If you made a TMNT movie.
 

I always hear people repeatedly saying they want the movies a certain way, they want it dark, light hearted, kid movie, etc. So I was curious if you made a TMNT movie what directions would you take, how would you undertake the movie. I am actually curious what your guys' ideal movie would look and be like. What story lines you would go with, atmosphere. What would you do with the TMNT is you made a movie featuring and or starring them?

I couldn't resist.

I was tempted not to post this thread because of that, but I wanted something more in depth then "I want it like this, or that, or this person in it." I was hoping for actual conversations about movie concepts and writing.

it would be the best movie evar!

No way Gobo, you must tell me more about your remarkable movie. I am fully captivated by your words.

Cash, up front... :evilgrin:

I'd love to make a animated adaptation av Issue1. Something like Marvel Animation and DC animation, a DTV with a "older" target audience.

The script would have had some character development and some liberty showing a bit more of the characters and their motivations.

The style would be a early mirage style on the turtles in CGI, with some good atmospheric render and play with lights.

Or a 2D style similar to Hulk vs Wolverine

i would buy out the rights to Rocksteady and Bebopand use the hell out of them...and u can go from there..

I would make a TMNT movie Where the Turtles are adults kinda like Same As It Never Was.

If I were to make a TMNT movie and not have to worry about legalities, ratings or any other bull that could hold me back, I'd have Tromafilms do it. Anyone here familiar with them? Their body of work consists of The Toxic Avenger (1-4 with 5 on the way), Nuke 'Em High 1 & 2, Poultrygeist, Sgt. Kabuki Man NYPD, and many other schlocky, horrible, grotesque, rubber costume bearing, low-budget hell fests. They'd do something really wild with the TMNT, I bet. They'd likely have them doing "bad" teenage behaviors like impregnating girls, smoking weed, vandalism, etc, & their kills would be insanely gorey. There would be beheadings, intestines getting pulled out, all of the good stuff. I mean, I do hate things that hamper the integrity of the turtles (like t-cest and rule 34 stuff) yet at the same time, I'd love to see what Troma could do. Not on a large scale of course, just a direct to DVD level.

it would knock your Ninja Turtle socks off. :P
Ick. You make me sad. :( But, at least that's not as bad as AndrewNBC saying he wants Eliza Dushku as April. :sick: But... it comes close.

I would have a early Mirage storyline and A 87 hybrid. I would have the turtles fight baxter stockman and his mouser for most of the movie and then Have the turtles fight one of Shredder's main subordinates. Such as the foot elites or something. And then I would show shredder in the 2nd movie have mostly mirage storyline in the second.

I think I would use live action sense technology has advanced so much.
I think would have 2k3 Leo personality.
87 wise ass Raph
I would have early 87 Mikey
I think I would go with a 2k3 Don, but I think I would develope him better

As splinter I think I would go with original Origin from Mirage Comics.
I would have the foot clan be like the Mirage foot clan and have human shredder with a lex luther style to him.

I think I would definately have a pg-13 rating not to harsh for kids, but not too child like for adults.

I do like over the top horror and gore flicks. I'd watch and go to that movie... a lot.

If I made a TMNT movie, off the top of my head, I think I would have to set up a really prejudice secondary story into it all, make people actual know about giant humanoid turtles running a muck. They would go out try to help the world with only to be shut out in response. Then plug the generic story into it, make it a bit more harmful to NYC. A bit more like an actual super hero villain creating chaos among civilians and that general idea.

I think I would make Mikey like a lot younger then the other three, for frankly I think you could make Mikey's child like behavior work, you know if he was a child.

I think I would end it all the same way as it began people still being prejudice against them and not accepting them in regular society despite them risking their own lives to help everyone else.

I would prefer an animated movie or live action flick.

I think the idea would work best with teenagers and kids though. So rating would prob. be down a bit.

I think I could seriously though sit through any genre or idea of a tmnt film, mainly do to the fact the tmnt are in them. Could be something generic like I named off or something completely obscene, random, or incredibly new and refreshing. I have to say it would be nice to have a gritty movie, I'd be totally for it but frankly I also love the kid friendly version a lot.

I would love seeing like Powder said a gore flick, I would also like to see a documentary style movie, black and white film, crime and gangster film with a hard rating, a children's movie, and even a really energetic action flick. I wouldn't mind any of these. The ninja turtles seriously could be able to do any of them because of how bizarre and out there everything is in it all and how much it covers.

/end rant

If you were in a position to make a TMNT movie you wouldn't need to the buy the rights. Mirage owned Bebop & Rocksteady but continualy chose not to use them and like almost all TMNT stable of characters was part of the Nickleodeon/Viacom buy out.

Not really sure what they would bring to the table. Tokka and Rahzar had many faults but chief among them was that most of the movie was an origin story for two henchmen. They couldn't even get a decent fight, even with more modern and more mature sensibilities the same would be true of Bebop & Rocksteady. They'd be wasted characters.

The only good way I think they could be used is if a potential sequal based on the Turtles in Space arc in the D'hoonib bar Honycutt explains that the bar attracts the worst lowlifes of he galaxy and other dimensions..cut to Bebop and Rocky who take issue with Raph and have an all bar brawl with the turtles 'till the Triceratons storm the place. As the turtles chase after the Triceratons Bebop shouts "you l'il creeps, come back and fight!"

Something short like that. A nice cameo, homage to the OT but using the hell out of characters the turtles can't properly fight against would be a big no, no for me.

Good idea, I love Troma! Also, fun fact, Kevin Eastman appeared in Toxic Avenger 3 or 4, can't remember which one.

I feel exactly the same way. :)

Number 4! Citizen Toxie. I think he appeared in "Tales From The Crapper" too.

My version would be:
-directed by Wachowski brothers(felt that matrix & v for vendetta are well balanced action sci-fi films)
-CGI & visual effects by ILM,mo-cap or CGI+Jim Henson's Creature Shop's suit on actors(The industry's milestone.Star Wars,Ironman and many more)
-Action choreographed by Donnie Yen(For creativity,speed and realism in his work.Comic adaptation Dragon Tiger Gate shares similar elements with TMNT,streel brawl & MMA style in Flash Point is suitable for modern fight scene involving Casey Jones,the Purple Dragons & such.Japanese choreographer Kenji Tanigaki under his stunt team is veteran in designing action sequence for japanese shinobi action flicks,including Kamui Gaiden.)
-Sin City color tone,Concept & Art direction by AC Farley(Realistic approach)
-Ost by X-Japan(Biggest band from Japan,successfully launch their US tour;intense metal rock with classical element,east meet west fusion)
-Storyline:trilogy consist of Mirage #1-#7+microseries Me, Myself and I.
-The following cast:

Thanks.

I would make a R-rated 1987 spin-off movie, but in live-action. I figure since those who grew up with the 1987 TV series are full grown, the R-rating shouldn't be an issue. My characters would be:

The four turtles
April
Shredder
Splinter
Casey Jones
Bebop
Rocksteady
Ninja Foot Soldiers
Usagi Yojimbo
Lotus Blossum
Karai
Krang
Ninja Elite - Nice hats

Dude! I didnt know that rule/expression....! I had searched internet and I must recogninize I didnt hear about it before! !! :teek:

:lol::lol::lol::lol: LOL!! I love your cast for Splinter and Turtles.:lol::lol:
And Fugitoid!!! LOL!!

Freakin Ninja Turtle Sock Puppets. It would be the best crap ever. Just a long over top sock puppet proformance for ninja turtle. Kids could bring there fake wannabe sock puppets to the movie and be all like yeah I am cool and stuff. The sock puppets in the movie could be so cool. It could be all black and white to make it dramatic, they could use sticks and stab each other till there button eyes and stuff fall off. I would watch a ninja turtle puppet show A LOT!

Seriously, I freakin love sock puppets. Ninja turtle sock puppets would be amazing. Freakin A, I am going to make a ninja turtle sock puppet right now I swear.
