i knew you were - i can't imagine anyone taking that director seriously - lol; but I just despise that guy's films so much i couldn't help but comment.

i wonder if there is a resident evil forum and fans are outraged that his garbage continues to get greenlit by the studio.

EDIT...and before anyone says, how can hate the RE franchise, but support the changes they are making to TMNT, its primarily because he build a universe around one character (his wife) that didnt exist in the actual RE video game continuity - and shoehorned in ACTUAL characters from RE lore. At least with the Turtles, despite the changes, the characters we know and all are taking center stage...not like Winters in TMNT (2007) which I personally choose to forget, minus the awesome Leo vs Raph scene.

I'd buy it...

Chris Columbus would be an interesting choice. It's too bad John Hughes has passed on. I'd like to see what he would do with the TMNT.

I'd be okay if Joss Whedon decided to direct.

And honestly, most of his movies aren't all that great.

A sequel? No one. I don't want these Turtle designs to live on.

Now, for a complete reboot, I'd like to see it in the hands of Brad Bird. He did The Iron Giant and The Incredibles, and has just now ventured into live-action with Mission: Impossible 4. If you look at his animated features, they have so much heart and that's something the Turtles franchise really thrives on.

Second

Bird is a highly underrated director, the movies you listed are great resume pieces to show he can take a "childs" film and make it enjoyable by any age

i didnt even see incredibles in theaters someone just told me i needed to get it, so i did without seeing it and it became one of my fave movies

Good choice.

If we're being serious, and operating under the assumption that any of these gentlemen would even be interested in the TMNT let alone possessing any kind of a passion for the material (and that's assuming a lot):

1. Guillermo del Toro
2. Darren Aronofsky
3. Stephen Norrington
4. Alex Proyas
5. Justin Lin

Not even any need for Favreau. Shane Black is a fine director of his own right.

I'd like to see full on Michael Bay; no middle man.

Bingo. Del Toro would definitely be one of my top picks. He has a serious gift with -- and love for -- practical "creature" effects, so he'd likely try to avoid CGI-ing the hell out of the thing, and you know his Turtles would look incredible. Get the right cinematographer and martial arts choreographers and you've got one hell of a movie.

In the end, there likely wouldn't be much difference. The writer of the new film himself said in that interview a few weeks ago that you'll feel Bay's presence throughout the entire thing. It really seems to me that this is a situation of Bay actually calling the shots, but not having time to shoot the thing due to Transformers. Basically, this entire production seems like second unit work.

I agree, He's like an artisric Micheal Bay, All style no supstance...
Man of steel proves that he can't do a movie that isn't directly lifted from the comic any justice.
