i understand its a part of business...but that doesnt make it any less cruel.

and to be clear, im not actually disappointed, i just feel bad for the guy.

im actually bummed, Pete Plozek's voice got replaced. the little ive heard, i dug, and I DONT like Johnny Knoxville - hopefully he'll prove me wrong, but his body of work doesnt exactly give me any reason to think he can pull off 'disciplined leader'

And how do we know Splinter looks cute? We haven't actually seen him yet.

Here it is guys a long awaited first look at Splinter and as you can see he isa rat no more, he is a goat now. And shredder, what have they done to you? You look like a power rangers villain...

dont judge a book for its cover :p you cant officially say he looks like a goat from a figure/toy wait till the movie comes our they release a picture of him then judge

Motion capture work,Voice over work,ADR, reshoots, video game voice work

thats a few years of work...Voice acting and movie making are not weekend things...

and so what if i do know him? so what if i dont? does it change what i said? does my knowing him or not, make his worth any less as a person?

I dunna man, "midget" isn't exactly the word that people like Woodburn appreciate being called.

Tone it down a scoch, Alpha.

I don't have it with me here but its been officially reported that Paramount never guaranteed that they would keep their voices. The contract only guaranteed the Mo-cap work. Its been reported that they don't have a case bc they signed a contract. Ill try to find the official sources. You know.. these actors are very fortunate. There are people/children out there that would kill for a clean glass of water so I wouldn't want to hear any complaining. BTW... " little people" I don't care for that word either

Well, I'd say that goes back again to them letting everything be revealed by the poorest quality available.

First look at the turtles: horrible Halloween costume
First look at the rest: leaked photo from toy convention
First full look at Splinter: toy images

Get ahead of the merchandise photos and get some still images out, put some posters out, if the CG isn't ready to show in trailer, just get some still images out. You don't want a poor representation to be the first look at stuff.

Seriously, who's running the PR & Marketing Department at Platinum Dunes, ex-employees from Microsoft?!

and if they knew He wouldn't have brought his legal team in because he would be breaching contract

Except he did know. It was written in the contract. He didn't say anything of the sort he just said his legal team was looking into it and " thank you for your support". That's about it. Give me a min. and ill find it ok

i couldve sworn i saw him post it but you could be right

and i could be very very wrong...but i will say it makes me wonder if come final film the other 3 are re voiced

Yet other movies manage to do proper marketing before leaks manage to happen. I guess it's just some mystical luck they have....or it's poor marketing and planning.

But I'll drop it. It's just another "PD can do no wrong" topic.

You saw the back of his head, but okie dokie.

You're probably thinking of the tweet where he said "don't believe everything you read." It seemed to indicate he was referring to contract to me.

you know, reading the first link brought up a good point i never thought of,

if it wasn't in the contract the movie itself would be in hot water with lawsuits galore, but that doesn't seem to be the case

so i humbly apologize puddinpop, you are right...still wonder the fate of the other 3 turtles

There was no clarification but might be something

I'd bet that Mikey is safe since they're using his line in every promo bit. Don and Raph, having only one word (and a yell) could still be in the air, I suppose.
