Well, to try and erase the memory of TMNT 2, 3, and TNM(which was packages as 'the fourth TMNT film' on video oddly enough)
Im thinking of some ingredients that would ensure a new live action TMNT would be up there with the great dark and edgy original film.

1. Jim Henson Creature Shop: I cannot fathom a new TMNT without these guys. With a mix of their suits, creatures, animatronics, and puppetry...sure cgi is all the rage, and ya can have that too, but at its core ya gotta have this. They made the first film be the great film it was. I would be greatly saddened if the TMNT were cg'd against live action like Kangaroo Jack or Rocky and Bulwinkle.

2. New styled 'Matrix' action and wirefu. Fromt he cinematography of the fight scenes in Brotherhood of the wolf to the upcomign Quentin Tarantino film Kill Bill...youve gotta have that envigorating newer HK styled wire work, or at least that style of choreography. Forget the days of 'oh, we cant show em using weapons or much violence' crap of the cartoon and later films.

3. Great writing. Whoever wrote the first film was a genuis. It stands as one of the best TMNT things ever, and one of my top 3 fave films ever.
I have no idea what a new film should be about. It should NOT be called 'TMNT 4' or anything. Also, no time portal, space aliens, or other silly plots. And a New York setting i a must.

So those are the 3 I can think of...oh and cinematography! That is a definate must.
