'A Ghost Story' Director Would Make a Ninja Turtles Movie
Anyone familiar with this guy or his work? While would certainly isn't a will, it's still nice to see people interested and this soon.

I saw the article earlier this week, but have no idea who the guy is or what he's done.
If the man only refers to the movies (old or new) WITHOUT referring to the comics (Mirage, IDW, or even Archie), I'm not interested. Enough with the toy/cartoon pandering.

Good and fair point... (Now if someone could help educate him first... Maybe we can send in Andrew. )

TMNT needs a talented and proven filmmaker to take an interest... somebody like James Gunn, or the Super Russo Bros, or Peter Jackson, or Edgar Wright.
I'd say Guillermo del Toro, but the man takes on too many ideas and never does anything with most of them, so he's out.

Forget about, "Should this person make a new TMNT movie?" -- anyone in the industry caught saying or even suggesting "I really dug the second PD TMNT movie" pretty much just needs to be blacklisted from ever working on any motion picture, ever, in any capacity.
And possibly drug into the street and shot. Possibly both.

I would make a Ninja Turtles movie, too. And my cinematic oeuvre is just as well known as this guy's.

He probably won't ever get the chance, considering he isn't well known.
And I'm thankful for that. He clearly only knows FW/movies and we don't need any more of their influence in any films. And if he actually praises any of the PD films, we reeeeaaaally don't want him working on anything TMNT. |

I'm all for new and unproven filmmakers for some properties, but TMNT has been underestimated and exploited for toys/merch/pizza for far too long.
I want a filmmaker with a proven track record that I can examine and say "Yes, this man/woman has proven that they can make a damn good movie."

Dave Green
Was Dave Green (who directed "Out of the Shadows") also a TMNT fan as a child?

I think we must be prepared for upcoming versions having different background stories of the turtles than those we all know.

That'd be like giving a Batman movie to a Shrek director, because they did a good Shrek movie. It's not remotely the same kind of material.

The Pete's Dragon remake wasn't anything like the original movie, since that was a musical, and this remake was a serious take on it
