Filming Of New Movie To Begin In April In New York! - Page 2

*ToTheNines* · 01-13-2013, 03:31 PM

Dark Knight was filmed in Chicago.

liugeaux · 01-13-2013, 03:52 PM

The Dark Knight Rises was filmed various places including Pittsburg, Los Angeles and New Jersey with the the aerial footage being taken of NY. I really wish they would have done a better job hiding the fact that they were filming NY too. Gotham is not new york.

Honestly I'm scared this movie is going to be terrible or do terribly in box office. Maybe both aha. I just feel like its ridiculously hard to try and get this done the "right way". Either way I'll be there on opening day with my fingers crossed.

It's such a tough movie to make. Do you make sure it appeases fans like us who are in our 20's and some 30's, but grew up with the original movie. Or do you make it appealing to the kids who are discovering the turtles for the first time through the new Nickelodeon show. Based on some of the stuff I've read (not referring to that god awful draft from January last year) it seems like they want a more action oriented movie, which to me says maybe it will be more like the first film (turtles using their weapons during fights, a little darker, more inspired by the original comic). Whether we get a cool action mirage inspired movie or a funny more campy kids movie, I'll be happy so long as they pick one and stick to it. I can't stand when a movie tries to appeal to too many things and has no identity or tone (take the opening scene of Revenge of the Sith as the prime example).

The '90s movies had a separate New York unit to provide stills/background shots, as it will be likely that the majority of the filming will take place in multiple studios, or one predominant location with a side of stock scenes. And its definitely feasible to start in April and be ready by the following May based upon the production schedule of the '90s movies. I just don't want this to be too similar to the 1990 movie, but more entertaining with popular characters such as Krang, Baxter Stockman, Leatherhead, and Bebop & Rocksteady that will surely draw fans of the OT. But this movie makes me nervous since it will have the biggest media impact on the Nick era. If its a box office smash, expect a repeat of 1990-91 will Turtle merchandise everywhere, perhaps even exceeding the merchandise of the golden era. If it does poorly, this will draw away all but the loyal diehards and cause the Nick era to end their cartoon and cause most merchandise to tank. Fasten your seatbelts fans, its likely going to be the most critical moment in the franchise's lifespan to propelling if the TMNT brand will be eternal like Batman or fade away like Woody Woodpecker.

Question: Does the movie have anything to do with the nickelodeon series?

Not remotely. And entirely different teams... I don't think the Nick team has any idea what the movie team is doing, or vice versa.

Though to be fair, no one has any idea what has resulted from the latest rewrite that shut down production a few months back.

No, it’s completely separate.

Yes, because one misstep will tank the entire property, despite other successful elements. Come on man, use your head. You say a lot, but it doesn't seem much thought goes into it.

Why would it? The movie was actually in production before Nick even bought the franchise.

Hence the ignore list.

First of all, you're a dumb bastard for trying to make a point by linking to wikipedia.

Secondly, in the DC universe Gotham and NYC are two separate locations.

**Machias Banshee** · 01-13-2013, 08:51 PM

But they're right in a way... "Gotham" has been a nickname for New York City for over one hundred years. The term "Gotham" goes back much further. The New York Public Library even did an article about it:

http://www.nypl.org/blog/2011/01/25/...-gotham-anyway

As for the shooting beginning in New York... I'm really hoping they returned the origin story to it's original state. A bunch of aliens from another planet would be the biggest mistake ever - Kevin Eastman seems so enthusiastic about what's coming up, I can only hope that he's convinced them to do the origin correctly.

**Jester** · 01-13-2013, 08:53 PM

Not to belabor the point, but wasn't Eastman on board for the aliens bit, too?

Couldn't have said it better myself! They need to pick a theme and run with it!

First off you need a new catchphrase, second that's what comes up when you search for Gotham City on google. Wiki's aren't useless when they have references. In any event Gotham is generally considered to be modeled after New York City, and since Gotham doesn't actually exist they couldn't exactly shoot there could they?

**Jester** · 01-13-2013, 11:07 PM

I've heard it's also modeled after Chicago....being a fake city you can use pieces of many to create it.
