Hopefully this is a good thing and hopefully he won't be cut out of the movie.

Fingers crossed he will get mutated into a fly. :D

This is hilarious. :lol: Glad to see that TMNT2 is now a full blown comedy.

Just heard about this. Seems like Nick and Paramount are really trying to give us exactly what we wanted from the first movie. :lol:

I never really rated Perry as a particularly good actor. Then I saw him in Gone Girl and was very impressed by his performance. It'll be interesting to see how they manage to distinguish him from Eric Sachs, who was basically a makeshift Stockman after the fan backlash of Fichtner playing Shredder. :P

lol
 

agreed. Can't stand tyler perry. He absolutely ruined alex cross

You know, I just got back disappointed after Age of Ultron and then I read this crap.

Tyler Perry? Really? The man who is only famous for his schtick as "Sassy old woman" is going to play an arrogant mad scientist, presumably the main villain of the movie? There are so many black actors who are both better actors and box office draws, why the hell would you cast a hack like Tyler Perry?

Wesley Snipes, Idris Elba, Will Smith, Jamie Foxx, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Terrance Howard, Chiwetel Ejiofor. If they wanted a comedian, I'd even pick Chris Rock over Tyler Perry. I mean really, Tyler Perry as Baxter Stockman? Why?

Okay, didn't expect that.

Not that there's something wrong with Tyler himself, it's just a very odd casting.

However, what's the point of Sacks being in the movie then? Did we really need two baxter Sockmans'?

Just clutter, clutter, and more cluttering. Yep, Platinum Dunes never ceases to impress me :roll:

TMNT 2: Madea's Mutation Situation


while i actually have nothing against it..he wasnt bad in star trek...not the casting or focus a turtle movie should have

okay. Interesting choice.

So we've got at least five villains in this now? Maybe more, if they work in Krang, and if Karai returns?

On top of eight "main" characters?

And how long is this thing supposed to be again?

Tyler Perry was good in Gone Girl and in Star Trek, so I'm cool with this.

Ooh. I kinda like it!

PD and Bayhaters aside I really think they are trying to make up for the first movie. This one already has Casey Bebop & Rocksteady and now Baxter Stockman.

As long as he doesn't have any annoying dorky quirks like Jamie Foxx had pre-Electro in Amazing Spider-Man 2, I'm good with this.

[Insert J. Jonah Jameson laugh here]

That was pretty much my thoughts too.

hey did ripp things off from ASM in the first PD flick, maybe they'll do the same again. The villain roster in Half-Shell certainly is big enough to do some scenes from ASM2.

Well if Nick can fit Turtles, Splinter, April, Casey, Shredder, Tiger Claw, Rahzar, Fishface, Bebop and Rocksteady Baxter and Karai in a 20 minute episode then Paramount won't have problems fitting, The Turtles, Splinter, April, Vern, Casey, Sachs, Shredder, Bebop and Rocksteady, Baxter and Karai in a under 2 hour movie.

We won't know the running time a month before the movie comes out next year, hopefully it be longer than the 1st movie.

If he wasn't so damn good in Gone Girl I'd have a problem with this...but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

In that case, lets hope they do with Megan Fox what Sony did with Emma Stone!

you are comparing a show who takes episodes to introduce characters and bring them back later to 1 movie with a certain run time that has to not only introduce all these new characters but have enough screen time to bring back everyone in the first film

4 turtles
splinter
shredder
sacks
karai
vern

plus

baxter
B&rR
casey

not to mention

vern model gf
and bball players we were told will have scenes

Bizzare casting choice, for sure.

Not sure what to think, suppose it would work if they do it right, though as it stands he just doesn't say Baxter to me.

Was never a character I had much interest in through any version so I can shrug it off I guess unless Baxter takes more screen time than what's reasonable.

I suppose they'll link some of April with him since she'd have known him as a kid, if we're to assume that one guy in her old videos was Baxter.

I actually do not have any problems with this. Tyler did an excellent job in Gone Girl. However, I just know Black Nerd Comedy is going to have a field day with this announcement.:roll:

Ok sorry I didn't think of that but we only got 4 new characters to introduce so far and originals from the 1st movie won't need much introduction. I expect we won't see Bebop and Rocksteady until half way though the movie and I bet Baxter will only be in a couple of scenes.

The model and basket ball players are only cameos and probably last under a minute so thats why I didn't include them.

Got you covered buddy.

His performance in "Gone Girl" was one of the few things I liked about that movie, though I should say it's the only thing of his I've seen.

Do you count the Dock worker April tries to interview in the first flick a character worth mentioning? I wouldn't even bother mentioning the basketball players that will no doubt be nothing more than a cameo.

We also don't know the capacity of any of the new characters. Casey will no doubt be a bit of a beefier role, and possibly Stockman. But Bebop and Rocksteady may not be in any more than a handful of scenes (created halfway through, 'trained' and final battle?). They may just be introduced and setup for the inevitable 3rd movie.

As long as the script is tight (wishful thinking, I know) those characters CAN be balanced. Let's be hopeful that they are/will be.

Thank you, guess my computer hates putting videos on for some reason.

Anyways, I feel Tyler is an odd choice, but he might be able to pull Stockman off. Sometimes when it comes to certain heroes and villains being adapted, the actors we disagree with pull off an awesome performance. (ex: Heath Ledger as the Joker) I only hope Tyler can pull off the role, Baxter is my favorite villain and character in the Ninja Turtles franchise and I don't want him to be screwed over.

Tyler Perry as Baxter Stockman? I can get behind that, Baxter Stockman is always a wacky character, And I think Tyler Perry can pull it off.

Having Baxter Stockman in the sequel, Solidifies the fact that, He helped create Bebop and Rocksteady.

It could also mean, The sequel will have Mousers, Which I can totally see happening, As he would use them on Master Spinter of course.

i know Tyler Perry is capable of other roles besides Madea, but its hard for me to see him, and not think THAT'S MADEA.

im betting the actor who played him in the first PD TMNT, is wondering, WTH?! :lol:

I'm so unsure about the future of this property since 2009. It just gets weirder and weirder.

I don't no much about Tyler Perry and the only movie i've seen him in, is Gone Girl and he was very good in it so hopefully he's a good choice.

Hah, gross.

He is most notably known for playing a strong, loud female character named Madea - trust me, stick with GONE GIRL, the 'Madea' films are NOT worth the price of admission, let alone a discount DVD.

I thought Stockman made a cameo in the first. Fox made a big deal about it.

Why recast the role?

I never even heard of these Madea films, I don't think they were even shown here in the UK.

But yeah I won't be watching them if they do end up on tv over here.

Tyler Perry was amazing in Gone Girl! :)

I'm just glad we finally got Baxter Stockman in a TMNT Movie regardless of the casting choice.

I hate Tyler Perry.

He doesn't have the best reputation, for certain.
