Paramount's TMNT reboot movie currently aiming for 2013 release

John Pannozzi · 03-10-2011, 12:44 PM

I read in this article that the new movie now has a projected release date of 2013:

thats really neat. wish it was sooner though, lol.

*gobo* · 03-10-2011, 12:57 PM

Well, crap... I was looking forward to the movie a little bit more.

Vernon · 03-10-2011, 01:00 PM

I had speculation that the movie would be a lead-in to the cartoon. Y'know, telling the origin story first with the movie, then having the series start off on something different.

I'm hoping, with this new news, that the cartoon universe and movie universe will be drastically different. With the movies aiming for the original mirage comics, while the cartoon is just a mesh of everything 'turtles, both spider man and batman have been able to perform good-quality children's shows while pg-13 movies were still going on, can't see why the ninja turtles would be treated differently.

I waited this long... Don't mind waiting longer...

This is actually probably better considering the amount of comic book films already coming out in 2012, I wouldn't want the guys kind of lost in the shuffle of Captain America and the Avengers.

Still excited and willing to wait for what I really am hoping will be quality!

This is good to read, because considering they still haven't finalized the script, pumping out a movie within the next year could only turn out crappy.

Very good point, but it's kind of annoying that they're not really getting anything done (apparently).

*sdp* · 03-10-2011, 07:50 PM

Not only that but 2012 is loaded with movies, there was no way TMNT had a fair chance it was going to be competing with all the big hitters, even if it was ready it would have been a smart move to move it a year. I am a bit bummed but oh well. No news of the new movie at SDCC then.. I think all 2013 has is Iron Man 3.
BTW no script is not stopping MIBIII from starting filming and releasing in 2012 lol...

*CyberCubed* · 03-10-2011, 07:54 PM

So the show will definitely predate the movie by months.

chad · 03-10-2011, 08:01 PM

I think this is good because there are an awful lot of movies out next year and and the script most likey is not ready yet so it makes sense.

*CyberCubed* · 03-11-2011, 11:51 PM

As long as they don't delay the cartoon because of the movie, its fine.

Here's hoping the show starts even earlier than Fall 2012.

*PizzaPower* · 03-12-2011, 01:17 AM

i dont think the cartoon will be delayed, NICK i believe is working really hard on it.

Ur right they have it slated for 2012 so we will be ok

*PizzaPower* · 03-12-2011, 04:57 PM

yup yup

i cant wait for some more previews!

*Slap-Happy* · 03-15-2011, 08:53 AM

What I'm wondering is how one article says it, and every person just believes it. Movies can go into production without even a finished script (Men in Black 3)

They're probably close to hiring a director and may have even started design work. We don't even have the info to say that they are or aren't working around the clock on it to release in 2012.

*sdp* · 03-15-2011, 11:44 AM

You are totally right, the source they link to mentions absolutely nothing about a 2013 release date, no one else has reported it as far as i know and the only mention is from toonzone and this wouldn't be the first time they make stuff up. Until a proper source can be found (which I googled and found no one besides the above site reporting it everyone should assume the movie is coming out in 2012, topic title should be changed as well.

Well, it's nice to know that they're spending a good deal of time to make sure the script is just right, and personally, I'd guess that a 2013 release is more likely than one in 2012, but that's just my opinion, and I could very easily turn out to be wrong.

*Kendamu* · 04-01-2011, 03:56 PM

This'll give Nick several months to build up a new fanbase with the new show before the movie comes out, anyway.

*PizzaPower* · 04-01-2011, 05:20 PM

that is an awesome idea.
