Nemec and Applebaum were hired in June 2011

The Blue Door script with Nemec and Applebaum's names on it is dated January 2012.

Liebesman wasn't hired until February 2012 after Blue Door was completed.

So you can stop championing Nemec and Applebaum. Their original script started this mess.

But none of that proves who wrote the script. The Blue Door Script is basically like Avatar. Would have been cool if the movie explored Dimension X. The bad parts is the prophecy and the turtles not being mutants.


There was a recent interview with Andre Nemec that said they were called to rewrite the script though.

Well I'll be there when it opens. Going to be tough to dethrone cap 3 and other co petition. I love tmnt enough to keep going even though the recent movie wasn't ideal (well, at least liebesman's directing).

To rewrite which script?

"Appelbaum & Nemec" is printed right there on The Blue Door script. Top of the page dated 1/30/12.

The style and a lot of the beats from Blue Door are directly in the final product. In some cases, I felt the final product was worse than the scenes in Blue Door. I felt like Blue Door could have been alright with some tweaks (which should be obvious, I took my own crack at rewriting Blue Door itself).

Even though I enjoyed this movie for what it was, I am NOT excited about Andre and Josh's return to write it. There goes my hope for an improved plot and story.

I just made a petition yesterday against this movie. Not surprisingly I already a little more than 200 signatures. PM me if you are interested in the details and/or would like to sign.I won't however make a scene here. Strictly off the forums.

I will only say that 1 million, 2 million, 10 million signatures won't outweigh 90+ million dollars.

Do you like Zombie's first Halloween? What didn't you like about the second? Myself, I had a difficult time with Lords of Salem... a little too cerebral for me.

Love your optimism dude, but I think you'll be wasting your time and energy. As long as the movie and future sequels make money, The Powers That Be couldn't care less - the feeling is that if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

[Xiewin]

Honestly I really don't know whether I want a sequel or not. I love the turtles in this version, but I don't want them placed in a poorly written movie again.

[Shark_Blade]

There should be a petition to make TMNT a must watch by all American citizens.

A 28th Amendment if you will.

Here's the finished version of my poster.

I see what you are trying to do but it won't work. I'm not going to fall for it. I and anyone else have the right to petition. That's all I have to say.

[pennydreadful]

You have the right to a petition, but dude, please don't PM people who you disagree with about the movie... it just escalates. Even if some of us don't like the movie, it shouldn't be causing such a big rift between folks here on the boards.

Let's not focus on that which divides us, y'know what I'm saying? I've got heaps in common with some of the pro-movie folks, which I've found out because I take the time to get to know people. The film's certainly not worth starting a war over.

I never said I will PM you. I said you have to PM me first if you want details and I of course will PM the people who do. Big difference.

So just got back from seeing it and yeah it was pretty much what I expected. Did my best to leave my reservations at the door and take it for what it was and if I look at it as just a movie without any of my fan biases its mediocore at best. The only saving grace is that when the humor works it really works. Other than that it feels kind of hollow, and its obvious its been edited to death. On top of that there's all the plot contrivances and the overall stupidity of the evil plan. If I look a it as a fan and hold it up to to other stuff in the franchise its so bad of a representation its frustrating. I think its safe say ill skip the sequel.

Josh and Andre were called to rewrite the Blue Door Script. So was Evan Daughtery. Jonathan Liebesman is also one of those directors who gets involved in the writing process. I know there was some conflict and different ideas. Poor communication leads to bad movies.

I just listened to a video about the Blue Door Script, it surprisingly does sound better then what we have now.

If They just changed a few things such as
-Remove the Prophecy
-Remove the turtle's origin from Dimension X
-Remove the April and Casey opening scene
-Remove the odd ability of bouncing everywhere

and add some changes such as
-Add the origin from the original comics. The ooze comes from Dimension X
-Add a opening scene with the turtles. (instead of April and Casey)
-Add a different reason to why they are sucked into Dimension X, that is lore friendly.
-Add intense action scenes that demonstrate the turtle's martial art prowess.

The Blue Door major screw up is the origin and focusing on Casey and April too much.

Raph impaling Krang is badass and would have loved to see that.

I'm talking about the PM that you supposedly sent Puddinpop.

[Lou 500]

I'd sincerely hope the writers, director and producer learn something and don't just make a high budget Asylum film. (Asylum is the film studio responsible for s**t like Sharknado)

No, Raph's had his victories enough times. Let either Donnie, Leo or hell, even Mikey (if they can pull it off creatively) deliver the death blow this time around.

Where did you get that figure? It opened to $65 million.

Anyway I agree that petitions like that are a waste of time. If anything, it's just stirring up more of the same controversy that helps this movie do as well as it did. It would never convince them to cancel the sequel.

Now, a petition naming a good director to hire in place of Liebesman, or to change scriptwriters, either of those I could see having an impact. But to cancel the sequel? Not in a million years.
