The real good news of that interview is saying they want the movie to be just under 100 minutes.

The biggest fault (for me atleast) with the big giant bay-esque films is that they're wayyyy too long.

So is the guys name Sachs or Sacks? On the show it is spelled Sacs in the interview it's Sachs. I'm confused

I really don't mind 2 to 3 hours of turtles movie, kinda like LOTR.

But still good news.

I just cant wait for this. love how Don loves watching cat videos my fav turtle.

I love how he says the original origin was too complex. Funny I don't recall anyone having a problem following it in the first movie.

Agreed. If anything, I bet the new one is at least as "complicated" if not more so. Just a throwaway line to justify the tinkering.

I like that they're pretty much saying they have already drawn up some concept art for some of the popular characters from the old toon but need to save them for the sequels. Also the inclusion of the old theme song, yes!!!

From all the info we have it seems that they got rid of the Hamato Yoshi part because, like this interview says, they didnt want to ... open doors or some such.

"Y'know... aren't Bruce Wayne's parents kinda dead for like, everything? Let's skip over that and just leave them out, it's not relevant."

[Xav]

It would be really odd if they left out Yoshi completely. He's been a part of every version of the TMNT origin story.

[trikuza]

He talks about the complications from Splinter stealing Oroku Saki's girlfriend, does that mean that they are going to avoid that whole situation?

[Candy Kappa]

... Splinter stealing Shredder's girlfriend...that's one way of looking at it.

[Leo656]

See, it's a good thing women are things and can legally be traded as property or even stolen outright. If they were people, then the whole Yoshi/Saki rivalry story would be even more needlessly complicated than it already is.

Totally. What I want to know is - how many camels was she worth?

[Leo656]

"Sallah! I said NO camels! That's FIVE camels!"

[pennydreadful]

Can't you count?!

[Leo656]

I enjoy things I remember.

I get what you are saying but though I am not sure exactly how it was in feudal Japan, historically speaking in some places women were considered things and property
