Anybody wanna see the original cut?

Anyone played the Nintendo DS game? Isn't the script in that version before reshoots and Sachs is Shredder?

The game was so different from the actual movie. You fought a bunch of mutants and there's even one point where Slash is one of the boss fights.

Morbidly curious.

We know they did film the turtles doing actual martial arts and all the actors agreed that there was more character work they did that ended up on the cutting room floor. A darker tone seems to be a given and I imagine the plot would make more 'sense' all of which sounds better than what we got but the Eric Sachs ******** and the turtles apparently fighting random mutagen monsters sounded underwhelming. Parts of the movie would definitely better while others worse. I imagine rather than good it would just be a different kind of bad.

The movie was recently on TV and a caught most of it. What gets me is how needlessly bad the whole thing is. We know every iteration of the movie from the early concept meetings, to the Blue Door script, to shooting to all the re-shoots a sequence of events was constant. The turtles lair is raided and they are captured and brought to a Foot base on top of a mountain were they are kept in cages. They break out and slide down the mountain on their shells. You could tell they really thought those scenes were the big selling point of the movie hence why they were in all the trailers and the well done if you go in for the Bay style. Also these are not particularly un-TMNT you could easily fit a more faithful version of a TMNT movie around it. They just didn't.

It's just sheer curiosity on my end.

Leak the damn script!

I'm very interested in alternate cuts, but in this case the original cut would be comprised of super-unfinished CG, animatics and tons of footage of actors in their motion capture suits. Though a fascinating look into the making of such films, the whole thing would be very tedious and not quite representational of how a final cut of said version would play had they not changed it.

That said, I'd still watch it if only for the sake of curiosity.

Even better! That's how the Wolverine Origins workprint looked when it leaked way back when. VERY crude, but fun to watch.

Doubtful it would add anything to/for the TMNT, so can't say the thought interests me much. I would very much like to see any deleted Turtles stuff, but I doubt there is any, and certainly not rendered out. The human-only scenes get boring so fast in those films and that's probably what we'd get for the most part if there was anything else to see...

As far as the Shredder thing is concerned, Asian Shredder was barely in it anyhow. His only "interaction" with the Turtles was all via a CGI Shredder and Eric Sacks still got all of the face to face stuff with them.

(I'd still pay money for a rendered out bloopers reel of the Turtles though. You can't get more "real" than seeing the Turtles messing up their own lines and goofing off.

)
