"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).

check out movies sites and message boards where people keep saying they want to see the turtles drinking beer, killing folks, getting into bloody fights and swearing up a storm. I'm pretty sure that is what he is reffering to.

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!

Which movie sites or message boards? I've never seen any people seriously championing an R rated TMNT movie to those specifics.

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.

dude look around at message boards for various movie news sites you can find plenty of people talking about wanting R-Rated turtles and more blood, guts and violence when the new film was brought up.

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.

Do you ever look back 10 years and go, "Sh*t. I've been saying exactly the same thing for a decade"?

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

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!

You know you're my hero, right?

*Revan* · 06-08-2007, 06:07 PM

Sweet interview.

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

*ToTheNines* · 06-08-2007, 07:03 PM

Very insightful Q&A, can't wait for another one after the next flick.

*cowabunga14* · 06-08-2007, 07:17 PM

Ah, yes...I liked the interview. Good stuff!

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.
