Looks like Casey Jones dodged a bullet.

[Shark_Blade]

Vernon's the main male lead like Sam Witcwicky maybe?

[Jester]

Again...were we really still expecting Casey at this point? I mean..is this really news to anyone?

[chrisdude]

Y'all didn't see the set pics of Vernon in a hockey mask?

[Electric]

I guess I'm really not shocked. Maybe this could work well? I don't know. If the movie does well and gets a sequel, they could bring in Casey then

[CyberCubed]

Judging by whitewashed Colonel Eric Sachs Shredder, and Burne turned into Whoopi Goldberg, I think we dodged a bullet by having no Casey.

Most likely Casey would have been reimagined as The Rock or some other "macho man" from today's generation.

[CowabungaMikey]

I once had hope for this movie, but Vernon taking Casey's role? That's like Bebop doing Splinter's role.

[Xav]

I don't get why they decided to make Vernon Fenwick a main character. None but the older fans will even know who he is.

[CowabungaMikey]

I don't get why they decided to make Vernon Fenwick a main character. None but the older fans will even know who he is.

Yeah, and they probably get mad about what they did to him >:( Why Vernon? Why not a new camera-man?

[ZariusTwo]

Not at all fussed. I could do with a break from Casey "one note" Jones.

At least Vernon could potentially have a character arc here, going from zero to hero.

[BigMike322]

The movie is going to be G.I. Joe bad.

[Casey]

Exactly. The less they can ruin, the better. He'd be no Elias Koteas.

LOL!

[shuriken]

This makes me sad. I was having such a good day too..
Actually I guess it's not so bad. If they're gonna sh*t on the TMNT might as well leave some of the characters intact.

[ryukenden]

I will always think of Vernon as the ambitious but charming coward and not a Casey replacement.

Tbh, I wouldn't mind having The Rock in a TMNT movie, especially if his movie character would be "The Rock" as well. I mean, come on, The Rock and the Ninja Turtles in the same movie? Sounds awesome.

[Casey]

I will always think of Vernon as the ambitious but charming coward and not a Casey replacement.

Right? Since when was he helpful and a good replacement for Casey? To be fair though, I think that what was meant by the person connected to the film who said those things was simply that they filled the void of having another human character with a big role and some direct contact with either the turtles or The Shredder. In other words, there wouldn't be enough plot (whatever god awful plot they have come up with) to plug Casey into it and have it be cohesive and worthwhile.

[Plasticplayhouse]

I wasn't expecting Casey yet anyways. He'll make for a better fit in the sequel.

[snake]

That's different. This whole movie is really trying hard too be different. I smell Transformers.

[Andrew NDB]

Again...were we really still expecting Casey at this point? I mean..is this really news to anyone?

I wasn't expecting Casey yet anyways. He'll make for a better fit in the sequel.

It's true. Casey wasn't a big part of the Fred Wolf cartoon so of course he wouldn't be in this... "film."

Tbh, I wouldn't mind having The Rock in a TMNT movie, especially if his movie character would be "The Rock" as well. I mean, come on, The Rock and the Ninja Turtles in the same movie? Sounds awesome.

Actually... agreed. I even put him in my TMNT 4 screenplay I wrote 14 years ago.

[Leo656]

Y'all are nuts if you guys think having The Rock involved in anything makes it even one bit better.

Seriously, enough either that guy. He needs to just stop... everything.

The good news is, the human body can only hold a certain predetermined amount of anabolic steroids, so he's probably due to erupt like an over-filled water balloon any day now. Problem solved.

Also, the first G.I. Joe wasn't that bad. It was cheesy but not awful. I'd put money down that the TMNT movie won't be anywhere near as entertaining as G.I. Joe, even on a "stupid fun" level.

It also won't be as good as the Speed Racer movie. But then again, nothing ever could be.

[Slime State Alumni]

I vote Stone Cold Steve Austin to play the lead villain in the next movie. Just Stone Cold.

[CyberCubed]

I get this bad feeling that if Casey appears in the sequel he'll be played by Vin Diesel, Will Smith, The Rock, Kayne West, or Mos Def.

[Prowler]

I vote Stone Cold Steve Austin to play the lead villain in the next movie. Just Stone Cold.

Wouldn't like to see Stone Cold fighting the Turtles. Then I wouldn't know who to root for :lol:

You're nuts. That was the ONLY movie based on a cartoon that understood what the f*ck the point of doing that even was. You can NOT find a closer movie adaptation of source material if you looked for a hundred years. Not Batman, not Superman, not Ninja Turtles, not nothin'... Speed Racer WAS the cartoon in live action, and it was glorious.

Dude, you're not wishing death upon The Rock, are you? :lol::o

[Leo656]

Not really. I'd totally accept him retreating into a quiet, hermit-like existence.

I mean, come on, there's only so many entertainment dollars in Hollywood to go around, and for every movie he gets, we're one step farther away from the inevitable Voltron movie, something that really needs to happen in order to bring balance to the universe. Also, Thundercats.

Well, I'm sure a lot of The Rock fans who wanted him back in the WWE kinda regret that wish of theirs today. So you're not alone in that.

As for Dwayne Johnson, the actor... he's pretty meh. I do like the Mummy movies and The Rundown, though. But when I watch the latter I can't help but wonder how a The Rock and Stifler promo would have turned out. :P

[Leo656]

I dunno, when he's working with a director that works to his strengths he can be pretty badass. "Faster" is probably one of the best hardest core, boiled down actioners I've seen in the last decade.

The Rock returned to the WWE in late 2011 or so. And even headlined the last 2 WrestleManias. People were happy at first, but then, of course, many of them eventually got tired of him. That's wrestling fans to you.

[Leo656]

The guy's the f*cking Gilbert Gottfried of wrestling, he has one shtick, one joke, and he repeats it FOREVER and every time he does it people act like they never heard it 8,000 times before. Of course it was gonna get old.

And I know critics used to criticize Hogan's "acting' because he basically just played himself in everything, but Rock comes in an equally limited variety of flavors. God forbid he ever suffered a debilitating eyebrow cramp, his entire career would be done.

It's a ridiculous over-the-top gore/kung fu movie based on an animated movie that was an adaptation of a manga. I'd recommend watching it with a group of friends. It's hilarious. I would recommend trying to track down the non-dubbed version though if possible.

[Plasticplayhouse]

Dear God, no wrestlers in any of these movies. I think Mickey Rourke would make for a good Casey.

[NYShell]

I didn't realize Casey was 60 something years old. Lol worst casting ever, man. Just horrible casting lol. But I agree, no wrestlers.

The movie is going to be G.I. Joe bad.

I think that's an insult to GI Joe. This movie is gonna be Gigli bad.

Stone Cold as Irma.

[CyberCubed]

Oddly enough I'm actually looking forward to Vernon more than anything else in this movie. I'm really curious as to how they'll handle him.

Hopefully he's still the same whimpering coward he was in the cartoon. He also better wear a pink shirt and tie in at least one scene.

[Andrew NDB]

Why would you hope for that? I mean, really?

[ToTheNines]

Movies frequently merge characters when adapting from a source material, especially comic book movies.

Look at it this way: a more "heroic" version of Vernon sounds way better that having Casey being some effete camera man.

Not that I have hope for this flick.

[sgtfbomb]

The Rock was the bomb in Pain and Gain, yo!

Yeah, he was the only good thing about that movie. Same for GI Retaliation. It just goes to show that he can be in a complete turd of a film and still make it somewhat entertaining.

Pretty sure that's not gonna happen. I doubt it would work on-screen like it does in the OT and from the sneak pics/video we've seen, it seems fairly obvious that Will Arnett doesn't carry himself that way base on gestures, posture, etc.

To Andrew's point - why would you want that anyway? (rhetorical question - we all know why you want that.)

He's most likely gonna be April's love interest in the movie.

I don't really see why both characters couldn't be portrayed the way they were meant to be.

Then again I'm still struggling coming up with why a popular franchise stalwarts aren't in the movie while a tertiary character that few remember is now one of the main character.

[ToTheNines]

I feel like they won't have Fox and Arnett as a romantic pair.

EDIT: stupid typo.

[Xav]

Then again I'm still struggling coming up with why a popular franchise stalwarts aren't in the movie while a tertiary character that few remember is now one of the main character.Plus there's the fact that Casey is a lot more toy friendly. I can't see parents begging their parents for a Vernon action figure.

[miru]

What's next? Bebop and Rocksteady are good? Leatherhead used to be human?

[Powder]

Leatherhead used to be human?

He has been human before, you know.

[Jester]

He has been human before, you know.
Jess Harley might be my favorite Leatherhead.

[Powder]

I'm inclined to agree, man.

[chrisdude]

Vernon is a relative blank slate. This Vernon may begin the story much like the Vernon we know. We've been given no reason to think he won't. But he may actually (heaven forbid :roll:) experience some growth of character, for once. And they're free to do whatever they want with him, because we don't have an expectation for that. Maybe they'll kill him. Who knows?

But until they announce another male lead, I totally expect him to have a romantic subplot. Be it with April, or with Abby Elliot's character, somebody's falling in love, because it's a movie.

[CyberCubed]

They're not going to have Vernon be a love interest if they already know they would be bringing Casey in for a sequel.

[chrisdude]

They're not going to have Vernon be a love interest if they already know they would be bringing Casey in for a sequel.Seems unlikely. But it's far less likely that the (human) male lead will go without a love interest.

[Prowler]

I feel like they won't have Fox and Arnett as a romantic pair.

EDIT: stupid typo.

I hope you're right but I'm afraid I'm not that optimistic.

[Derrico13]

Jess Harley might be my favorite Leatherhead.

He's clearly the best choice for onscreen Leatherhead, and I've put together a storyboard based on the Archie origin that I hope makes it to the big screen.....

Now I realize that double-casting Whoopi and the controversial black-washing of a beloved, iconic character such as Mary Bones might not go over well with certain purists, but I'm hoping that Nic Cage as Jess Harley (and maybe Casey Jones....?) will help ease that pain. Also, Wilson from Castaway as the Turnstone, if the budget allows.

[Dawnatello Turtle Chick]

As the 2nd article stated- "William Fichtner recently said that he signed on for 3 films." This is the first I'm hearing of this!!! Yay! Whether the movies are epic, good, bad, mediocre, whatever, this means that there is enough overall interest in the franchise to warrant booking Fichtner for 3 movies. No matter how we look at that- as Turtle fans- that is a good sign that we will have a lot more new Turtley action coming at us for at least 5 more years (or at least 3 or so). We've got an awesome new adult aimed comic book, a new animated show, a new comic book based on the animated show and now 3 movies in the works. If they aren't all perfect, hey, we're loads ahead of where we were 5 years ago.... I for one am willing to give Bay a chance. If I hate it, I hate it, but I'm thankful for the extra attention and potential catalyst that my favorite franchise is getting!

** Also I could see them potentially having Vernon being a love interest in the first movie and when/if Casey comes along, maybe a love triangle thing where April has to choose.... Sounds very Hollywood, not necessarily my thing, but hey.

I am cool with the idea of Casey not being in the film, but seriuosly!? How could Vernon, a complete coward, replace him!? Oh well, we'll just have to wait and see what they have cooked up. :ohwell:

[Shiro Kame]

O...M...G...never saw that one coming...I think the movie is DEFINITELY gonna suck eggs. :teek: O_O

[Hasmot]

...Casey Jones was an alias for Vernon? Something like a Clark Kent / Superman relationship. Might not be so bad, so I am going to wait and see.

[Powder]

Highly doubt it, but given the mystery surrounding Shredder's origin, I suppose anything's possible! I guess there's always a small chance that after enduring all the craziness, he decides at the end to get into the vigilante game, so that he can be CJ in the second film...

[Vivi]

I think the movie will look good, but this is going to be the reboot of all reboots.

[mrfld]

Bay is a visionary and has a way of fixing childhoods.

Vern will become aka Casey Jones. Like Clark and Sup. Vern is Casey 's secret identify.

I wasn't trolling. I was being sarcastic. Not sure how I could have made that clearer.

Anyway I was serious about him turning Vern into Casey.

I keep thinking about the Gob voice from AD combined with a hockey mask. Vern and Gob are similar personalities and Arnett gets type casted regularly.

I hope that clears up my overly complicated and vague statement from above.

I've had the same problem in the past with my sarcasm read as truth... I've taken to using quotes or asterics around the most sarcastic sections of my sentences or using italic. But still the internet isn't kind to us sarcastic people. Lol.

You are the worst possible kind of fan, ma'am. Shame on you. Shame.

[Dawnatello Turtle Chick]

You are the worst possible kind of fan, ma'am. Shame on you. Shame.

Not sure why you're hating on me... Apparently optimism is your kryptonite?!? We have no control over who makes the movie(s) so I chose to be happy that there is enough renewed interest in our franchise to warrant booking Fitchner for 3 movies. I don't have to watch them if I don't like them and neither does anyone else. But I do enjoy the extra attention we are getting in the way of the other TMNT outlets- cartoon, comics, toys, etc. the more fans it can bring in (whether casual, or hardcore) the more we will see this renewed interest last. If you can't see that, then you are shortsighted. Whether you think someone is a worthy fan or not is irrelevant, it's your opinion, and has no impact on this movie as a whole. I can disagree with you unsubstantiated comment (you've never even met me, you jerk) but I still am thankful we are both fans, because the more fans there are, the more TMNT we will see.

And if you're not actually a jerk, my apologies, I just surmised it from your uneducated and negative comment. Either way have a lovely day!

[Andrew NDB]

You basically just want TMNT "product" for the sake of TMNT "product," no matter the quality or even if it is "mediocre."

That is... questionable. And sends a horrible message as a fan to TPTB that you will take whatever they want to throw out there, no matter how terrible or creatively bankrupt their offering(s) may be.

I never said I want terrible product. Quite the opposite. I said if the movie brings in more fans, hence more product options that is a good thing. The animated show is great the related comic is as well, the Eastman comic is phenomenal. None (or at least not all) of these would be here if the public wasn't showing interest. All these successes have garnered enough interest that movies have come into the works. If the movies are horrible I won't pay to go see them, we all vote with our pocket books. If there aren't new things happening in a franchise it stagnates and we won't get such fantastic updates. More fans spending money translates to more potential options. Not all options will be good, but as consumers we can choose which we support by buying them and which we don't. I said that since Fitchner was booked for 3 movies obviously there is enough overall interest in the franchise as a whole to warrant it. I at no point said " Yay, a trilogy of horrible TMNT movies that will butcher my childhood! I'll blindly buy everything they throw out!" I'm not sure if you're trying to read too much into this to pick a fight or what, but there it is.

More than two weeks late on this, and I'm not even sure who or what it was making fun of -- the movie? the fans? everything? -- but god f*cking damn did I love it.

[Tazi]

Not having Casey in the movie is a good thing... at least they won't **** him up.

[Candy Kappa]

I wonder if Movie Vernon is just in-name only or will he be like his cartoon original counterpart personality-wise. I can easily see him be turn into a outrageously flamboyant sidekick, the more wackier characters the better.

[Warhorse]

I didn't realize Casey was 60 something years old. Lol worst casting ever, man. Just horrible casting lol. But I agree, no wrestlers.

What about an actual hockey player, or an actor that was once a hockey player?

[T-U-R-T-L-E POWA!]

Well if there's no Casey maybe now there should be no Mikey, Raph, Leo, Donnie, Splinter, April, and Shredder and all our troubles would be over. LOL.

[Warhorse]

He's probably going to be the comedic sidekick, and we all know what tends to happen to those types in action movies.

[Warhorse]

They're probably saving him for the sequel, if there is one.

[Xav]

With Casey being introduced in the Nick series it really boggles the mind why they would cut him out of the film and instead dig up Vernon who hasn't been used in 20 years.

[TrickOrTreater]

With Casey being introduced in the Nick series it really boggles the mind why they would cut him out of the film and instead dig up Vernon who hasn't been used in 20 years.

Because they don't give a ****.

[Kurai]

Not sure how to feel about Casey not being in this movie. He's one of my favorite characters, so it sucks that he's not in it. But on the other hand, considering how this movie seems to be turning out, I'm happy that he's not in it because they'd probably get his character completely wrong


With Casey being introduced in the Nick series it really boggles the mind why they would cut him out of the film and instead dig up Vernon who hasn't been used in 20 years.

Most likely as they're using the Fred Wolf series as the main source of inspiration for this movie (which is most likely because that's the most well known version of the Turtles), and Casey didn't really play a big role in that series. Also, most likely that they don't give a crap about this franchise and just want to release the movie and get the money from the Turtles fans, people who remembered watching the show when they were kids, little kids so they can sell them more toys, and horny teenage boys who aren't Ninja Turtles fans but will see the film because Megan Fox is in it.

[Xav]

It's weird when you think about it, the 1990 film was released at the height of the old toons popularity, yet Casey Jones played a major role in the film while he had a minor one on the show. Now we have a show with Casey Jones playing a much larger role and we have a film without him.

Not sure how to feel about Casey not being in this movie. He's one of my favorite characters, so it sucks that he's not in it. But on the other hand, considering how this movie seems to be turning out, I'm happy that he's not in it because they'd probably get his character completely wrong

This is how I feel now too, really. & the same goes for why I'm somewhat glad they didn't use more familiar/basic designs for the turtles. :ohwell:
