Secret of the Ooze back in theaters March 13-19

[CyberCubed]

It just looks like a fan film, like something you'd see someone put on youtube.

Or a "let's have fun and dick around a bit" that can double as a "proof of concept" for the overall studio. It might have been they were at a point where they were auditioning/taking pitches from different groups to do the costuming/martial arts.

I’m thinking something like this too. Maybe even a “if we can do this for $5000, imagine what we can do for $100m”

Idk though it’s in this really weird in-between spot in terms of quality. Can’t imagine it being convincing to a studio and it’s a bit goofy. Maybe then it’s just something a fan showed Kevin to which he thought “let’s just show this to keep it on the tongues of the fans while I hint that the future is still open”. Although if that were the case you’d be better off showing that animated short of the the seppuku scene that’s up on YouTube - although maybe not quite appropriate for a Secret of the Ooze intro

It's overall a weird choice, which makes me think mostly the third party trying to impress didn't receive much or any real direction directly. Basically, "here's a martial artist inside a Turtle costume with full-range motion and here's how it looks in different situations." And because whoever made it probably loves Fred Wolf there's pizza and Looney Tunes stuff in the middle of it.

Exaaactly.

Here I was hoping for some sort of new insight on Secret of the Ooze.

It was cool seeing Langen's original story notes.

[PizzaPower]

it was so awesome to see on the big screen, felt good!

The featurette was produced by the promoter of the rerelease event. It has no ties to a production beyond what it was.

It was fun. It had Michelan Sisti as the pizza guy. It was a nice bonus for seeing a 35yo movie, but it wasn't anything more than that.

Yeah I assumed it was produced by Fathom. Makes sense.

But just because it was just for fun, doesn’t mean Paramount isn’t monitoring fan reactions.

It does look like a fan film but one of those higher budget fan films. They nailed the style I loved it. It feels like The Last Ronin if it were set in the 90s trilogy continuity

Spoiler:

maybe in that continuity it's Venus who becomes TLR

Yeah I could honestly see them making a Last Ronin movie, but the 4 brothers are just all split up, or maybe 3 of them are captured, and they’re all reunited in the third act.
