New CGI movie

[The Turtle Terminator]

It can?t be worse than the 14 and 16 movies. Surely...

Personally, I didn’t think the 2016 movie was that awful, but as long as it’s based on the more serious side than the kiddy side, I’ll be content. Not giving my hopes up on that front, though.

I really won't know how optimistic I am about this until they give us an idea of the story or tone they are going for. This isn't sounding like the live-action gritty take on TMNT I'm still hoping for, but there's definitely potential here.

Yeah, I'm totally on the same wave-length

Same here, can't have any real feelings until just a little more is known, PG-13 would be nice but even a PG is better than a U. I don't feel this will be the dark and gritty people want but that doesn't mean it has to be the youngest end either. Just gonna have to wait and see what info comes.

I love TMNT 2012 so you know i'm about the CGI.

2007 film story wasn't my thing but it definitely showed the huge potential that's there.

I'm excited for this. I just hope it can win me over since Rise sure couldn't.

Lol, all I can find, so far, regarding Seth Rogen's relationship with TMNT:

I think it is smart for Nickelodeon to do a CG animated movie like 2007?s ‘TMNT’ film. Since Seth Rogan is involved I‘d imagine there will still be a large amount of humor.

All in CG? I mean... we already got a movie in 2007 and a full series in 2012 all in CG. What can they bring that is new? Unless its a PG 13 CG wich was never done. But they wont. How can you sell figures with a PG 13 CG movie? I need more info. But the news for now is just... meh.

We've had 5 live action movies and 1 CG movie and 2007 movie wasn't by Nickelodeon though. So what else can they do apart from Live action and CG? an animated movie? but Netflix is already doing that with Rise and I don't fancy seeing a animated movie on the big screen.

80s nostalgia has been a thing since the early 2000's, it just hasn't stopped for some reason, 90s nostalgia came but it didn't kill 80s nostalgia, it gave it another lump of air since now people mix and match the decades. Damn, let that decade die.

Well by that logic...We've already had 3 live action movies and 1 live action show, we've alredy had 3 traditional 2d animated series, we've already had 2 live action with cg movies, we've already had a 2D movie.

I don't even know what you would want, a 4D animated show?

2007 are my favorite TMNT designs so far, whether 2d or 3d, I know some don't like them but I loved them. I hope they don't stray too far from them.

As long as there are no nostrils or noses on the Turtles, that alone will make it better than the Bay films.

I was waiting for this post.

Its funny seeing people thinking that the movie will be at the level of Sausage Party when it most certainly will not. Seth Rogen has done family friendly before. Nickelodeon is involved. They are not gonna let there IP be filled with potty humor and all that stuff.

One of the Turtles probably Mikey is gonna provide most of the humor. But I would love to see Raph have the sense of humor he had from FW. I miss that Raph.

Ehhh... I don't think a CGI movie is the way to go at all (plus, they've tried that)... but I love these guys. Their humor doesn't always hit, but it mostly does for me. Sometimes hysterically.

Their niche is like "guilty pleasure comedy." Everything they've done has what I would consider to be "heart," though. If TMNT has to go the comedic route, this is the route and hands I'd probably trust it most to.

Pretty much this. It's an odd choice, but not necessarily bad. We can probably be guaranteed a bit of edge & warmth, & gags that will actually land. Might be cool.

If this means the Platinum Dunes movie has been cancelled, it's great news!

God it seriously pisses me off that the 4Kids series always has to be the forgotten version of TMNT:

"Following Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles launch in 1984 as a comic book, it was followed up by a hit 1987-1996 animated TV series, as well as a billion-dollar selling retail juggernaut across toys, apparel, video games, and more. New Line released three live-action movies between 1990-1993 which grossed $323.2M WW.

Nickelodeon brought the franchise to life again in 2012 with the CG-animated series Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and then reimagined the Heroes in a Half-Shell with the 2D-animated series Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles last year." - https://deadline.com/2020/06/teenage...es-1202973764/

I'm sorry but Nickelodeon is NOT responsible for bringing the franchise "back to life".

I agree with you. But no pizza jokes, "Cowabunga", no Bebop or Rocksteady or Krang, so... to the simpletons it may as well not have existed at all. And it's so much better than anything Nick has done with the property, you can be sure that it'll never be mentioned again because it would make their current garbage look even worse by comparison.

2K3 was the last iteration that wasn't Highly Goddamn Questionable and probably the last thing like that we'll ever get, but... we don't make those decisions. I agree with you though. That was the last version of the franchise that made me do anything but sigh, the last "new version" that I really, really liked and even loved at times. A pity it's doomed to be entirely forgotten, all because it just wasn't silly enough and "TMNT is supposed to be silly."

I really wish we'd all appreciated it more at the time since it's as good as things will ever be again. It deserves more than to be the "black sheep" of the franchise, but that's exactly what it is. Even Next Mutation gets brought up more, and even spoken of fondly in many cases, compared to 2K3, which gets no mention at all and when it does it's "The Boring Version". If that doesn't tell you exactly what a bunch of glue-sniffers this goddamn fanbase is packed with, I don't know what will.

Technically they are. There wasn't much of anything going on in 2009 pre-sale. A comic, barely. Nothing really in the pipeline but a movie that probably wasn't getting made at the trajectory of the time (the "gritty, Batman Begins-like" Fusco script, etc.).

Now, was what Nickelodeon pulled out of the ground any good? No. What they pulled out was like a fetid corpse, some kind of wight, rife with rainbow bandannas and cowabunga and Beebop.
