The movie year that could have been...

Just imagine...nestled in between The Matrix Reloaded, The Matrix Revolutions, LOTR 3, T3 rise of the Machines, Xmen 2, the Hulk, Daredevil, League of Extrordinary Gentlemen, Innocence: Ghost in the Shell 2, etc could have been "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" the John Woo cgi flick.

Yeah this is old news, but some folks gotta know just how cool 2003 almost came to truly being the year of TMNT. I mean we still have the new cartoon, figures, upcoming comic, video games, merchandise, etc...but man...just look at that screenshot! Totally looks on par with Square's Final Fantasy. As Ralph said in the first TMNT film:"Damn".

Well the movie got scrapped because they couldn't sell it to any studios. The companies probably tough that TMNT can't be popular enough again. But if this new cartoon is a success, A fourt movie has a good chance to be made.

I dont know if you've seen the CGI in motion (instead of that screenshot)

But how the sHELL can you conmpare is with the CGI quality of Final Fantasy
It looks nice, but if you watch the clip, then it's not so wonderfull...lines around the characters, and not so much detail..

If you actually only saw the screenshot that you linked in your post then go see the CGI clip on the official site

Oh yeah speaking of those CGI clips, where can I find them? I know they're on the offical site but I can't find it. I want to show it to other people.

Well, I bet what you're seeing is the quality of the video itself, not the computer graphics. Since it had to be a small file, the video quality had to be sacrificed, so it looks pixelated and grainy. Now if you look at the stills, that's a different story! You're right in the sense that the lines still exist, but they're hardly noticeable to me.

From what I understand, John Woo was never assigned to direct the project (as according to Peter Laird himself in an interview at www.ninjaturtlesnetwork.com )

Sparvid · 01-24-2003, 11:39 AM

Wow, I didn't know there were interviews there!

Oooh no no, the pic in the link I believe was from the now sadly canned cgi film. That gosh awful 'cgi' 3 minute clip that was on the net was from that proposed cgi cartoon. Yeah, I'd be like 'good riddance' if the cgi film was to be of that embarassing quality we saw on those clips. Two totally different projects that met the same fate.

**Karpo_007** · 01-24-2003, 03:48 PM

There are no pictures about the CGI film. I doubt that even script was made.

cable04 · 01-24-2003, 03:59 PM

i know http://www.ninjaturtles.com has some pics from a CGI film, and some vid clips
in the main menu, they have CGI STILLS and something else about CGI MOVIE CLIPS or something
i don't know the direct link

**Karpo_007** · 01-24-2003, 04:05 PM

Yeah the pics are from the promo of the CGI animated series wich they tried to sell.

Man you learn something new every day! Apologies, you were right...damn. And I thought that one pic was a still from the movie....grrrr...

So wait, does *anything* exist for the TMNT cgi film? As in an interview Corey Feldman said he was spose to be doing some voice stuff and that they had done some stuff with the project but it got canned.
