Third film or reboot?

*LeotheLateBloomer* · 06-17-2016, 11:02 AM

So with OotS failure at box office, do you think we'll see either a third film or a reboot?

*Candy Kappa* · 06-17-2016, 12:59 PM

Reboot, I really hope we get a reboot.

Preferably by someone else then Platinum Dunes.

*plastroncafe* · 06-17-2016, 01:01 PM

If Spider-man can get a reboot every few years, surely the turtles can too.

*neatoman* · 06-17-2016, 01:03 PM

Does anyone even want a third film?

*IndigoErth* · 06-17-2016, 01:04 PM

I'm not even sure. I'd like future reboots either way, but I'm afraid a reboot would take longer to happen after this than I'd like, and darn it I don't want to be 'old' by then.

Yet a third is sounding rather iffy now, given the numbers.

I suppose if a third happened they'd have to already have something up their sleeve that they really wanted to do badly enough (or continue with - because talk about a waste of time and effort even creating a Technodrome and Krang that's hardly used) and be willing to take this blow and reevaluate what they're doing and try just once more. But people who mostly just see dollar signs... I can't see how they'd even be willing to.

Then again, I wish the passionate, serious people would stay behind while the money focused decide to bail out, and bring in better, who want better, to replace them. If only.

A little sore that they didn't replace the writers and get people who could write a very solid story. I don't really care about the rest of it, but I'm sad for these Turtles that they got just this ONE time to be focused on and have a better performance and that may be it for them. Rather unfair. They got gypped right alongside us, in large part thanks to the prior film.

TMNT2OotS already felt like a Experience Bij test, I can't phantom how a third PD movie would be.

Why was Spiderman rebooted? Weren't the early-2000's films successful?

As I understand it, if more films weren't made Sony would lose the film rights to Disney.

Spider-Man 3 being terrible is what caused the reboots.

This. Spiderman didn't need a reboot anywhere near as badly as the TMNT do.

Do producers really care for such things as long as a film brings at least the money it's excepted to make?

Yes. Batman & Robin made almost 240 million worldwide but was hated by virtually everyone and was the cause of Triumphant getting canned thus leading into the Bale Batman reboot.

According to Wikipedia, Batman & Robin is from 1997 and then Batman Begins in 2005. At least eight years between.

There was a movie inbetween them called Triumphant that was canned because of the negative reaction to the Clooney one.

They do when they lose Raimi and Toby over the **** show they went through on number 3.

*Bry* · 06-17-2016, 01:53 PM

Sorry, guys. This series is a lost cause. Just start over with new producers and creators.

(Also, hey, bring back ReBoot while you're at it!)

Quality > quantity. I'd gladly wait 8 years for a good movie if the alternative is more Platinum Dunes.

They are!

And I vote for reboot, as much as I enjoyed the boys as the Turtles themselves.

*Original TMNT Cartoon Fan* · 06-17-2016, 01:59 PM

Or, if no reboot, why not create something linking the turtles and Splinter to Hamato Yoshi somehow?

*Powder* · 06-17-2016, 06:19 PM

Anybody ever see the film Ninja Assassin? Copy that movie, change the character names, & switch out the human protag with 4 mutant turtles. Done.

I was just thinking about that movie today at work and thought wouldn't it be amazing if TMNT was treated like that. The ninja in that movie were eerie, and threatening as hell. That's the way I'd want the foot clan to be.
