This is great because it's something new but still recognisable and that's exactly what the franchise needed, otherwise it'd become stale and boring!
Um... "looking forward" to this movie? It's hard to take your opinions seriously, when you have already declared this 2014 movie as your favorite TMNT movie within your signature ...and it hasn't even come out yet.

the fact that this poster only says "ninja turtles" makes me believe that those designs could have changed, especially since weve seen the actual models used.

Man they really do look like bloated apes, fat faced, bloated chimps.
If you lose the shell, there isn't much reptile to them at all.
Definitely more Battle-toad than NT.

Spoke with a friend of a friend, he said all these leaks weren't on purpose. Also said the poster is a early design and being reworked. He couldn't share any other info with me sadly

I have a feeling something is up because, Supposedly we are expecting TMNT related stuff happening in February.
The timing of these leaks are a sign we can expect something in the beginning of February.

All of the actors minus Mikey were over 6 feet. And the tallest one was 6'4.

Tell that to Steven Spielberg who produced the Transformer films, who made them put the humans up front in those movies (which he produced). Don't believe me, listen to the audio commentary from the writers themselves, who said "Spielberg said that the audience could only identify if the Humans are in the foreground, not the machines." And Spielberg was the big decision maker on that front, since he referenced stuff like "E.T."

And he was just a 'producer'. And that's a problem a lot of people had with those movies.

Hell, read up on all the problems that director Tobe Hooper had with Poltergeist and Steven Spielberg's involvement and extreme influence in that production (who just 'produced' it.)

Or read up on the movie Dredd, which the producer took away from the director and recut the movie.

Am I 'educated enough' for ya?

If you don't think that a producer (who has a bigger name and a hell of a lot more power than Liebesman) can influence decisions in pre-production let alone a project itself, then you are only fooling yourself.

Me? I never said Bay was directing, but he may have input on the film.

I think producers have a HUGE influence on the final product because if a director starts trying to do something they don't like they will just cut the funds until they get in line. I'm sure Bay will have plenty of say in this movie because he controls the purse.

Looks ok. Probably not the final poster. Even so I still love the new designs.

The clothes and such are just to add more individual personality. I think people just like hating because its Bay.

Same thing happened with Transformers. Alot of people complained they looked like a bunch of metal thrown together but they turned out great, even if you don't like the actual movies.

It's not bay, Bay is the producer, not the director.

Thanks for the confirmation. Really hope they "rework" out those glasses. Let us know if you find out anything else!

I know. I didnt say he was director.

I meant people like hating because of his involvement.

If the movie had nothing to do with Bay I doubt they're would be as much negative judgement like saying the turtles are too big or the clothes are dumb.

I don't think bays involvement is the problem. Just look at those things! They look terrible and they are too big, the clothes do look dumb. I know I would use the same feelings if bay wasn't attached.

So they really are going with the title "Ninja Turtles" not Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? I'd be fine with that except for concerns that they might not be teenagers and they might not be mutants! Both are important, at least if we are talking about a film reboot where you should establish those things first, then if you wanted to make them non-teens later I guess that would be fine.

Just wanna say I don't hate the designs. I think Out of the Shadows forced me to get used to the whole nostrils thing even if I prefer they be either not there are very subtle. Main problem is I still feel they are too HUGE. Why so big?

Looking forward to seeing those toys. Really curious what a dark-fur Splinter would look like
