So, who wants to place bets on what 80s franchise they're going to give to Bay to mangle next? Cuz you know it's coming.

The horror!

Oh, for Azatoth's sake, leave Rainbow Brite alone.

You know they'd slut her up and Starlite would have a crush on her. Y'know, to make it "hip" and "funny". "I like how you ride me without a saddle, Rainbow..."

[pennydreadful]

Please, knowing our luck they'll hand him He-Man or Thundercats. I can see it now - Megan Fox as Cheetara, Panthro can be some jive-talkin' mofo... it'll be box-office gold.

Meanwhile, the people who like it are just going to be even more protective and defensive of the sequel.

They'll never, ever make a movie that "unites" the fandom, but I wish they had managed to make one that wasn't SO polarizing. It can only get worse from here, as far as the arguing goes, which is why I kind of wish they'd just stop making movies altogether. They're not gonna make a better one than this one, nobody's ever gonna stop arguing about it and taking it way too far, so what's the point, anymore?

I never thought I'd say it, but I think we've had enough TMNT movies for a while. It's only ever going to come to this same kind of thing out of people, and that's depressing.

If they were to do a faithful adaptation of Mirage, you would get a lot less arguing. Sure some people don't like Mirage, but the discussions wouldn't be as heated. Same goes for a faithful OT, Nick, or IDW, 2K3 etc...

Heman's apparently in preproduction.

I don't even want to know.

I dunno. We got just as many people who aren't fans of the Mirage as they aren't fans of the 2014 movie. And it's OK to not be digging the source material. I personally love the movie version of Kick Ass vs the comic version, especially when it comes the second one.

See, I completely disagree. I think you'd have the exact same rabble-rousers complaining that everything was too "safe" and "boring" if they did any of that. If for no other reason than, this movie's "different for different's sake" approach is something a lot of people celebrate for some reason.

Maybe there'd be a little less arguing, but I doubt it. They'd still be saying people "can't handle change" and are "stuck in the past", only they'd have a lot more ammo.

Anyways, that Jem movie is coming out soon. That sounds pretty terrible.

And there's a hyphen in "He-Man", you heathen.

As of now Jeff Wadlow (Kick-Ass 2) is writing and directing He-Man. That is the only 80s franchise I think deserves a 21st century movie.

Yeah, I had to do a double take, I thought he said Herman, and I thought that was some weird comedy about the voices in a guys head.

So, lets see, Hollywood is doing a live action Clifford!

I'm surprised Disney didn't do a version of ChipNDale Rescue Ranges when Alvin and The Chipmunks were a modest hit.

I would have always loved an updated version of BraveStar. If just to see ThirtyThirty as a live action android on the big screen. I could imagine it would look wicked as hell.

I guess it's interesting to think of the possibilities, but I have to say I don't like the world set up for me in this first movie to care about what kind of adventures these Teenage Mutant Douchebag Turtles are going to get into.

[M-Frame]

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turn Up. Just saw it a second time. I forgot who said it, but while far from perfect it was very entertaining. Hopefully the sequel is also PG-13 rated (at the very least), PD ignores fanboys this time around, and the turtles aren't de-clothed or shrunken.

Why not She-Ra?

They could always spin it off. I mean, to be fair, She-Ra only had about 1/1000 the interest or fanbase He-Man had. And if the cartoon hadn't been directly spun-off from that, done in the exact same style, and He-Man didn't constantly show up in the show, that audience would've been about 0. Just saying. Nobody's screaming to bring She-Ra back because nobody was really begging for it back in the 80s in the first place.

Hollywood can't even figure out how to make Wonder Woman work, how are they ever gonna handle She-Ra? She's a chick and she has a sword. That's way more detail than Hollywood can handle with their female leads.

After seeing this current tmnt I can only a sequel will is great news.

I didn't have high expectations of it but it was actually entertaining. It had nice action, great story and it was funny and every character played their role well. I rate it a 8 or9 /10. Great TMNT movie.

Where did you get this info?

I thought Andre Nemec and Josh Appelbaum were not apart of the project when the blue door script got leaked. I remember from an interview that Andre said they were called recently to rewrite the script. Almost all of the writers, beside Jonathan Liebesman, were only credited for rewrites instead of writing the actual script.

Might be hard to do, she had that flying pegasus unicorn, and those things tend to not look so hot in CGI.

I think a lot of the reason the movie feels so rushed/patched together and disjointed is due to scenes being removed/re-shot last minute partly 'cuz of negative reactions from fans. It's pretty heartbreaking, really. I think if the studio ignored fanboys and trolls/nerds and stuck to their guns as far as the route they were initially taking with the movie, we would've a got a more cohesive, connected, fleshed-out story...... but also a white Shredder. Unfortunately due to ****** circumstances (Both PD and angry nerds are to blame), we couldn't have it both ways.

From the script that has their names on it.

Nemec and Applebaum were the originators of alien turtles and a military Foot (and Colonel Schraeder) which is why I'm pissed they're working on the sequel. I've seen what their version of a TMNT script is and it's bad.....really bad.

Evan Dougherty was brought in to rewrite their crappy script. Liebesman didn't have any hand in the script or the rewrites.

[Ramboraph4life aka Matt]

Just because it is announced doesn't mean it'll 100% happen folks.

Sequels get 'announced' all the time. How many times have they announced Ghostbusters 3 is 'getting made' and is 'coming soon'? Still nothing. Studios announced a sequel to the remake of Evil Dead, and nothing so far on that either.
