They would use voice actors if it was live action or CGI.

*Buslady* · 03-19-2005, 11:34 AM

well I want real people in real suits with awesome voice actors.

*chants 'josh pais, josh pais...'*

but if they decide to go full CGI...look at the incredible technology we have today, it would be well done..I don't think, well i hope not, that Peter would allow crappy cheap looking CGI (beastwars& other CGI daily cartoons). I thought if we got CGI, it would be simply the current toon guys, with the same dark look and voice work...but then, throw some darker themes and maybe a little romance

for one certain friendly neighborhood turtleman...and they could put out a decent flick.

But overall, I want costumed actors.

*PizzaPower* · 03-19-2005, 11:37 AM

I hope that it is both. But I would love to see it in the costumes more now that I think about it.

I would prefer CGI Turtles simply because we've already had costumed actors. I really like a lot of CGI series (Beast Wars and (to a lesse extent) Beast Machines, War Planets, Reboot, Spider-Man, etc.) and a TMNT CGI movie could be great if done correctly.

*BigApple3AM* · 03-26-2005, 10:09 PM

I have to see suits, CGI for the jumping accross buildings is fine, but the main street fights need to be all live action. TMNT suits would not look dated anymore due to all the progress made. CGI still isn't perfected yet and you would totally be able to tell the turtles are cgi and it would almost ruin the movie. People get pissed when they can tell when somethings fake. Examples are Spider-man 1 and Catwoman.

You mention the Shrek movies, those work because they are ALL Cgi. If the turtle movie was like that well it would be cartoony and you can guarantee a PG release. Personally I'm sick of Turtles being limited to cartoons, I want a true film with at least a PG-13 release like the first movie but a little grittier. (I think the first movie was lucky to get away with a PG release). Personally I think the first movie has held up extremely well and Jim Henson did an excellent job with the suits back then. Now the suits can be blended with CGI, it might be hard but that's what these people get paid for.

Concerning the old CGI pilot remember that it was just that, a pilot. They didn't have huge amounts of funds to pull from so it was very basic and limited. Plus it was back about 5 years ago.

On an off note, this is pathetic guys, everyone who is here should sign up and give it the 10 it deserves:

..some guy sent this in from Gamers Edge

Can't get enough of the Turtles? Kevin Munroe is going to give you more.

Imagi Services President and CEO Tom Gray announces the signing of Kevin Munroe to write and direct a new CGI-animated feature-length Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will ramp-up their booming revival with an animated film that will take advantage of new technology developed since the last Turtles film was released in 1993. Now in pre-production, the film is targeted for U.S. release in spring 2007.

Kevin Munroe has done extensive animation work during the last decade including video games, television series, and original comic books. He has worked in developing both the writing and design of animated projects for companies such as Disney, Warner Bros., Cartoon Network, WWE, Fox Kids, The Henson Company, Kids WB, Dark Horse Entertainment, IDW Publishing and Nickelodeon. Besides working in all aspects of production design and storyboarding on shows such as Nickelodeon’s “Hey Arnold!,” Munroe also created, wrote, produced, designed, and directed the CGI Christmas special “Donner” for ABC. His projects have been optioned by Walt Disney Feature Animation, Stan Winston Studios, and Brett Ratner’s Rat Entertainment in addition to co-writing another Imagi feature, Cat Tale. Munroe’s writer/director deal was negotiated by Gray and Alan Grodin of Weissmann, Wolff, et al., and Brent Weinstein of UTA.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have enjoyed over 20 years of success in the U.S. and around the globe. Having shot to mainstream popularity with hit TV series, top grossing films, number one selling toys and enduring comic books, the property has generated over $6 billion in revenue. The first of the three live-action films grossed $135 million domestically, setting a seven-year box office record for independent releases. Today, the new hit TMNT TV series is in its third season with a fourth set to run through 2006 on 4Kids TV (formerly Fox Box) and the Cartoon Network in the U.S. In addition, the show is broadcast in major markets throughout Western and Eastern Europe, Asia, Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, and Australia.

The new TMNT film will be produced by Tom Gray (who guided the first Turtles trilogy through production) and Galen Walker of Imagi. Executive Producers are Francis Kao, Gary Richardson, Frederick Fierst, and Peter Laird, who co-created the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with Kevin Eastman. The picture deal was conducted by Gray and Walker of Imagi, Grodin of Weissmann, Wolff, et al., Richardson of Mirage Licensing, and Fierst of Fierst, Pucci & Kinder.

We'll have more on the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film as it becomes available! Stay tuned to Gamerz-Edge.

well if they do, do a CGI. maybe the turtles will take there bandanas off in this new movie. I hope the next flick is like the original movie. with out all the cheesy pizza stuff.

**GK Punk** · 03-29-2005, 06:26 AM

Well so I guess it's pretty much confirmed then, eh?
I'm looking forward to it, even if it is CGI (Not my favorite medium) the only thing I don't dig is that I just realized I'll be 27 by the time the movie comes out

*Voltron* · 03-29-2005, 09:08 AM

I'm excited that there's a new movie coming out, but like some have said, I am not thrilled at hearing about the CGI. I just don't think it makes for a good movie on most occasions. I have been swayed by some films though, so you never know.

It's no big deal, I'm 27 now

FALLEN ELDOR · 04-07-2005, 03:20 AM

I wonder if it will tie in with the current cartoon, continue off the older movies or be a new thing outside of any previous form.

Peanut · 04-07-2005, 05:00 AM

If it doesn't tie into any of the other storylines...I hope like hell we won't have to go through the whole introduction process again. April meeting the turtles and what not. I'm sick of that. As for it being CGI, I can't say I'm happy about it. I'll deal with it, and go see it, but I'd rather have it live action or traditional animation.

Same here, but I can live with it.

*cowabunga14* · 04-07-2005, 04:48 PM

I wonder what Steve Barron and the two other guys that directed the other TMNT movies think of a TMNT CGI film. Its a weird transition goin' from live action to CGI. Elias Koteas would be involved if the movie was live action. He was a great Casey Jones. Hopefully this movie will be as good as the first one. James Saito was a great choice for Shredder in the first movie. I wish the guys that played in the first movie would return to voice act for the CGI film. That'd be totally rad if they did.

dejawolf · 04-11-2005, 04:05 PM

cgi? i dunno, from what i see, the turtles in the new cartoon already looks like CGI with a cel shader applied. (3d that looks 2d)
futurama was already 100% CGI.

No it was'nt, it was a blend of 3-d and 2-d animation

Facts. Get them right.

dejawolf · 04-13-2005, 05:04 AM

sorry. well i mean the vehicles, backgrounds, and almost everything except for the characters were CGI.
but i think you should go an watch "the incredibles" or any other pixar movie before passing on a final judgement on CGI.
