The NEW Official Trailer Discussion

[sethmartin]

The real reason Shredder is white in this is because do to the steep budget, paramount is banking on the overseas market (China really) for a large sum of the profits. They are worried that China isn't going to respond well to an Asian villain. Not saying that's the way it SHOULD be. Just saying that's their logic. The only way to do a true to source turtles movie is to make it cheap and low budget. That way you aren't banking over 50% of your grosses on an audience that might never have heard of TMNT. This worked back in the 90s when average movie budget was way under 50 mil, but now, they need that overseas money to break even. I'm excited to see this movie, but I'm also excited for other doors it might open for the turtles. I want to see a traditionally animated film version of the first two volumes of the original comic book series.

I guess it's after subway fight, maybe Raph lost his sais like in the 1990 movie...
And look at the size of those sais it's as long as her thighs...

Its hard to tell, But you can see that the shot appears to be broad daylight, If it were in the Subway, It would look dark.

Sai are usually the length of a person's forearm. Those are not that big actually.

The original movie open up 25Mill and ended up breaking records for an independent film(130Mill US), the 2007 movie opened up a 24Mill and then dropped off drastically making only apprx. 54Mill (us). Each film since the original has declined in sales and to your point if it doesn't make money (flops) they wont make films. 07 had the potential but because of a uninspired plot people other than turtle fans didn't really see it. Nick sees the potential that's why they bought the franchise, this is nick's shot. TMNT stops making money TMNT will get dumped. Remember history tells us turtlemania can only last but so long failed project after failed project the turtles will go on hiatus again. We need success on all levels (cartoon, comics, movies) for it to stay relevant.

I never said we would get a reboot soon. I said if this movie were to fail, we would get a reboot sooner than we would if this movie spawned sequels. And Nick isn't going to ignore an incredibly successful cartoon and ignore a property because their attempt at a film didn't work. Again, the previous movie gap was during a time where pretty much everything TMNT-related was tanking hard, with the exception of one cartoon project that dipped in quality before it could revive the franchise. If this movie flops (something I've never even claimed is going to happen, BTW) it just means Nick focuses all their attention on the cartoon for a while before thinking about making another movie.

I agree there are alot of scary ideas, designs, and things being thrown around but it's no different that any other version. Come on just think about it from the original comic to the OT.. Change of origin (shredder created splinter and the turtles in OT), "race bending", asian shredder no accent, New characters (krang, BB&RS), foot soldiers, april.. everything changed but why is that acceptable then but not now?

This question doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. I like plenty of versions of the Ninja Turtles, but that doesn't mean that I approve of 100% of the decisions that went into them. The pros outweigh the cons quite heavily in most cases. This version, however, is getting practically nothing right, and so I can't support it. It's not that they dare change the turtles that bothers me, it's that they've chosen terrible changes.

Surely you have facts/evidence to back up that claim?



If not it's nothing more than mere a rumor.

I also wonder if the Still is from the new trailer that's coming out?

It's not a rumor. That is a big part of the movie industry now - not just with TMNT. International box office is more important these days.

Here's the full sized HD version of the new still. On the dailynews article of it if you delete the width, height part of the address you get the full 3000x2000 copy of the image instead of just the 400x600 tiny one.

There's a little interview with Will arnett about the movie.

“The Turtles were kind of dormant in the popular culture for a while, but then a few years ago, when Nickelodeon unveiled the animated series, my two young sons started watching and became increasingly pro-Turtle by the day,” says Arnett, who turns 44 on May 4. “By the time the movie came around for me, I was kind of immersed in it.”

Arnett got huge Dad props by taking his boys, now ages 3 and 5, to the New York sets while the movie was being shot last year. He plays TV cameraman Vernon Fenwick, who helps Raphael, Michelangelo, Leonardo, Donatello and reporter April O’Neil (Megan Fox) fight the evil Shredder (William Fichtner) and his minions in the Michael Bay-produced adventure.

“They always wanted to see Shredder, all the different characters,” he recalls. “They’d come and they’d watch rehearsals, especially when we were doing big action scenes. It was cool to share that experience with them.

“It was one of those weird, personal life converging with professional life things in a very organic way, which was kind of similar to my experience on ‘The Lego Movie’ as well,” Arnett happily acknowledges. “But now I’m gonna have to start thinking of some new, big, follow-up tricks, y’know? I think I’m just gonna let their interests dictate what kinds of parts I do from now on.”

This obviously follows the part on the Brothers tv spot when Raph ellbows a foot next to the van.

Judging by past experiences.. It wouldn't surprise me

that kind of argueable here character has always been and anti hero not fully bad not fully good, and if it has ties to the nick show She could very well be either shredders daughter or Splinters, But shes always been in the middle ground

A couple years after that another reboot and maybe that series can meet all of the 2014 movie doubters contradiction checklist. An scenario like the spiderman/ batman trilogy that was successful and then followed up shortly by another reboot.

I feel the exact same way. Im hoping we get a MASSIVE trilogy in the next 6 years : )

O HELL YA!! I think Tyler is gonna create an awesome score and I cant wait to listen to the whole thing

my hope is that this new trailer will continue to build on the hype still floating around - all i know is that im excited, and for the few of us on these boards looking forward to this film, it is an exciting time.

for those who arent...its just another day.

Agreed dude. Im pretty confident that this next trailer will DEF. add to the hype surrounding this film already. I cant wait for that moment! The second the trailer gets released its like pandemonium lol.

I agree with you Seth. I know I read it somewhere from Either Bay or Liebesman that they were worried about offending people. That it has happened with certain films. I think maybe Iron man and some other Superhero film, I could be wrong ill have to check and find the Article. I would have liked to see Saki but who knows if we will or not. Maybe there will be a plot twist. I do know that Fitchner is one of my all time favorite actors and I think he will do a great job playing this villain.
