I still stand by the "In the PD's movie-verse Schrader IS Shredder, and thus saying, 'I'm Shredder.' isn't confirmation he's not Schrader." logic.

Oroku Saki... Eric Sachs. Between the "stages of his life" comment and also how he dodges the question of whether his character is Japanese rather than just denying it leads me to believe they're going with reincarnation. If Splinter and the turtles are Hamato Yoshi and his sons, then I'm actually willing to buy this interpretation of Shredder.

Oh...helps to read all the posts and then comment, rather than just skim the thread. This is looking to be a Turtle movie to enjoy ironically....

His name is Eric Sachs why would he have two last names? We have had other characters take on the Shredder mantle before. So I'm hoping this leaves the door open open for a Oroku Saki Shredder. This guy could be an imposter or something.

I am really glad we got one superb Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, and that I can still watch it on DVD. Because this thing sounds like it's gonna stink like nothing has ever stunk before.

*Cure* · 07-01-2013, 07:08 PM

A new take on Shredder is alright with me. Looking forward to it.

Here's hoping there is some sort of plan at work here that we just aren't privy to or have enough information about. If not, I'm not sure how Eastman can sit back and think these types of significant changes would make long time fans excited (as claimed recently).

Starting to think nothing will ever come close to the original movie, in many ways - especially in terms of treating the original material with care and respect.

This. I agree with this completely. While I think the Fred Wolf stuff shouldn't be in the movies at all, it at least had Shredder as a Japanese Oroku Saki, the Shredder. But the above image is hands-down the BEST iteration of the Shredder. Without a doubt. He wasn't dumbed down like all the kiddy cartoons. This was the most badass Shredder.

"Hi. My name is Eric Sachs. I'd like to apply for a loan."

I was going to type up an angry rant here, but I just can't anymore. This movie is borderline horrible and its like they're purposely trying to make the movie as god awful as possible.

I bet even the Nick writers and IDW staff are laughing at what's going on with this movie. Ah well, two good TMNT reboots will make up for this horrible one.

I just hope if this movie bombs it doesn't affect the cartoon or comic in any way.

*The Stryker* · 07-01-2013, 07:45 PM

And I'll say it for the millionth time....

I'll see you all on opening night! Weeeee!

Again, you really need a hobby....or a hubby....which ever.

When asked if Shredder is going to be Japanese this was his response:

Quote:

You know, uh, you know I think it would be much more exciting to find out these things as it unfolds.

I think this is very telling. It could be very similar to the way the history of the Foot Clan mini-series went.. Otherwise he would have just said no. Or made some other kind of answer other than what he said.. It's an intruiging development but I'm not gonna get too upset over it yet..

We have no idea what ANYTHING in the movie is really going to look like.. So we don't have much to go on..

Obviously everyone is going to see it, regardless. Whether it's to see it with an open mind, or to hate on it...

NYShell · 07-01-2013, 09:05 PM

I'll be the first one there at the midnight premiere to see an awesome reboot or a tragedy. Whatever it turns out to be, I'm still going to see it.

*Is anyone going to see this movie once or more than once in theaters?

shouldn't we all see just once, to send the message that we don't like Bay's crap? seeing it multiple times and making it into a box office smash is sending the message that yes, we do love colonel shrader.

I'll definitely see it once.. If I really like it I might go back. It is all a matter of what the trailers look like and once we get more solid info about the movie.

I rarely do it. The second time for me personally is to just I guess "study" it and take a second look. But yeah, I'm weary of supporting things I don't like in a way.

Not seeing it at all would probably send a bigger message. But that ain't going to happen. Especially with the nutso "I'll never see it ever!" crowd.

Goon · 07-01-2013, 09:22 PM

Yea all the studios care about is making money.. If you buy that movie ticket, they've already got you.. Mission Accomplished.. Thats why they keep making remakes.. People complain about them all the time, but they still make millions of dollars.

Most people want to pull an Alan Moore.
