Yesssss. I'm excited.

Nice :D

I predicted that they would start filming in May so I was a month out.

I guess we will start seeing news on any new actors joining the movie in the next few weeks.

More focus on secondary characters? Give Eric Sachs a rivalry with Kari. Give Taylor more than a couple of scenes. Give the proper amount of screentime to Bebop,Rocksteady,or Casey Jones if included. Less April would be nice or atleast not force the focus on her.

A sad day. Up until now there was still a decent chance a sequel wouldn't materialize despite the announcement but now this is sad news.

This is awesome news can't wait to see what Bebop and Rocksteady look like.

I created a thread in the proper section here

wow
 

that was actually such a good idea to introduce that sub.

Also ANOTHER Friday the 13th reboot? really? it better not be the first one again. At least do like a new blood remake

Anyone else getting a Ghosts of BlueDoor Past vibe here?

Please by some miracle of human nature (no, wait, the reverse of human nature) please let the new script/completed film be at least 65-75% GOOD (or better!), does not include any full blown "wtf" ideas, and at least gives the Turtles and history a moderate amount of respect (or more!). It's a lot to ask, I know, but should they not be capable of it, or worse, capable of only less... then may the turtle gods smite them. Raining Galapagos upon their heads would be sufficient.

I hope so. I know they said Bebop and Rocksteady are gonna be in it, but I'd like to see Krang, too. I dunno if he's confirmed.

Given there's concept art, I'd say he is.

Oh, cool. I thought I read that was fake, but thanks for clearing that up.

Bebop & Rocksteady ? Meh. Overrated characters. Too much CGI characters anyway. Give us good ol Casey Jones. Don't care who they fight.
B&R means return of the Shredder and the foot clan. Shredder is back with a vengeance. He created his own mutants.

I can see the tagline : "To fight mutants he created mutants of his own". Sounds familiar...So what ? It's what Hollywood calls a formula.

I can see Casey Jones appearing in this, Just have a scene where Casey confronts Bebop and Rocksteady, Hes about to get his ass kicked, When Raph shows up and saves him.

Yes i can't wait i loved tmnt 2014 i just wish more of karai and baxter stockman is in it. and hopely 15 to 20 mins longer this time. I loved the subway scene.

I also would like to see Karai return, Her role needs to be expanded, and be the one giving Bebop and Rocksteady the orders.

Sh*t, that was quick. Movie 1's only been on blu-ray for a bit & they're already straight into 2. Means we'll be getting casting rumours/news pretty soon. Awesome.

Prepare yourselves... TWWII is coming.

Yeah... I mean, I'm not pooh-poohing the idea just for the sake of being negative; it just seems to me that they're throwing in all the stuff that they wanted to do in the first place with the Blue Door script, rather than sitting down and thinking about what a logical continuation from the story we currently have would be.

As I've said previously, we've already got Sachs and Shredder, plus Baxter waiting in the wings, and maybe Karai (unless she vanishes for the sequel). I can't imagine that they'd put Bebop and Rocksteady in and not include Shredder, and given Fichtner's three-movie contract, I don't see them putting him on the shelf for a sequel. So we're basically at 4 villains already for the second movie - two of whom are dumb henchmen and the other two of whom aren't properly fleshed out because they were both supposed to be the same character in the first place.

To my mind, it would've made more sense to just do something interesting with Fichtner for a sequel, and leave Bebop and Rocksteady out of it. Their inclusion just seems like blatant "Oooh, fans like X... so let's put X in the movie just so they'll pay to see it!", without thinking about the big picture.

I mean, if they wanted big action slamfests with mutant-on-mutant for the sequel, there's no reason that they couldn't mutate Fichtner. I don't see why he needs to stay human - he's basically just Rich Evil Human dude, and he doesn't even serve any purpose as their frontman for public relations after his involvement in the events of the first movie. Mutate him into a giant super-freak and make him big enough that it's going to take all four of the Turtles working together to bring him down.

Really quick turnaround for a group that didn't have a set plan for the franchise. Good thing there are some talented writers/producers involved......

"we'll convert you".

I think it's funny they anticipate that people hated the movie. They know the score.

Anyhoo the day the start is going to be a sad day for TMNT fans.

This film is all about Bebop & Rocksteady, for me. They're the main event of this sequel. I'm confident they'll be a blast. Casey Jones worries me cause I have the feeling they're gonna cast him wrong, I don't want even more focus put on humans & his inclusion could just equal that cringey "romance" sh*t that the Transformers films are filled with.

I like this because it means that we'll see leaked stuff sooner than much later.

Speak for yourself plenty of tmnt fans excited for the sequel here and other places

And some people say "Dawn of Justice" is being rushed.

What's funny to me is, some of the same people who think Dawn of Justice is going to be rushed and crammed are completely behind this project. I'm not saying just here, it's lots of places. It just goes to show you how some people don't really know how to process information.

How they're going to make a "better movie" by doubling-down on all the stuff that ruined the first one is a serious mystery to me. I doubt the studio is going to allow twice the budget to accommodate twice as much CGI, for example. Or add another hour to the runtime to make room for all these new characters AND give us more of the Turtles, as some people are so positively certain is going to happen.

Fact is, it's either going to be 2 hours and 15 minutes MINIMUM on a $300 million budget, or it's gonna be a rushed hack job. Just math, homies. Just math.

Just basking in the faint, dim glow of what tiny crumbs exist of willfully faked naive optimism... at least until something leaks that makes 3/4 of the community go "Oh, ****." :trazz:

Does make me a little concerned that it starts production so soon, that damn script better be amazing. Although on the plus side, I suppose starting so soon gives them more room for error, and appropriately tweaking it in a way that works better (rather than a half assed patched up job), should any truly bad ideas get leaked to the public.

I do look forward to seeing how Bebop and Rocksteady turn out though. Seeing as I'm not really attached to them, but I know some are, including I'm sure some that were very in support and defensive of the first film. If they screw those two up... eek. But I'll just grab the popcorn and watch the debates. lol

Calling it now, they're going with the "Do we really NEED a script?" method. They know they have a "win" just by having Bebop and Rocksteady in it. They've already sold people. Nothing else they do means anything.

They'll write some stuff down, I'm sure, but they're not going to spend a whole lot of time on it, because they don't have a lot of time. Most of it will probably come from stuff they threw out the first couple times, when they were working on the last one. That's what usually happens.

Which is whatever, that's the business. But anyone who thinks they're putting this thing together with any kind of TLC is kidding themselves.

why do i have a strong gut feeling..this announcement was made without a script even started or not even completed

In the interest of fairness, lest anyone give me any sh*t... "Man of Steel" was essentially made from taking a bunch of old scripts out of a drawer and stapling pages from each one together with a few notes in red pen crammed in the margins, then calling it "One Script", and in my opinion, it was a good movie. So it can work.

It's just not under any conditions the RIGHT way to make a movie or tell a good story. But sometimes it turns out okay. I just think in this case, time and money are going to work against them.

I would rather have new mutants for Shredder that are.... ninja style. Different animals but ninja trained.

Rahzar is a good example.

10 Ways To Make Ninja Turtles 2 Better!! very cool video I just saw

I could be willing to agree to him getting pretty much everything he wants... IF he'd take back the part about Knoxville. :trazz: Until/unless it's known otherwise, will still be hoping that Leo's physical actor gets to voice him this time.

Ok, I still do hope they listen to fans, but particularly during this span of time between last summer and production of the next, and carefully consider some things. Legit stuff, not stupid things like the unnecessary title change. But I can see they went for that one because it was easy. The time for making changes is before stupid stuff is recorded.

I love carpet. I love desk. I love lamp.

Good thing.

Good thing...

Guess what. It's going to be.

Liebesman himself said that the reason there wasn't more Turtles in the movie was it was too expensive.

Do you really think that's going to change with MORE cg characters?

No, no it won't. You're going to get the bare minimum, again.

And there are plenty of TMNT fans who aren't excited for it, here and elsewhere.

What's your point?

They won't even do that. Gonna be a big dart board with lots of crappy movie tropes and a blank in each one. Each dart that hits a trope will be written into the script with one of the character's names in the blank.

Alright, I'm out.

Every thread. Jesus Christ.

You seem to think you deserve an echo chamber.

I'm fascinated as to why you think you do.

I'm not looking for an echo chamber, I'm looking for decent conversation.

I'm OK with pennydreadful's post even though we disagree. She's just like "hey, I have a bad feeling..." and that's cool. She's entitled to that.

I'm OK with Leo's post, even though he's pulling "facts" and "math" out of nowhere. Just a colorful way of expressing his disinterest.

I'm OK with Indigoerth's posts.

What I'm not OK with is people getting singled out for looking forward to the next movie and being responded to with dumb gifs and condescension. They don't deserve that.

But hey, keep doing you, homie. Last time I'll say anything here.
