Third film or reboot?
 

So with OotS failure at box office, do you think we'll see either a third film or a reboot?

Reboot, I really hope we get a reboot.

Preferably by someone else then Platinum Dunes.

If Spider-man can get a reboot every few years, surely the turtles can too.

Does anyone even want a third film?

I'm not even sure. I'd like future reboots either way, but I'm afraid a reboot would take longer to happen after this than I'd like, and darn it I don't want to be 'old' by then.

Yet a third is sounding rather iffy now, given the numbers.



I suppose if a third happened they'd have to already have something up their sleeve that they really wanted to do badly enough (or continue with - because talk about a waste of time and effort even creating a Technodrome and Krang that's hardly used) and be willing to take this blow and reevaluate what they're doing and try just once more. But people who mostly just see dollar signs... I can't see how they'd even be willing to.

Then again, I wish the passionate, serious people would stay behind while the money focused decide to bail out, and bring in better, who want better, to replace them. If only.


A little sore that they didn't replace the writers and get people who could write a very solid story. I don't really care about the rest of it, but I'm sad for these Turtles that they got just this ONE time to be focused on and have a better performance and that may be it for them. Rather unfair. They got gypped right alongside us, in large part thanks to the prior film.

TMNT2OotS already felt like a Experience Bij test, I can't phantom how a third PD movie would be.

Spiderman
 

Why was Spiderman rebooted? Weren't the early-2000's films successful?

As I understand it, if more films weren't made Sony would lose the film rights to Disney.

Spider-Man 3 being terrible is what caused the reboots.

This. Spiderman didn't need a reboot anywhere near as badly as the TMNT do.

Do producers really care for such things as long as a film brings at least the money it's excepted to make?

Yes. Batman & Robin made almost 240 million worldwide but was hated by virtually everyone and was the cause of Triumphant getting canned thus leading into the Bale Batman reboot.

Wikipedia
 

According to Wikipedia, Batman & Robin is from 1997 and then Batman Begins in 2005. At least eight years between.

There was a movie inbetween them called Triumphant that was canned because of the negative reaction to the Clooney one.

They do when they lose Raimi and Toby over the **** show they went through on number 3.

Sorry, guys. This series is a lost cause. Just start over with new producers and creators.

(Also, hey, bring back ReBoot while you're at it!)

Quality > quantity. I'd gladly wait 8 years for a good movie if the alternative is more Platinum Dunes.

They are!

And I vote for reboot, as much as I enjoyed the boys as the Turtles themselves.

Hamato Yoshi
 

Or, if no reboot, why not create something linking the turtles and Splinter to Hamato Yoshi somehow?

Anybody ever see the film Ninja Assassin? Copy that movie, change the character names, & switch out the human protag with 4 mutant turtles. Done.

I was just thinking about that movie today at work and thought wouldn't it be amazing if TMNT was treated like that. The ninja in that movie were eerie, and threatening as hell. That's the way I'd want the foot clan to be.

Yeah, it's a favorite of mine. I always thought it'd make a great blueprint for a TMNT film, but never more so than having watched it a few weeks after OOTS.

You've got the ninja clan origin flashbacks every so often, the cycle of revenge aspect, training/stealth sequences, a young woman investigating who gets caught in the mix & saved/befriended by the titular ninja, a police force who walks the fence, super creepy/violent shadow dwelling ninjas, a little dash of realistic humor that doesn't break the flow, it really has that perfect turtles formula. Interestingly, I noticed this time around that two of the musical cues are really similar to Shredder's Suite & Tokka/Rahzar's theme. Pairing that with how the story beats compare I have to wonder if its creative team wasn't a big fan of TMNT.

YES!

That would have been so sweet.

Reboot, full stop. Kick Platinum Dunce(I'm so funny and clever) right the f*ck out and hire actually talented people.

Redesign, recast, reboot.

That has nothing to do with it. Spider-Man 3 made a boatload of money. It was rebooted because Rami couldn't get the script together in time for a fourth film.

And TASM2 caused a reboot because of the leaked emails.

Anyway, REBOOOOOOOOOOOOT

Ninja Assassin-esque is probably an unrealistic hope, even if we get a Mirage back-to-basics film reboot. But it would be cool.

TMNT should be a live action series, not a feature film; the films are in too much of a rush. A full season on Netflix is in order.

Transformers crossover! Let's do it! What's left to lose at this point?

Brain cells.

So many brain cells.

I sat through T4 in theatres. At some point, I just had to start closing my eyes and covering my ears. It came close to becoming physically painful.

You're a stronger person than me.

I stopped after 2.

I kinda want a third movie just to see what they come up with next. The freaky designs of the Turtles have grown on me. Hell, I even liked Megan Fox as April this time around.

Personally, I would love to see Steve Barron come back to direct the TMNT movies again.

Not me. He isn't big enough these days to not be a studio puppet. And studio puppet he would be.

If they were to bring back Mr. Barron, I'd like it if they could go back to the continuity of the original live action films and show those Turtles 50 years or so later, like a sort of "Future Turtles" storyline.

Wow, Ive avoided this part of the drome for awhile after the results of the first movie, now I see why.

I honestly liked the movie. The first one wasnt good, but I think the second one did a lot right. The turtles designs without all the extra junk (chest guard, sunglasses, toothpick, random garb) are solid and the faces of the turtles are really expressive, which i thought was one of the best aspects. I would love to see a third movie, where they can really develop the now existing characters. The first introduced the turtles, splinter, shredder, and april, the second introduced krang, casey and bebop and rocksteady. I think a third movie could really do well now that theyve gotten everything established.

I would hate to see a reboot, because I imagine that would take a very long time, with redesigning and recasting everything, and then wed have to go through another introduction to everyone again

lol...."I liked the new film...."

Megan Fox
 

Who'll Megan Fox play then?

Well that's simple, April's dad had a photo of Mikaela when he drew her with the magic pen.

I gave up after that one, at the very least 1 was decent and the only one worth watching if you decide to give these movies a chance.
