TMNT: Back in the Shell fan-movie - Page 2

They say the majority of the costs will go to the Turtle suits... but it looks like they already made them, even before the Kickstarter? They just want to make extras? Eh, they're not making a full feature here or anything... they want $20,000 to do one "episode" which will presumably be in the 10-15 minute range. Or less.

If I already had 4 Turtle suits ready to go, I would ask $5,000 for a TMNT film (and hey, maybe I get $8,000) and I could film a full feature in 4 months, maybe less depending on schedules.

I was thinking the same thing.

Maybe they planned to improve the mouth movement on the turtle heads with the extra money, eh?

Yeah, April's altruistic speech just killed it for me.

I still think "Fight the Foot" would be a step in the right direction for a TMNT series as long as they made a few modifications to the costume.

I hope someone is able to do something awesome because God knows we aren't going to get any good movies.

I love the vibe of "Fight the Foot." They just need to fix the Foot costumes.

I know, right? The title didn't exactly represent what was going on in the film. I didn't see a single foot ninja.
