I hope so and the Hollywood Reporter makes some great points of both returning the franchise to its roots as well as eschewing the bigger and funnier approach to comic book movies might make it stand out after they already tried to be the Avengers with shells. (Not that I'm against a big scale TMNT movie the turtles work well in both grounded and big scale) I will say that the parody aspect of TMNT has always been way overstated and to be honest the things it was sorta parodying aren't even that prominent in comic book related media anymore. Getting a comedy writer doesn't inspire me with a lot of confidence that they learned the right lessons from the previous movie. |

Haven't seen "Thor: The Dark World", so I have no opinion on it, or whether anyone could have done it better. Point being, she's made two good movies, both of which were female-centric. She definitely knows how to make THAT movie, but all things are not equal. Whether or not she'd be a good fit for Batman, Terminator, or Ninja Turtles... we haven't seen enough to make that judgment yet. It's not like there's such a thing as a universally Great Director who only makes Great Movies. I've seen as much crap as gold from James Cameron by this point, for example. Or Tim Burton, who is capable of magic from time to time but whose stuff is absolutely junk unless he's playing within his very specific interests. You just never know how a movie is going to turn out until it's in front of your face. That's the rub.

White male producers/executives/CEOs who have immense power/influence always seem to give special opportunities/propositions to white male directors/writers.
Like, they never even consider other possible individuals to fulfill these roles. It's frustrating. |

This makes me happy. Not because I loved the last 2 but because we’re getting another movie and because people are probably gonna lose their minds again. There’s already 5 pages here.
It’s surprising but new writers, chairman and I assume director. I can’t help but give them the benefit of the doubt. Especially if it’s not a sequel to the others. Should be much better even if it’s not the greatest.

Maybe they should cast a wider net? Patty Jenkins, Ava Duvernay, Kelly Fremon Craig etc a lot of great choices out there that would make an awesome TMNT film

Unless... you actually DON'T know, and are just talking to hear yourself. Also, since you're clearly someone who has been able to infiltrate the highest levels of Hollywood bureaucracy, to the point where you know exactly what decisions they make, and why, I'd be interested in seeing your body of work. And... go.

Plus it's not like any of them were lining up to take a crack at this property after the failure of the last two films.

Is it a little early to be pushing your agenda when we don't even know the cast or even director. We literally know nothing about this movie

I had hope when I read the headline this morning. That hope left as soon as I read "Michael Bay"
Goodbye character development, welcome back Megan Fox |

My thoughts on this are only negative, bordering on...
Until I see reason to believe otherwise, I see no reason to believe TPTB won't just once again try to find the best way to serve up the best slice of NuFred Wolf.

If anyone is going to touch the TMNT for another live action movie they need to take into account the following.
First and foremost please make the story engaging and coherent. This is very important. This destroyed the 2 Bay films. Even if the Bay designs weren’t great, the films were destroyed by the poor story, script and decision to make the Turtles virtually invincible. I may even have had a little more respect for Bay Turtles if they would have stuck to their guns and produced the movie they originally intended. Trying to do last minute re-shoots etc just confused things. Another important area that needs to be acknowledged is that I believe there are a number of cornerstones that need to be considered and applied. Exactly what these are I’m not maybe not good enough or literate enough to explain fully (or think of good ones at this moment) but some of you with more brain power than me may be able to add or take away from the below points. But I believe at least some of the below points, plus some others that I probably haven’t thought of need to 100% be applied to the writing of the next film. Some of these cornerstones might be: > Brotherhood. > Weakness (both physical and mental). > Down time (but not just for the sake of it. 1990 got it perfect i.e. Mike and Donny waiting for the Pizza. Bay Turtles did it ‘just because’ and it didn’t feel natural because of it). > Journey (journey taken throughout the film. Spiritual. Emotional. Etc). > History/past life (very important. They need to establish early on what their roots are, Splinter’s history, any relationships with enemies etc). > Tone. They need to decide what tone they are going for and stick with it. Serious? Comedy? Kids? Adult themes? (I realise 'tone' isn't really a TMNT cornerstone...but had to add it in here somewhere) Something that gives me the slightest glimmer of hope is that the new Bumblebee trailer at least shows they are turning more towards the G1 style and dropping the crappy Bay TF designs. If only…IF ONLY…they would have just listened to the TF fans at the start and did G1 style from the beginning… With this in mind maybe they might also be reconsidering the Turtle designs...

I am really at a loss of words right now. I really am! I want to know what is going through Viacom/Paramount/whoever's minds right now to get the same people who's last TMNT bombed to do another one. There's plenty of other brilliant people out there to give audiences a solid movie. Are they really this tone deaf, this paranoid, this desperate, and this idiotic to get these people and their company back to do another movie?
"Yeah let's get the people who failed us last time another chance! I'm sure they'll do better this time!" Good God! What are they thinking?! It doesn't ****ing matter if they get a new writer. Bay and co. are still on board and will still use the same tactics they did for the last two films for this one. I pray it's not a continuation of the last two films but even a reboot by these guys still bothers me. They only see profit for this franchise and not for it's potential. Please for the love that is all good, cancel this before it happens! Quote:

I'd watch two more Bay Turtle sequels over another Fant4stic being made. Thankfully that's not an issue as the First Family will be done right for their next film. Quote:
I recently went on a bad video game movie binge and his Far Cry adaptation is actually fun B movie cheese. The actors aren't phoning it in, but not taking it too seriously and as a director, Boll seems okay with it being cheesy. Postal was okay in the same vein. It just accepted ridiculousness and over the top stupidity and ran with it. I need to see if RiffTrax has done the full Boll Collection.

I think you're just trolling at this point. You've been offered countless explainations why things are the way they are and how things are actually changing fast (but not overnight) and your comments are still bare boned and don't acknowledge anything that's been presented to you. |

We've been prepared for not expecting a third film since late-October 2016. http://comicbook.com/2016/10/30/teen...-of-the-shado/

As far as my expectations for this movie goes... I don't know. Way too early to tell but if I had to guess, they'll push more into a kiddie direction than trying to adapt anything that's come before it.
Take Rise of the TMNT for example. Familiar, but different, and not trying to be a retread of anything else. That's what my instincts tell me anyway. I hope I'm wrong, but hey, if not - oh well. I know it's divisive, but for me, Turtles Forever was TMNT's swan song. It felt like a nice end of an era for me. Ever since, I let go of getting all up in arms about little details like having three toes or nostrils or learning ninjitsu from a book. I hope for the best, but when it goes in the opposite direction, I just kinda shrug and go "oh well." |
