When do you think the next reboot will be?
 

Just wondering my moneys on 2028!

Depends. Hopefully sooner rather than later but I wouldn't be at all suprised if a few years from now we see TMNT (2014) on those lists of movies so bad it killed the franchise.

No one will want to touch it now. Of course this weekend could be a crazy upset, but that's doubtful.

I think there are two possible outcomes:

1. Ciro gets his shot at a big screen version.
2. Disney see's an opening and buys Viacom.

This is what I'm afraid of. If this one doesn't generate enough box office to get a sequel then we might not see another live action TMNT movie....ever.

F'n Platinum Dunes.

Noooo.. not that long. I don't want to be the nearly unmentionable age I will be. :lol: In that case I hope TMNT are portrayed as grown.

I dunno, I'd rather see new stories really rather than continuous reboots. If someone portrayed them 35-year-olds and told a story from that point in their lives, that would be cool.


Please no, Disney, don't you dare. I like you (Tangled!), but no... (Blah what would happen to Nick programming at that point as it is.)

Why are we even having this discussion when the movie hasn't even been released yet. Why not give this reboot a shot before just casting it aside as trash. I don't think this fan base will ever be satisfied with anything they put on screen because all anyone seems to wanna do is bitch about everything they can think of.

Officially this Friday

Maybe just stay out of the thread if you don't like the topic?
There's plenty of fighting all over the board, and i'm as guilty as the next fan, but seriously, many have lost hope, and that's not going to change.

They soured the milk from the start, and they will not get a cent from me to perpetuate this mistake.

Also the RT meter keeps falling, so it's not just "cranky fans". Failure is inevitable.

considering we'll get a trilogy of this version, TMNT 2 2016, TMNT 3 2018 Okay maybe 2025, and they'll look like this (Hopefully) Lou dude, i would really love this look!

I know people keep saying Disney, but is it possible that maybe WB might snatch it back, their New Line distributed the previous live action flicks.

That's the thing. The new TMNT "film" has go to hit this middle ground of box office where it's still proving itself to be a bit of a moneymaker, but not enough for them to want to do any kind of direct sequel to it. That's what I've got my fingers crossed on.

With a corporate property like TMNT is now, though (remember, there is no singular owner or owners or caretakers of any kind... just a board of executives, financiers and investors now), the odds that they would ever let a real filmmaker with a passion for the TMNT anywhere near it without a ton of red tape and sticky notes from Playmates and focus groups are slim to none.

Best hope apart from rolling the dice on what would emerge from another reboot at Paramount would be to hope the whole property changes hands again in the foreseeable future. You know, after Ciro's cartoon eventually fizzles and Viacom has made pretty much all the money there is to be made with "film" and toys. Disney would be interesting to see what they could do with the TMNT... particularly with the comics. Obviously the license would not be getting renewed with IDW and Marvel would likely be tasked with some manner of TMNT comics.

Disney is more likely I think, as they've made these types of acquisitions recently. Also the potential Daredevil crossover would be epic, so one can only hope.

I don't want Disney to get their grubby little hands on TMNT, if they do it be the end of TMNT. Disney killed Gargoyles and I don't wan't to see it happen to TMNT.

But I wonder, if the movies fail at the BO, but the show and the toys keep doing gang busters, what would be the incentive for them to sell TMNT?

Doubt that would be the case. TMNT is a massive money maker for Nick right now. Disney would just hand it down to Marvel, and we'd get something, er...interesting, to say the least.

Thread didn't come across to me as intending to be of that angle, so maybe we can try to skip that sort of debate in this one...

Hell no! if Disney got their hands on TMNT.... i mine as well kiss any hopes of a Mirage inspired movie goodbye, so No!

They'd TOTALLY bring back Venus! And she'd be a PRINCESS!

You can't be Disney and female without being princess.

A massive pay day. The cost of the Nick toon is very high per episode, in it's current form. If Disney acquires all of Nick, the CEO gets a massive payday.

Which is all that Jack-off cares about. He's been so brutal.

Why would that be?

Remember Disney did Tron. Wasn't a huge success, but still.

Disney isn't the 60's-90's disney anymore.

I'd bet if they did take over, Mirage is exactly what we'd get. as well as a version of the 2012 show, and maybe a relaunch of the OT... they do multiple versions of each property - just look at Avengers.

Sorry for the double post.
