Something interesting/disturbing... - Page 5

TMNT · 11-11-2006, 01:34 PM

I just checked out out the TMNT site and in the updates section: http://www.ninjaturtles.com/html/new.htm--it lists an event that happened recently in which a 11 minute teaser was shown to international buyers. Seeing that the movie is a mere 4 (well starting next week anyway) months away, I'm guessing promotion will start soon. This hopefully includes new footage (can someone say official trailer?), voice actors and the works. If Spiderman can get his fanfare now, 6 months prior, the TMNT better start cranking it out.

I'm confused. You didn't mean that the way I read it... Did you??

TMNT · 11-11-2006, 03:28 PM

Wow, so sorry for the confusion. I've changed it. I reread that and even I got excited.

i second that, perhaps this could be murphy's official thread?

and yes, all us non-capital lettered screen named posters surely have the final say in logic dictations... er.. or something!

and kirkman's the only other comic writer/series other than the TMNT in my comic collection to get a longbox comic storer... (as supposed to shortboxes)

*Masked Ninja* · 11-12-2006, 02:53 AM

Heh, and here I was, wondering why the length of the thread exploded during my absence. Sweet info, thanks.

And holy whoa... only 4.5(ish) months left?!

Crud, now I want to draw all kinds of things ninja and terrapin. Curse school for taking up so much of my time.

Hey, man, yeah I did and I love it. It's like The Libertines with more of a political-humanistic bent. Thanks for the tip.

I love that the movie is story heavy and is darker. I guess this is the last of my fears. If you could kindly answer, I'd be grateful. Thanks Murphy.

The monsters vs ninjas part of the film works well but it isn't the only source of action. There's also a fair amount of ninjas vs... ninjas. Or am I putting my Foot in my mouth by saying this?

Quick! Somebody make an ammendment to the rules. "Only 'Official TMNT Staff/Cast' are allowed to double-post..." Not making fun of you, sir. We have to treat you like you can do no wrong so you'll hang around

Very sorry to report that the powers-that-be have yanked the "lost season" from both the DVD release schedule and the VOD list. I have no idea why they've done this (the 13 episode story arc is very, very cool) but I'll ask around...

Oh, sorry. Is that a protocol? No double-posting? I really should read the protocols...

*gobo* · 11-14-2006, 10:06 AM

Glad to see you have a sense of humor about it. In as much as I'm not a moderator here, I'm not sure if it's a guideline or rule. But, I'm sure all of us seasoned fans would rather keep you around than bog you down with protocol. Since I expect a flood of newbies when schools let out for the holidays and when the movie is ready to premiere, they ought to ammend the rules to keep ill-tempered new members from having a fit like this one.

I think I need to let things simmer a while before I start bawling about The Lost Season...

coincidence or a clue

I'm sure they were joking about the double posting, that rule is only here for flooding and he isn't doing it, hope to hear about the Lost Season first time I hear about it being cancelled...

My only question is shouldn't we have a trailer with less than 5 months until the movie? And why is marketing not trying to do the same thing as the Transformers movies and trying to get 80s fans to come check it out?

Ratchet · 11-14-2006, 11:03 AM

Man, that's an uber-drag about the Lost Season - everything people were saying about it sounded stomping! Maybe when the film kicks off and TMNT gets another burst (as there seems to be another sort of lull with the winding down of the animated series) we'll see it (kind of like what Justice League did for the Batman and Superman cartoons), though I do hope it comes sooner!

Hey, that's 2 questions.

Yes, there should be another trailer... and it should start showing up any day now on certain Warner Bros-released "holiday" movies.

And yes... why isn't the marketing ramping up and at least partially being geared towards us oldster fans? A good question... in need of a good answer. I wish I knew.

Maybe. That's a good point.

Another scenario is that they might release the LS once they they get struck by a bolt of creative lightning, that is once they hit upon an idea that makes the most marketing sense. The right idea or moment or what have you.

And a further scenario might be that they simply shelve the LS episodes and run them in the future, like, for example, as an "all new" season following the FF seasons (should the FF seasons end). The old school model of airing it first then releasing it on DVD.

I seem to recall someone saying on the boards a while back that FF was on the cards to come after the LS anyway, so if there was some sort of chronological reshuffling done over at 4Kids then that sounds like something that could happen. As you said, it probably depends most on how FF does in terms of popularity and all - they may extend the reportedly planned duration of the idea...

The LS was the original Season 5 (but was only 13 episodes in length). It got yanked and replaced by FF's 26 episodes. But then FF got split into 2 seasons of 13 episodes, with the first half running beginning Fall 06 (as the new Season 5) and the other 13 slated (at least for now anyway) for Fall 07. Since there are no firm plans just yet for Fall 08 (too early, is all) and no clear reading on the popularity of FF, the fate of LS may be unknown for some time....

As far as chronology is concerned, I guess once (or should) the turtles return from the future, then they could theoretically be popped into any non-FF storyline, including the LS....

In unrelated news, I've recently been persuaded to watch Happy Feet, a movie which I really would probably have waited to see on DVD. I hope it's not going to be a waste of my time and money, what do you guys think?

Raph'N'Roll · 11-14-2006, 12:58 PM

How's it going Murphy?
I was just wondering if you have any idea of the new movies European/UK/Eire release date?
Most releases here if not worldwide usually end up appearing a month or two after the US, that would mean TMNT being released during the summer in Europe. Does that mean it might not be released until the Autumn to avoid the big blockbusters?

As if FF wasn't progressing too slowly already... And, we've already seen ten of them. Shoot.

So, that ammendment to the rules I mentioned earlier... we're gonna call it Murph's Law. Cool?
