Neither of these elements are here this time around - so I wouldn't be surprised if sales suffered as a result.

According to this twitter user, the trailer hits tomorrow - but he doesn't site a source, nor does it seem like he is involved with production, so...grain of salt???

I noticed that too, but that twitter user is from Russia, when I looked at his page, everything else is in Russian except that tweet.

Thing is, there is nothing on the AlbertaFilmRatings site to indicate that the trailer has been reviewed, and rated, which I'm assuming is required before general release - but then again, there was never any classification listing for the first BvS trailer before it released either, just variants #3 and #4 ...so I suppose its possible that it will release without warning.

Now upping it to 50$...the trailer will go up ahead of the OTHER Paramount release, The Big Short. Arnel was dropping a clue about a big movie....

yep...he's witty.

Russia's got a really cool & heavily involved underground TMNT scene, so even though I dunno that guy, I'd say there's a decent chance he does in fact know something.

The Big Short is an R rated film, and TMNT wouldn't be the target audience for that.

but still...looking forward to it.

- they are obviously retconning certain elements with the introduction of Brian Tee as Shredder, and after the comments the producers made, it was all but an admission that things could have/should have been done differently; excited to see if that actually comes to pass.

while I do think that TMNT has more fans that are willing to stick to their guns and not see a movie on the whole I think fans will turn out to see it a sequel in the hopes it will be better.

Particularly as it will include Bebop, Rocksteady and Krang. That's pretty big nostalgia bait right there. If the trailers are done right then anyone who has ever wanted the 80s cartoon in live action form, it will look like their dream come true (emphasis on look like)

I think TMNT 2 will do more or less the same numbers. Maybe a bit more, maybe a bit less depending on it's promotion. The big thing they lost was the general audience that fell in the generation that TMNT wasn't really a thing or people that just never got it in the first place, despite the belief that everyone knows and loves TMNT you'd be surprised by how many people don't. Anyone who previously might have inclined to wrote off TMNT as being too stupid or too kiddie but gave the movie a shot based on it looking like a lot of other comic book movies being treated with varying degrees of seriousness, I think the movie just reinforced every negative stereotype about TMNT for them. That's the audience that are going to struggle with.

True since hes the only one whose in a movie, but his tweet and Stephen Amell's facebook post has gotta be connected somehow with the news.

Well, I am at least looking forward to getting a look at what it'll be.

I've got a sick sense of curiosity, I guess.

[TigerClaw]

I bet the trailer was already uploaded on youtube, but unlisted, and when the time comes, They change it to public.
