Interview w/ one of the writers. Talks about Saki/origin/future etc.
 

Some notable questions from the interview:

There are many origin stories for the turtles where did you guys go with this one?
Andrew Nemec: We thought it was important to create our own version but that lives within the bounds of the stories. We didn’t do anything overtly cooky. We wanted to add elements of newness that can take you on the journey instead of coming in and saying oh I already know the story.

Will there be any mention of Oroku Saki?
Andrew Nemec: Perhaps, perhaps. Without giving away too much my perhaps mean, perhaps there will or perhaps there won’t. There’s a lot more to come with this franchise and a lot more stories to be told that we want to be telling. You’ll see a real movie be we’re also setting a table for future stories.

Did you throw some easter eggs in?
Andrew Nemec: We kept it pretty self contained but there are some things in there that if you’re looking and paying attention you’ll see.

Are we going to want to stay after the credits?
Andrew Nemec: Perhaps, that’s always a tough question.

Is it true that Splinter will be in this movie?
Andrew Nemec: I can tell you that Splinter will be in this movie. He is an important component in the dynamic of the Turtles themselves. It’s still a very much a story of teenagers and the land of teenager stories and without Master Splinter it wouldn’t work.

I agree, but somehow its going to be spun into something negative to fuel someones ego.

GREAT FIND...that picture of the PIZZA HUT box at the end of the interview, Im guessing comes from press kit.

TurtlesTrailer.com
Secret code: OOZE

Its just another outlet for the trailer, but hey, its nice to see the marketing train to start taking motion.

People either like that approach or they don't. For those that fall into the latter group it is a negative thing.

I'm pretty sure the majority of the Marvel movies and Nolan's Batman Begins prove it is a very popular route to go down.

Michael Bay is involved in this film how much of an influence does he have?
Andrew Nemec: Michael has been certainly giving his notes but he has a very good sense of action, he has a very good sense of entertainment. I think on those influences you’ll feel Michael Bay’s hand.

Oh, OK then.

:lol:

Yeah. That's it.

Basic stock interview responses.

I know they can't reveal too much at this time but it does seem a waste of question to ask if Splinter is in the movie. It is like asking if the turtles walk on two legs or four.

Awesome find. :o

"I was one of a team of writers and we pretty much just did stuff. You know? Maybe there'll be some more stuff later. Which version of the script is that?"

Ugh. What is he even talking about?

Super Hero Hype has another interview with that screenwriter here.

Here is some of the interesting bits.

Thanks for the link. But... this interview is terrible.

All he does is answer "maybe yes maybe no" to everything. Total fluff piece.

the thing I'm getting from that Interview is that, We could possibly see Dimension X in a sequel.

So they're Kung Fu Turtles

That is not what sais are for, but I can forgive that on the basis that Eastman and Laird made the same mistake. So, from all representations of the Turtles over the years, that's fair.

Kung Fu Ninja Turtles :)

That interview didn't really tell me jack **** other than the fact that they know which turtle has for a weapon.

That writer was vague as hell and just seemed to dodge questions for the majority of it, what a waste of time.

Another example of Hollywood not giving a **** enough to do their research and confusing the Chinese art of Kung Fu with Japanese martial arts (see the Karate Kid remake).
