I'm gonna bomb 4Kids, Funmation, or whoever is resopsible for this. I'm just gonna ****ing kill them. This is the worst piece of news I've ever heard.

I demand blood.

Murph's Law sounds good...

Also chill a bit Manthatwouldberaph - did you read what the other options were? Just because the plans for the DVD have been yanked doesn't rule it out completely. As Murph said, it's still too early to determine how FF is doing so the future of both LS and FF is up in the air (in that it's too early to tell which way to go with either).

That sucks about the 'lost season' not going to DVD/OD, especially with the EVIL cliffhanger at the end of the fourth season. Don't leave us hangin', man. WWTMNTD?

Repeating myself, though it's also ok if this goes unanswered.

There's this one Iris - people might remember Mike Hawthorne from Tales #24 (or if you read Umbra - which you all should have - there's that too!)...

OMGWTFBBQ???

Oi Vey! Why are they leaving us stranded with only Fast Forward? That's like being stranded on an island, and a plane decides to drop a cargo of fries from Burger King rather than McDonald's.

First of all Mr. Murphy, I want to thank you for answering our questions about the new tmnt movie and other stuff relating to the turtles. Its cool of ya to take time to interact with us fans. I got a few question of my own that I was wondering about the lost season.

Since the lost season won't be released any time soon, would it be possible to find out any info about the utrom shredder and how he learned ninjutsu and started the foot clan. And also, if he had any connection to the ninja tribinal after the original shredder was imprisoned. Im sure people are curious about all of that since it was never answered yet.

Thanks

No Lost Season?

That's got to be the worst news ever.

*Spitfire* · 11-15-2006, 04:56 AM

hahahahahahah right, maybe then Mirage will go out of business. I don't think so, 4KIDS will make evry buck off TMNT it can. Expect an TSL DVD.

Well, the hoped-for plan is that the movie opens simultaneously in as many markets --especially North American and UK/Europe-- as possible. That said, it is up to our foreign distributor, the Weinstein Company, to pull this off. The Weinstein group is relatively new to this "foreign distribution" game but we have faith that they'll pull it all together. If or when I hear otherwise, I'll post an update (but I often hear things like this after the fan community does!).

Ah, um, er, let's see, don't wanna give too much away (that would cause me to lose what little superpowers I currently possess). So...

Utrom Shredder learned ninjitsu from the Foot Clan... back in the day. What day? you ask. Like back a few centuries. Wasn't this revealed in Season 3 or 4?

Can't answer anything related to the Ninja Tribunal, though. That would spoil the surpises inherent in the Lost Season! Sorry.

Ramboraph4life aka Matt · 11-15-2006, 11:34 AM

Hey there Murphy, very cool of ya to be posting on here. Anyway I have 4 questions (if it's okay heh).
1. Will the news on who is the voice cast of the 4 turtles be released pretty soon?
2. Is this more of a Leo-centered story, or will each turtle have there moments of glory/to shine (i'm a big Raph fan so i had to ask lol)?
3. Have you heard any of the music from the soundtrack by Graeme Revell, any hints of how it is like?
4. Not sure if you can answer this one...any word on, or if there will be, a special edition of any of the 3 previous tmnt movies (although i figure since they are new line cinema films, probably not) since it would be good promotion for the new film?

Ratchet · 11-15-2006, 11:37 AM

Hi Murph!

I'm curious as to how closely tied to the movie the 'prequel' comics will be. Without giving anything away, are they similar to the latter Dreamwave stories (where, if one chose to, they could be read as unofficial Tales of the TMNT stories somewhat in line with the Mirage continuity) or closer in nature to the Archie books (where they exist in a completely different universe and finding an unofficial place in the Mirage/Image continuity is pretty much impossible)?

Thanks Murph!

Thanks for asking.

I think I'm the only person in the world without a website....

However, I recently bought a domain name --www.murphopolis.com-- and hope to have it up and running sometime in January.

With the two FF seasons in the bag I don't have any TMNT 'toon scripting to do in the near future, although I'm working on a screenplay version of my Image Comics mini-series, Umbra.

I have a six-issue comic book mini-series nearing completion, with art by Dario Brizuela. I hope to shop it around to publishers this winter.

Mike Hawthorne and I are working on a 120+ page graphic novel called Sturgeon Creek... my first foray into autobiographical comics (so, technically, it's not really a graphic novel now is it?). We've just crossed the halfway mark but don't expect it to be done until late Spring 07 at the earliest.

And I'm in the planning stages of another 6-issue series, also creator-owned, more a string of one-shots than a series.

Plus my wife (the poet and short story writer Sonia Pereira) and I keep meaning to start collaboration on a novel but dirty diapers keep getting in the way....

Hey Tristan.

The prequel titles are totally tied into the movie (and movie comic book adaptation) and thus you're right, they're more like the Archie books in that they comprise a TMNT universe that is based solely on the world and events of the movie. Or, I suppose, movies, in that the new movie does continue the Shredder-is-dead plotline from the very first Turtle movie.

So, dang, we have yet another TMNT universe! How many does that make? Something like 7, right? Let's see:

1. Mirage comic book universe
2. Original cartoon universe
3. Archie comic book universe (which began in the original cartoon universe but then veered off into its own)
4. Movie 1 and new movie universe
5. Movie 2 and 3 universe (I don't think Kevin Munroe's "nods" to these films in the new film put them in the preceding universe... or do they?)
6. Image comic book universe
7. New cartoon universe (includes FF plotline and Dreamwave comics)

Is that it? Do we count the universe of the Mexican TMNT comic book series (based on the original cartoon but then this too wound up creating its own universe)? The Spanish comic book series (ditto)?

Oh, and what of the Live Show (shudder)?

Ratchet · 11-15-2006, 12:02 PM

Thanks for that Murph - at least the universes are all distinctly different and don't jump all around the place. As much as I love reading Batman, the mere mention of things like Infinite Crisis and Earth 2 makes my brain want to implode!

One final question regarding the movie (and if it can't be answered that's cool): given the distinctly different nature of the current animated series and the film, have any plans been put in place to spring a new animated (be it 2d or 3d) series out of the film - should it prove to be what I'm sure is a predicted success?

1. Yup. I know of 3 famous actors whose agents have already agreed but the contracts haven't been signed yet.

2. Hmm. I think one can safely say that both Leo and Raph get equal air-time.

3. No I haven't... but my understanding is that the incidental music is by Marco Beltrami (Hellboy, Terminator 3, The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys, etc.).

4. No idea. I know that we tried to get Movies 1, 2 and 3 to be included as gifts-with-purchase items with those "giant movie Turtles" that Playmates put out a few months back, but we were only able to secure the rights to the third movie. Not sure exactly why... but it could mean that New Line is thinking somewhere along the lines of your reasoning.
