"When you first started the project were you going for an R rated movie in the lines of Spiderman"
Huh? Since when is there R-rated Spider-Man movies? And I'm not sure where the "overzealous fans" he's referring to hungering for R-rated Turtles are. We just want PG-13 -- it's an amicable middle ground, and just ensures that the movie is actually geared toward a minimum of teenagers (yes, scary thought... a teenage ninja movie actually for teenagers and up, heaven forbid). Pretty good interview, but I'd have grilled him a little more (not impolitely, of course).

Nice... So what's this I read about TMNT 2? How recently did Kevin respond to your interview?

Sweet interview.
3rd installment! Don't tease me. I'm in a good mood now. I love how he flirted with the sequel talk!

Great interview, Raph.
Yeah, Mako is cool. I'll miss him in Avatar the Last Airbender season 3. T.T So a Casey Jones movie is a good idea. That'd be interesting. And wow, hints for a definite sequel! Good news.

As in it was completed in one sitting/typing? As in, he actually looked at it and answered your questions yesterday?
This makes me like the interview even more (sequel talk, despite the odds). Thanks so much!

So this means that a good sequel is definitely possible.....and it would "ground" the Turtles....as in getting back to the urban awesomeness of New york evident in the first season of 2k3 and the first live action movie....?
Great!

Should they kill folks and get in bloody fights with a couple of swear words in there, though? Absolutely, and you can get away with this even in PG-13.

and yeah they could do all those things, but thats not neccessarily what it takes to make a good Ninja Turtles film. You can make a perfectly good Ninja Turtles film without bloody fights and casual swearing and glorified killing. look at TMNT and the first Ninja Turtles movie. neither one goes overboard with swearing, death and bloody battles like many folks have called for. its all down in a very subtle way. for example its more then implied in TMNT that Leo killed that man in the forrest in the beggining of the film (heck the entire film is set up under the idea that the turtles offed the Shredder and are a bit directionless afterwards when they don't have anyone to fight). Its subtle and won't alienate the fact that the turtles have fans of all ages. |

In any case, the TMNT comics hardly revolve around casual swearing and glorified killing (and I'm not sure there's any "glorified" killing in the comics... it's handled quite subtly/tactfully when we see it, and always as only a necessary evil). Quote:
