapon, which seems to me like he’s barking up the right tree—and spoke about his reason for changing the Turtles’ origin story. Specifically, in this new movie Shredder and April’s father were responsible for creating the Turtles. (Our buds at Geekosystem take an optimistic approach here.) “You guys all show up and you all know the story,” says Nemec:

“To show up and know the story when you’re walking into a movie — as much fun as it is to be beholden to the stuff that came before — it’s sort of no fun for the people that will think, ‘Oh yeah, I saw this movie before’ or ‘Oh yeah, I read the comic of this movie.’ We wanted to make sure that we were adding elements that at least added some sense of unity. That could take you on the journey and not make you feel like it was a road that you already traveled down.”
Whether Shredder was specifically written as a white dude or whether it was someone else’s call to whitewash him: Not addressed.



Hmmm.. If one of them claimed to be a fan, then how could he and that other guy come up with something as terrible as the bluedoor script?

And paramount is one of the worst marketing teams i've ever seen



Nothing about this film makes sense..

I believe I read about that way before, That is from an interview back in March.

[graphic_content]

WILL ARNETT - an old interview that aired on television back in March of this year. He was on the TODAY SHOW, for a segment called 'Today's Throwback':

- he brought a pizza on set
- he talked about how Vernon is a professional cameraman who has SEEN IT ALL, and COMES BACK TO NY to settle into a quiet normal job

Im posting this now, because I've never seen the full interview posted here, nor was it an easy find on youtube, because ppl only ever posted clips...not asking for a medal or anything, just saying why I'm doing, what I'm doing...

Good find, graphic!

I think that's an old Nemec interview; I remember being annoyed by his use of the phrase "gobs of popcorn" and thinking that a buddy cop dynamic wasn't exactly the first thing that jumped into my mind when I thought of the Turtles. :lol:

But hey, only five more weeks to go til the movie's out and we won't have to speculate anymore. :)

thank you ::tips hat::

and yes, I cannot wait - honestly, im done waiting on new trailers, footage shown on NICK, etc. I just want to see this movie already. C'mon August 08th!

[chrisdude]

I wish I had a good idea of the tone, because it really has been a flurry of mixed signals. Every time someone opens their mouth about this movie, it just gets more confusing.

But from the trailers, it looks fun. I like that the trailers focus in humor, at least as much as action. Despite the colors, I don't get a "dark" or "gritty" vibe.

TMNT: Megan Fox On The Fan Reaction To Her Playing 'April'

http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/notyetamovie/news/?a=103712

So, we've seen the set pics, the stills and the trailers -- have you guys accepted Megan Fox in the role of April O'Neil yet? The actress herself is very aware of the backlash that comes along with making a new version of any beloved property, and while speaking to MTV she says she thinks that fans will ultimately be pleased with the end product.

“Someone’s always going to be upset about something. When you’re [making] a movie like this and making it live-action, there are things where you’ll have to depart from the original material a little bit. People will be disappointed, but I think people will be overwhelmed with how exciting and amazing and how fresh and how true to the original this is — but you can’t please everyone all the time.”

[TigerClaw]

Since were 3 weeks away from the release of the new film, We need to keep an eye out for any appearances in Talk shows, with the all the actors. Whether they be on the Morning Shows or Late Night Shows. Cause you never know, They could end up showing a clip from the movie.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdQHD6EfN-8

We already have a thread...

[Casey]

We already have a thread...

This thread is made to contain all the official movie interviews. That's the title of it. Everything should be compiled in here. That's why it exists. In all honesty, making a new thread for every piece of information is pretty annoying and clogs the forum with the same arguments from the same people over and over.

[A_Little_Too_Raph.9859]

meh...I think comments about one interview can get lost in in the mess of other conversations about other interviews. I've always liked to have separate threads for each actor giving interviews to where you can keep it managed better

I hope we have some sneaky people in attendance

[Radical Raph]

Yeah, I was online and saw someone asking, "Is pizza in the movie?" You'll see the world's most operatic pizza scene committed to CGI.

And there you have it, pizza is confirmed!

5. You’ll get to see how the Turtles became martial arts experts. The TMNT producer reveals, “There’s a big training sequence in the movie where you see them grow up when they’re 10 years old and you see them learning their weapons and their craft and each one, that’s what they are, experts.”

This is wonderful! :tgrin:

I was always baffled as to how the previous movies could miss such a detrimental part of the TMNT Story. How they got to where they are is important if they want the audience to relate to the characters, that's why (with the exception of TMNT 2007) I couldn't give 2 sh!ts about the turtles or their 'struggles' in the previous films.

They're Ninjas for crying out loud, they're the people who endure so shouldn't we get to see the part where they...you know, endure?

Definitely much longer than the first movie toddler turtles.

I bet we will see them training as kids for a bit, And then it fast forwards a few years later when they are teens, and earning there weapons, Like what you see below.

That's fair to say and I see your point, but it still needs to be archived here. Otherwise why have this thread at all? It's not "All of the official interviews that don't get their own thread thread."

[bmxbandit]

wasn't exactly sure where to post this but i was watching spike tv and they were advertising the Bellator MMA fight coming up this Friday 7/25 at 9:00 and said there would be an exclusive look at the movie during this. just wanted to give everyone a heads up to set their DVRs.

Has anyone seen this before??

“I remember, after the first trailer had just dropped , the FX guys at ILM (Industrial Light and Magic) were so glum at some of the online reaction to the Turtle faces. People don’t realise the time and energy that go into how a film looks or how a character is animated. These guys at ILM are bigger Turtle fans than most people will ever be, and they’ve tried more versions of the final look than anyone will ever know… They’ve tried the big noses and they don’t work, they just look ridiculous when they try and talk- it looks like a cartoon! It worked in 1990, but it just doesn’t today, not when it’s got to look real. And it’s funny how the public reaction to the Turtles’ new appearance mirrors exactly what the characters deal with in the film. They’re mutants who aren’t accepted by the world for how they look- you really have to love the irony!"

He's not wrong though

[beeshaw]

At very least that's confirmation they TRIED the more traditional look.

I'm fine with the current/new designs, but I'm a sucker for behind the scenes stuff. Especially concept art, design process and the like. I'm really hoping an in depth design featurette pops up at some point. The longer the better, I don't want a fluff piece.

[xChri5x]

I think the faces are fine. The only thing I'd change is the shell size.

There are some people on imdb claiming that they saw some test screenings.

From what there saying, the movie has surpassed their expectations. I don't know how legit this is though.

Edit: They are also claiming that the movie was "great", so I guess it raised my exceptions just a little bit. But I still fear that this film may disappoint me.

CrushSoda did a promotion where you could win a free screening, and invite 250 guests. They awarded this to 3 winners, and the content rules stated that the screening would happen before the August 08th States release.

So with this in mind, Im guessing its possible, but seeing as how the producer, Andrew Form, went on record last week saying they were still 10 days out from being completely finished, if anyone has seen anything, its definitely incomplete.

[Galactus]

He's not wrong though

Is he?

Talking how bad their designs are (overall not just the faces) I've prefaced a lot of my posts by saying I respect all the hard work and sweat and toil that has gone into making them but the point still stands what they were aiming for was just ill thought out that the results were never going to be pleasing to look out.

I would like to think that professionals would have a harder skin to handle criticisms. Maybe being ILM they are unaccustomed to criticism or maybe it hit a nerve with them.

The idea that the turtles aren't respected by the world is an intriguing theme for the movie but it's not like they are the X-Men were they want to prove themselves to the world which is what we keep getting hints at.

[TigerClaw]

Anyways, It looks like we cant watch anything from ET Canada here in the US, I tried using one of those Proxies, But Still get the message about the location.

Oh, Just noticed another post in there.

[TigerClaw]

there's another post with this.
Believe it or not. I have an acquaintance who is involved with a movie theater group (like an actual board with investors) and we were invited to catch a screening.

Where to start? The movie was so much fun! I am a huge turtles fan, so I was going to dig it anyway, regardless of the usual "bayisms", but I have to say it exceeded my expectations.

I can't post a review until release or give anything away really for a couple weeks. Had to sign an agreement until the review embargo lifts.

All I can say is that, whether you believe it or not, I don't care. This movie was freakin radical.

Also...Raphael. OMG Raphael has some incredible scenes. All I'll say.

Can't wait for all of my fellow turtles fans to check it out too! Hope you will dig it as much as I did!

[Xiewin]

there's another post with this.

Where are all these test screenings coming from? Anyways, the other guy posted some major spoilers.

[TigerClaw]

Here's the post I couldnt read and viewable in the mobile version here.
http://m.imdb.com/title/tt1291150/board/threads/232522735/

Looks like the film will have an End Credit scene.
Baxter Stockman sitting on a chair in a lab working with a pig and a rhino.
The Krang was mentioned several times in TCRI.
Yes, Shredder blew up the lair and a few boulders fell on top of Splinter, it was an emotional scene, hard to watch Raphael's reaction, it was very very sad.

I have a hard time believing...

They'd really kill of Splinter

While a huge deviation I'd kinda respect the balls they'd have to that but I don't see it happening. On the other hand (sadly) it's more likely we'll see this happen...

the turtles being revealed to world. This is one trope of the 80s show that really should remain there

It doesn't sound at all like it's at all faithful to any version though thankfully I'm not convinced that guy is on the level. He says to discuss it due to Non Disclosure Agreement but then makes several posts confirming and denying things all kinds of plot points.

I can't say I'm surprised about this if it's true. I trust Andre Nemec in this video when gave an answer at 4:27 to the question that was given at 4:20 more than William Fichtner, who did not seem to get his information right during his first interviews about the film.

Don't kill of Splinter

[TigerClaw]

Exactly, Splinter is the father figure, The Turtles while they are Teenagers, Heavily rely on him, They can't survive on the world themselves without someone to guide them.

[A_Little_Too_Raph.9859]

They need Splinter. So I'm calling BS on that review

[Galactus]

I don't want to see Splinter killed off unless it was the last movie in a series but like I said I would respect the balls they'd have to do it. It would be the ultimate "F you. This is OUR version not ur crappy cartoons and comic books" move.

The whole aliens thing was just stupidly and probably lack of any knowledge of the franchise or drive to bother to look it up but killing Splinter would be very deliberate for a movie they're trying to convince us is still true to TMNT we know.

[Xiewin]

Wait, Where does it say they killed off Splinter??

[A_Little_Too_Raph.9859]

Wait, Where does it say they killed off Splinter??

This guy who claims he saw the movie says that a bunch of huge boulders fell on Splinter. I didn't see him say that the boulders killed Splinter but that's the assumption

[ranger_scout]

Wait, Where does it say they killed off Splinter??

I don't see that either. The Question was:

Does Splinter survive?

The answer was:

YES, Shredder blew up the lair and a few boulders fell on top of Splinter, it was an emotional scene, hard to watch Raphael's reaction, it was very very sad.

[TigerClaw]

I don't see that either. The Question was:

Does Splinter survive?

YES, Shredder blew up the lair and a few boulders fell on top of Splinter, it was an emotional scene, hard to watch Raphael's reaction, it was very very sad.
Ok, so clearly Splinter survives the Attack at the Lair.

I must have misread that or didn't see the yes part one...

[TigerClaw]

I must have misread that or didn't see the yes part one...
As for the scene being emotional, Its probably Raph being afraid of being alone without his Brothers.

[Galactus]

Ok, so clearly Splinter survives the Attack at the Lair.

He answers "yes" but admittedly it's hard to distinguish with the guy's writing style but I think if he survived he'd clarify it and add "but he definitely survives".

I'd say there are some things that are plausible (Saki getting 10 minutes of screentime) but others that seem unlikely (Splinter dyring) or just plain weird (turtles are exposed to the world while hiding in lodge).

Unless April did the story about them and it got exposed to the World, But hiding there identity.

[TigerClaw]

What he says about the Shredder.
Erich Sachs is NOT the Shredder, but Oroku Saki is. Splinter was still Hamato Yoshi until Oroku Saki killed Hamato's wife because of jealousy.
Sounds like the Nick Shredder.

Also this.
The turtles escaped in the middle of the night when everyone in the lab was gone. They accidentally met up with Hamato.

Is that the Nick Turtles origin?
The Nick Shredder is pissed with Hamato Yoshi over a women, Shredder accidentally kills her instead of Hamato Yoshi in the past.

Right now I asked the dude if Splinter is Hamato Yoshi, How does he turn into a rat and I also mention about the origin that I read about movie Splinter recently.

[A_Little_Too_Raph.9859]

The Nick Shredder is pissed with Hamato Yoshi over a women, Shredder accidentally kills her instead of Hamato Yoshi in the past.

What about the Turtles?

[TigerClaw]

What about the Turtles?
in the nick series, The Turtles origin is the same, Hamato Yoshi as a human in the Sewers and finding the broken canister of Mutagen and the 4 baby turtles.

People don’t realise the time and energy that go into how a film looks or how a character is animated. These guys at ILM are bigger Turtle fans than most people will ever be, and they’ve tried more versions of the final look than anyone will ever know… They’ve tried the big noses and they don’t work, they just look ridiculous when they try and talk- it looks like a cartoon!

And, what happens if this movie disappoints at the box office because the money paying audience doesn't agree or like the looks of the Turtles? They work hard of their money too, why should they plop it down for something they may not like the looks of? Just saying, it's a double edge sword. Perhaps they should have done two screen tests, one with the current faces, and one with the faces people are more familiar with, and see which one the audience seemed to prefer.

I don't think that would work.

[Warhorse]

I don't think that would work.

Why not? They do it all the time, and movies had been completely re-shot and re-edited due to screen reactions. I just don't think this movie is going to be as big as it could be, and it's coming down to the fact they made the Turtles kind of ugly. We live in a superficial time. I really think their decisions is going to hurt the movie more than help.

Heck, the ILM guys are all upset about their faces not being accepted by many, what about the poor actors who worked their butts off to play Splinter and Leo and then poof, their hard work out the door just so they could get more familiar voices in instead. I think that's a bigger kick in the gut then people not liking the looks of the Turtles.

[TigerClaw]

Here's another thing the person mention that I thought was interesting. This in regards to a scene where April is with Raph in disguise in public.
April took Raph on a walk for educational purposes such as human customs.

Yeah I agree with that, changing the turtles faces will really hurt the movie in the end. It's one of the reasons why I think this movie may bomb. But I can see why they didn't use the traditional ones, it just looks way too fake and off.

Here's another thing the person mention that I thought was interesting. This in regards to a scene where April is with Raph in disguise in public.

The guy was trolling.

I just don't know what to think. I never really seen something like this before. I honestly do think that the aesthetics would work just fine if it wasn't for all of the damn clothing. Now that they did not need to stick on the Turtles. A necklace on Mikey, the full bandana on Raph, the wooden chest piece and I love NY button on Leo was fine. Heck, the tattoos are fine in my book. But the shoes and pants are a little, WTF? It's just overkill IMO.

The only thing that really bothers me is Leo's wooden chest piece, and Donatello's Tech overkill. I don't have a problem with Raph or Mikey, but I can understand why some people are pissed with the unnecessary clothing decisions that were made for the turtles.

Yeah, I heard.

I dunno, but the sneakers and sandals kind of take away from that badass image they are trying to paint for me.

[Galactus]

I don't think that would work.

They should have been more open about the designs from the beginning.

I remember they released concept art of various Transformers quite early and altered Optimus Prime and Megatron seemingly based on the fan reactions. Obviously a lot ended up hating the final ones but at least they were recognizable as the characters.

We had concept art of Guardians of the Galaxy letting us know the team roster and general look they were going for over two years ago.

I don't think it should have been out of the question for them to have given us an idea on what they were aiming for. Everything about this movie has had them plowing ahead with big things they really love and then confused when fans get wind and don't like it and then haphazardly changing their plans.

And if they were more open then what? Every outlook would have been different? the film received backlash the min Bay was brought on the project
wish he never made that alien comment to begin with but as for the designs
1.Descriptions -People were curious
2.Halloween Costume-People were upset
3.Concept art-People were disgusted
4. Maquettes-People were more at ease
5.Toys-People didn't care
6.Final Reveal Unfinished/Complete-People have mixed feelings everyone's opinions would've stayed the same no matter which order they decided to go in

No it's not. And it's about to get worse. I'll probably stay away from IMDb starting tomorrow. The jerks on there will spoil anything they can (I was still pissed to go on there to see something about Transformers 3, and someone posted all in caps what happens to Ironhide!:x)

Yeah, I'm more flipping my lid over the fact that they've put a fart joke into the film. Look, humor is subjective - needless to say, it's not my cup of tea - but the Turtles don't need toilet humor to be funny. I'm actually really annoyed by this.

All I can say is, you lucky August 8th release people better post some freaking glowing reviews of this thing, because lately I've been thinking more and more about the fact that I dislike more than I like with what we've seen, and wondering if I'd be better off just waiting a few months til the post-release furor has died down before I watch it - like Warhorse said, I really don't know what the hell to think about any of this anymore.

It's just another thing this movie is doing. I get hyped up because I do like Michael Bay, and I am indifferent to Liebersman and Fox, thinking I would love this thing. Then the trailer came out, and I was so not happy with the faces. I almost wanted to throw in the towel then and there. But, OK, let me stick it out, wait for some more. Maybe the sh!t will grow on me.

Then, Knoxville and Shaloub are kicking out the original actors to do the voices. I was like, er, OK. I like both, but, Knoxville voicing Leo? I would have to wait and see.

Then the new trailers released. Pros, I liked Knoxville just fine, the action and the personalities looked great. Then i got a good look at Raph. So, one neutral, two positives and one negative. But the one negative deals with my favorite Turtle. Ok, I'll hang in there.

The BTS came out. I finally get to hear that Pete guy's voice, and just realized, he would make a far better Leo than Knoxville. So, that neutral kind of turned into a negative one for me.

I'm seeing some nice kickass scenes with Mikey and Donnie, but then I am taken out of that by their stupid clothes and shoes.

I get a kick out of Raph's banter with Vernon, then I get ticked when April is succumbed to nothing more than a sex object.

Mikey has a great moment with the Turtle van, and then, the fart joke. Really? Was that really necessary? I too agree, I'm not a fan of toilet humor. It's like for every positive this movie gets from me, I see something else that adds 2 negatives to counteract that one positive. It's frustrating. I want to like this movie, but it's becoming a challenge for me. I shouldn't have to force myself to see past all of the crap I don't like for a Ninja Turtle movie.

Looking back I don't find the joke funny either. Burping and farting works fine in the Shrek films since Shrek and Fiona are ogres. However, even though the TMNT films have some humor in them, they really don't need this kind of humor.

As soon as I read Baxter Stockman experimenting on a pig and a rhino I knew he was full of sh*t.....

[ranger_scout]

Here's a brief interview with director Jonathan Liebesman.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtlesdirector Jonathan Liebesman loves his masked mutant warriors so much that he can't even keep his favorite one straight.

First he preferred tough guy Raphael, then switched to the laid-back Michelangelo and now is keen on gadget guru Donatello. "He's goodhearted and introverted," Liebesman says, "and sometimes I feel like that."

The filmmaker brings his human stars Megan Fox and Will Arnett to a Thursday panel at Comic-Con for the movie (due out Aug. 8 ), though most of the Ninja Turtles faithful probably are waiting to see a modern take on heroes Raph (played by Alan Ritchson via voice and motion-capture), Don (Jeremy Howard), Mike (Noel Fisher) and their shelled leader Leonardo (voiced by Johnny Knoxville).

Liebesman takes the dark look of the 1980s Kevin Eastman/Peter Laird comics and melds it with the charm of the 1990s cartoon and the explosive sequences that come naturally with having Michael Bay as an executive producer.

"When you're dealing with Bay, you want to play at his level of epic-ness in terms of the action," Liebesman says.

Most important for him was keeping the touchstones, from the Turtles' mutagen origins to their love of pizza and their individual personalities. "We worked with each individual actor to make sure the character of their Turtle came through when they went from performance capture to CGI-land."

The biggest changes with this 2014 version are that the Turtles are more weathered from their adventures, and their helmeted, steel-clawed arch-nemesis The Shredder is way more intimidating than the villain of old.

Liebesman takes his cue for The Shredder from the popular superhero movies of the moment.

"Your action films are only as good as your bad guy," the director says. "You can have all the charm you want, but to be compelled to watch till the end, you want to make sure you have a bad guy who people hate and want vanquished."

SDCC'14 An Afternoon with the TMNT Cast & Crew:

Nathan Best-CMB (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/teenage_mutant_ninja_turtles/news/?a=104344)

When asked if the movie followed the original comics or the original cartoon more tonally - Liebsman replied:

"Definitely more towards the cartoon, but visually very inspired by the comics. I didn’t want, as a fan, to just see a retelling of the cartoons and that tone. I want some sort of grittiness, so that comes with the tone and the way we depict the foot soldiers and Shredder. I think it’s a little more hardcore than the cartoon did. More in line with what Eastman and Laird were doing with the original comics."

"I think superhero movies today, obviously you have the amazing Chris Nolan ones, which are very serious, and I think there’s something you can take from that in terms of making things feel compelling and having huge stakes, so we wanted to just take that, but I think with Ninja Turtles, it’s so absurd, you want to draw from the cartoons, to me that was the most successful telling of that, and the first movie, although Megan loves the second movie…"
