What happened to the TMNT Documentary?

[Canadian Turtle]

As you have probably noticed I just threw up a post about those toys I have sitting on my desk. I also threw it up on GGM with a little blurb about the doc.

I feel like things are coming, but I really don't know. As you can imagine things are all in transition with the new buy out. We have the best possible representation with our Executive Producers, so we are just crossing our fingers. There is an unbelievable amount of content and a truly amazing story to share!! I hope we can release the best possible movie for you guys... and I hope I can give you some news soon!

This is an interesting statement. What do you mean exactly? Do you think peoples interests in the doc will fade with time?

I really want to see this, I remember the hype around summer time and I really really hope we get to see this come together. I can't wait for one!!!

Good luck to u guys, im sure it will be grand when it comes out!

I think he means interest in turtles is "cooling". He's right but once the new series and all that is out interest will be up again.

Exactly. Most casual fans are either in the process of or are mothballing their memories of TMNT right now. I'd hate to have to wait another two years to check out your work, but you'll probably get more viewers/customers that way.

Well your right, I would agree that waiting to share this stuff does suck, but in the long run your both right in the release of all the new Turtle stuff that is coming it would be a better time to release the doc. That said, there has been talk in of the Doc prefacing the movies and new releases as part of the hype of the new Turtle phase, but again this all remains to be seen. I should hope at some point you will at least get to see some more sneak peeks and cool stuff in the next little while when things are straitened out on our end and we are able to do so. So I will keep everyone in the loop.

Any chance of posting that preview that you showed at SDCC? Or did you not show anything new then?

At the Toronto Con we showed 15 or more minutes of content from the doc, it was a potential "scene" or short section from the opening of what would be the actual doc. It showcased some of the origin story, which yes we all know more or less. However it was nicely spliced together with all the major players as the story evolved including artists, Mark Freedman and major comic store owners from the time. It also included some archive footage that is extremely rare and was a HUGE bonus never before seen sneak peek, but no one seemed to understand or get what they were looking at. Then we went into a little bit of the "toy section" and just teased with a few things in there. This was followed by a short "highlight reel" with short trailer clips of other parts of the doc, this section also included a VERY big nod to potential archive content, but again people didn't seem to pick up on it... oh well we will all have to wait and see what happens now.

The short answer... I am sorry to say we will be holding off on releasing anything until we get more news and confirmations on our end.

Sorry, Toronto, duh.. That's what I was talking about.. You still have the clip?

Hey guys! I am guessing maybe you read my post over on the "prop" thread. I honestly cant say to much. As you can imagine we have as many questions as (I hope) all of you have in regards to the doc and the new film. We still have our producers over there, anything regarding the release or further shooting with the doc is on hold until things are all worked out. We are looking at the possibilities of re-developing the website and all the trailers and updated clips. I will let the community know as we look to develop that direction. The guys and I are looking at discussing things again soon, we have all just been really busy trying to keep bills payed and other customers happy! hahaha. One thing to keep in mind, I am always watching these boards whether I post or not, I am keeping a thumb on the pulse of the fandom. We want to bring you what you are looking for in documentary content, interviews, still images, behind the scenes footage, stories, you name it. I am watching and listening to what you want. This can be translated down the road... just a thought. Lots to look forward to in all things Turtles in the years to come! Keep it real!

Thanks for the news man, I'm still dying to see what all you got.

Can you ever post that preview that you showed up in Toronto (was it?!)? Or is that material out of your hands completely?

Ya it was Toronto. The guys and I have brought this up a couple times. I don't want to put that specific short section up as it was a little rushed and not a polished piece of our best work. There is talk of getting something up for sure, but things have been busy and not a lot of discussion has been happening as of late. You bringing it up does put it in mind though. I will try to get on them early April, as for the next week I am on night shoots from 7 to 7, so not really existing in the real world haha.

Let us know when we can throw a "Welcome Back to the Real World" Party!!!

Any chance you'll be able to score some interviews with Nickelodeon since the sale? They've been pretty hush about it since the buyout.
