Who Should Acquire TMNT?
 

After some ruminating in a pervious thread(s), it's clear lot's of us are craving a Mirage era TMNT, written for Adults. It's also looking as though the PD film isn't going to do the kind of business that they were hoping for.

So, here's a Poll:

Who would you want to take over the Franchise?

*Edit, If i've left anything off (AMC, SHOWTIME, etc)... leave it in the comments. I didn't realize you can't edit a poll, which in hindsight makes sense :).

I think Fox is the most likely to make a Mirage era TMNT tbh.

Alot of things we want
 

There is a lot of things fans wan in a movie or in the series. The most obvious purchase is from Disney. If not Disney then Viacom is going to keep it. But really there is a lot people want and what they get. Food for thought for you uneducated people whothink otherwise.

Viacom is doing fine and the money keeps rolling in, and I like to keep it at that.

But if for the sake of a "what if" situation, I'll go with Disney.

HBO? I don't think TMNT would survive if it will only cater to adults.

Netflix? How is that even a choice?

Why no AMC?

House Of Cards? Orange is the new black? Hemlock Grove? The Killing? Community?
They produce original content these days.

I'll add it...sorry.

Oh they do? I didn't know those were produced by Netflix.

Are you suggesting a live action tv show w/ HBO, Netflix, and Fx?!

If they were weaved into the Marvel Universe then everyone who hates it right now would probably just automatically love it. But they also are scared to pull off a Daredevil reboot (in the movies), so why would they do a Turtles Movie?

Fox won't do a Deadpool movie, but I guess if they did a Turtles movie in the same tone as The Wolverine it would be amazing...

Unfortunately if this bombs badly, we won't see another Turtles movie for a LONG time.

Megan Fox seems to be pretty sure they're is going to be a sequel though.

Yep...and they're developing more content - might even be picking up a few shows from HBO, if they get bought by Time Warner/Rupert Murdoch.

Why is this being discussed so much all of a sudden anyhow (that's not a statement against making this thread), is it up for grabs or something...?

With scripted series doing so well right now, Could be movie, could be series.
It's more of a "who would do it best" scenario, based on what you know of each.

I feel bad I didn't include AMC...breaking ...bad? (wakka wakka?)

Megan hopes they do a sequel. PD is pretty risk averse, and haven't done any sequels to their "re-imaginings". Fox is just really hoping to work again.

I posited a possible Disney acquisition in another thread, and it just kind of went from there.

Yeah, I'm iffy on HBO too. With our luck, April will be turned into a stripper, Casey a bouncer and the new place to hang out wouldn't be the lair, but a strip club. Yaayyyyyyy!!!!. NOT!

Better vote or else this won't happen.

There is no way that Nickelodeon is going to give up TMNT, when the TV show is doing extremely well, But if the TMNT rights were to go to another studio. I would say with Marvel, Imagine a TMNT crossover with Marvel characters, Perhaps with Daredevil?

So did Kevin Monroe after the OW for the 2007 TMNT was a semi hit. Then shortly after that, the sequel, along with the CG company that made the movie, all went into the garbage can.

But then, strangers things have happened. Despite not so great BO results, KickAss and Fantastic Four were given sequels, after stellar DVD sales.

Gottcha. Guess it was a good topic. :)

HBO was in reference to a Game of Thrones TMNT, not True Blood.

I Op'ed about it here:
