New video of Kevin Eastman talking about the Teaser - Read First Post

[TigerClaw]

Just found another Interview, But from Comic Book Resources, He talks a bit about the movie here too.
http://www.comicbookresources.com/?p...ticle&id=52369

Here's the bit about the new movie.

Switching gears, the new "TMNT" movie isn't far away. What's it like to finally it opening just around the corner?

It's been a four, almost five-year journey to bring the next "Turtles" movie to life since the time we pitched it. I know everybody is like, "Oh, Michael Bay, Michael Bay, Michael Bay, he's gonna ruin it! He's gonna destroy it!" But everyone I have encountered has been nothing more than incredibly sincere to try and bring the Turtles back in a way that's new, fresh and exciting, but with total respect to everything that's come before. I've read the script. I have a cameo in the move. It's awesome -- really fun.

What they've done with the film is going to make fans incredibly happy, including myself. The vision is awesome, the effects are incredible and the story will be something everybody can relate to and like. I'll leave it out there for the fans to let us know what they like in the end, but I'm very proud to be part of it. A lot of people are going to be surprised.

It baffles me every time someone takes comments by people involved with the movie at face value despite them being caught out in lies or mounting evidence to contrary.

Kevin was praising this movie and saying similar things when they still had that awful Blue Door script and I think we can all agree that script was not a "total respect to everything that has come before".

Kevin talks about Slash being based on a character from the black and white comics. I never heard that before what character is he talking about?

I mean, I have tons of respect for Kevin, I'm glad he's involved with the franchise again, and his IDW work in particular has made me very happy. But he has generally always been very supportive and positive about the franchise as a whole, no matter how far it's strayed from the original vision, even if certain elements have been... poorly-regarded.

I've said it before, but more power to him. He sold his rights a while ago, but he's still being consulted and involved in things and still given a (well-deserved) spotlight. And he's gotta be super happy to see the TMNT still in the spotlight 30 years after that first comic was published. I totally appreciate what he's done and what he's doing - but he's also invested in talking things up in a way others might not be. I'd never besmirch him for that -- again, this man is a huge, key inspiration to me in many ways, and I respect him an absolute ton -- but his approval isn't necessarily an objective endorsement.

Thank you for posting this and thank you to the other guys that posted the other stuff. I like Eastman and the fact that he seems to be a classy fella. I love the IDW stuff that ive read so far. Cant wait to see this : )

Which is why he was brought in to work on the script. BD script was before the New screen writer was brought in, before Johnathan was brought on and before they Pushed the movie back almost a full year for SCRIPT REWRITES. why why push it back and have these new people come in just to keep the same script.You seriously think they kept all the bad parts of the script and just skipped nearly a full years worth of time to rewrite the movie? Yup seems legit.

I think it's possible he means the new Nicktoon version which has some similarities to the character Snapper from a short story by Rick McCollum in the Turtle Soup anthology seres about Raphael fighting April's new pet turtle which transforn into a Tokka-esque mutant.

Although the story is in colour so that may not be what he's referring to.

Where on earth do you get the idea that Kevin was brought in to work on any script?

That's an outlandish claim which as far as I know has nothing to support it.

Kevin was claiming he'd read the script and was praising it way before it leaked and the movie was delayed to re-write it.

Let's not forget that Michael Bay claimed that script was not associated with Platinum Dunes and had long been ditched. Of course I think even you would have to concede that now seems like a bald face lie on his part so why should we trust anything he says?

Also it was way before that, around the time of Bay's alien race comment that Kevin made out like it wouldn't be a big deal if the turtles were aliens but rather bizarrely claimed the turtles were aliens in the comics - not that they had an alien aspect to their origin like Jonathan Leibesman pointed out to make a similar ill fitting point - but that if you read the comics you'd see they were aliens. I'd say this is a good sign he'd say anything to support this product.

Except he, Johnathan, and Evan said other wise

Not really all the info i have seen were from interviews and such after bay's anouncement of the changed script.

OK on thing that gets me is that Most of the people on these forum dont have any "movie" experience and none of use has dealt with a Hollywood movie on a level in which we can say how the inner workings work. That being said was Bay name on the script does it have Platinum Dune on the script. No its all Paramount Done Via Viacom. And i dont see it as a bald face lie Because your basing this "judgment" off of a time stamp on the trailer that could be really anything When it was written when it was original scheduled to shoot many other reasons.
And it get me How "people" can hold such a double standard "Oh Marvel can do no wrong" and believe anything they say yet Because you don't like Mbay automatically everyone involved is now a lair cheat and thief.

Not really. I remember seeing some interviews and such about him seeing thing's and he has said is been a part of the production for almost 4 years But the substantial Info I have seen is that he was brought in to Talk and discus and enlighten Johnathan who was only brought on about a year ago maybe. about the story characters and setting. ANd another interview about being brought in to help Evan(who was brought on After they push the release date about a year), Nemec, and (other) with writing the script.

I don't suppose you could find a quote saying Kevin was working on the script.

http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=37758

"I had been invited to check out the TMNT film development by my friend Scott Mednick over the years, and a while back had a full look behind the curtian [sic] at what writers Appelbaum and Nemec, director Liebesman, and producer Bay are doing--and trust me--it IS AWESOME. I'm officially on board, and will share more as I'm allowed... thanks all!"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...wh-LHa-5lQ#%21

" am officially consulting on the movie and what they have come up with so far I think is just fantastic… whatever you’ve heard. Just wait.”

OK on thing that gets me is that Most of the people on these forum dont have any "movie" experience and none of use has dealt with a Hollywood movie on a level in which we can say how the inner workings work. That being said was Bay name on the script does it have Platinum Dune on the script. No its all Paramount Done Via Viacom.

That's a rather big assumption that no one on here has any experience in the field of making movies.

It's also an even bigger leap to to assume that because a person hasn't worked in a particular industry they have no clue about it. I'd say these days your average joe knows more than ever about how Hollywood makes movies.

I'm not stating the fact that script was what Platinum Dunes was working with on a time stamp on on a trailer but rather the script was dated after Bay came to be involved and several elements of that script are present in what they are shooting. These are facts.

Does anyone other than Bay deny that script was the real deal and the turtles were supposed to be aliens anyway? It seems Leibesman doesn't quite know how to respond to that kind of enquiry. But yes - Bay lied.

Not really. I remember seeing some interviews and such about him seeing thing's and he has said is been a part of the production for almost 4 years But the substantial Info I have seen is that he was brought in to Talk and discus and enlighten Johnathan who was only brought on about a year ago maybe. about the story characters and setting. ANd another interview about being brought in to help Evan(who was brought on After they push the release date about a year), Nemec, and (other) with writing the script.

Y'see if Kevin was brought in..or rather brought back in after he was apparently let go quite late on it in the game it doesn't seem like he's have much influence as Jonathan Leibesman would have us believe ie: that it's all from Kevin's head. I wouldn't go as far as say he's lying but it certainly seems to be deliberately misleading people into creating the impression Kevin was involved throughout the whole process.

n all honesty this is the first time i heard anything major from you or anyone. I know you've said you working the industry but idk what anyone would classify "experience" IM not trying to be rude or a jerk but iv had friends who were in movies as well doesn't mean they no the ins and outs of the movie industry, I admire what you do and thats great but im sorry i dont really have the feeling you understand full production of a 100 mil budget movie(script writing, production, casting calls, etc etc etc)

As for anyone else I haven't seen any evidence nor out right I've worked on movie (of similar value)

Out of curiosity, what do you know what it's like to be working on a 100 million dollar project? Hmmmmmmm........... Maybe it's not as difficult as you think it is.

[Puddinpop]

Can we stop arguing?? Im sure the topic isn't " lets prove who did what" .. This is ridiculous. Anyways. If this film ends up being the worst thing ever then im sure it will hurt Kevin's credibility even more. Im sure he knows that. It will hurt Everyone's carrier when it comes to trust from fans. So I hope they know what they're doing. I think it will turn out well

So? No one has said Kevin hasn't commented since the script leaked andwas rewritten. The point was Kevin did comment equally as positively when prior to that.
