Corey Feldman To Possibly Return To TMNT Films

[Andrew NDB]

I think it'd have made a lot more sense for Feldman to voice Don in Turtles Part 4 than Part 5. Part 4, it was actually kind of supposed to be a continuance of Parts 1-3. Part 5 seems set to be some kind of a strange quasi-Fred Wolf reboot, so it might be weird to have carry-overs from the previous movie-verse.

Do you consider the IDW series a strange quasi-FW reboot, too?

Gah...

[Bjarni]

I don't think 2 or 4 suffered without Feldman.
I would love to have him involved, just like I would love to see a bunch of people from Ernie Reyes Jr. to Vanilla Ice somehow show up. Although I understand completely if with a reboot, the producers would want to do something completely new and different.

Either way, I just hope they do something entertaining. That's all they have to do in the end to please the audience.

Not so much the "strange" part, but yeah.

It worked for Judi Dench, who played M to two Bonds.

Agreed. The Fred Wolf influence on the IDW series is very visible.
It's the comic a lot of people have actually been waiting for. an almost Grimdark retelling of the Fred Wolf cartoon.

Actually, IDW seems to be more of a mix of Fred Wolf, Mirage, and Archie alltogether, though it seems to be increasingly be looking FWish as time goes on.

As for Corey Feldman, no problem since its his voice that does a Turtle, and either Don, Raph, or Mikey could suit him. It can generate good buzz about a returning cast member, much like it does elsewhere. All I care for is a good movie regardless of what universe its influenced by.

[Bjarni]

If I was honestly doing the casting, I wouldn't mind having Feldman do the voice of Michelangelo...

Except she's iconic and a well respected actress not some fat washed up child star whose career as of late has mainly been people mocking or pitying him.

BOOM, you got 'im, man.

[Jester]

Is that your thing now?

[Cure]

Just been so many burns lately, man.

[Jester]

God, how this logic bothers me. "We can't hire this guy to be in a mainstream movie because this guy isn't in a mainstream movie".
It's hogwash. People said the same thing about Jackie Earle Haley for years until someone decided to let him do his job on the big screen.

And Feldman isn't fat. He's never been fat. You might be thinking about the late Corey Haim who had nothing to do with TMNT.

The only difference here is Haley is talented....

[ZeoRed]

Sorry but I think having feldman come back would be awesome! Same thing with Robby. Other than that i don't really care.

Before 2006, the majority would disagree with you or not even know who that was.

Given the right role, Feldman could surprise the world. I'm not saying Feldman is the best actor in the world. But you can barely judge his acting chops with the work he currently gets.

[Spitfire]

I still don't think Haley is talented. He stood out in Watchmen only because all the other actors were completely horrid. His Freddy was terrible and I've never seen him in anything else where he stood out.

Uh...we must have completely different opinions on acting then, because I think he did amazing in both films. I had low hopes for anyone but Englund playing Freddy, but Haley knocked it out of the park, and actually made the character "scary" again - a feat that I think Englund could have done obviously, but I fear there would still have been some tainting in people's minds from some of the goofy crap in the original series.

[Spitfire]

Freddy was never really "scary" to begin with. He always had a sense of humor about what he did which made him more interesting and a lot more sadistic. Haley made the character boring and generic. He brought nothing to the role and he has almost no presence. Lifeless.

Opinions though. Honestly mine have changed quite a bit over the past few years. The more I study acting and deconstruct movies the more my opinions change. I used to like Christian Bale's Batman now I think he gives the weakest performance in the series. People have different standards when watching films. We all pay attention to different things.
