Will Arnett Joins Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Page 2

sgtfbomb · 04-02-2013, 10:20 PM

Could he just be playing a news anchor at April's station? I don't think that was a character in the leaked screenplay (which is most likely outdated anyway), but that's a role I can easily see Arnett playing.

Quote:

Lame comedy though? That always stops these kinds of movies in their tracks. I thought Transformers 3 was alright but the Ken Jeong stuff in the beginning was absolutely awful. Same thing with the weed brownie scene in Transformers 2. It's like it takes a detour from stupid action-town into awkward stupid comedy-town and it doesn't leave for like 20 minutes.

I agree. It didn't bother me so much in the first Transformers movie, but the sequels were pretty bad with this. For me, it stopped the films dead in their tracks. I also could have done without the scene where Sam is supposed to be running after his girlfriend because he knows she's in danger, but instead has a lengthy conversation with his parents about love.

Not just the goofy scenes, but the characters, too. They're like, "It's been 20 minutes. We need a laugh. Find somebody and jam him in."

Anthony Anderson played the goofy, 'in over his head' hacker guy from Transformers, who was obviously just jammed-in comedic relief. Then there was the other goofy, 'in over his head' hacker guy who was along for the ride Transformers 2. I don't even know who that was. Then, in Transformers 3, you had Ken Jeong playing the, um... goofy... 'in over his head' hacker guy...

I doubt he's playing Vernon, which is the only character he could pass as.

*Galactus* · 04-02-2013, 10:47 PM

I'm guessing he's Splinter.

*chrisdude* · 04-02-2013, 10:58 PM

If he is just some comic relief character, Vernon would be a perfect role to allow him to tag along with April and be scared, like Sam's roommate from Transformers 2. But The Hollywood Reporter (the site that broke the news) said it's a lead role, so that's probably out.

I just don't want a goofball Shredder/Schrader...

He may play Baxter if they're going for the old toon type characters.

Colonel Schrader · 04-03-2013, 03:00 AM

Yeah, i can see him as baxter, even as the rat king..

Or maybe there will be like 100's of him, and he is the humanoid krang body, just like the nick show.. He could even talk funny like them. He does have that kinda voice.

*Master Splinter* · 04-03-2013, 07:22 AM

This could be interesting.

He's Bishop.

*miru* · 04-03-2013, 08:23 AM

He's Dogpound.

Judging by the fact that every actor they announce seems like a bad choice for any role in this movie, I certainly don't think it matters who he plays. Heck, he might as well do the motion capture for all four turtles. I really want this to be a passable movie but my hopes are not high.

Colonel Schrader · 04-03-2013, 08:37 AM

he is my mom.

Darth Knuckles · 04-03-2013, 09:22 AM

At first I thought "Oh crap! Casey Jones?" But one site/report claims he is not playing Casey Jones. So then I thought Baxter Stockman and that kind of makes sense. After that I thought he'd be perfect for Vernon! I hope that's who he's playing but it does say he's a lead character. Vernon could be a lead character if, like someone already suggested, he tags along with April a lot.

I don't think it's official yet but I do hope that April is a t.v. reporter for this new movie. To me it just makes more sense that that would be a reason as to why a human would want to hang around with four mutated turtles in the beginning. April as a reporter would want to so she could break the new story or possibly save lives. By going through that experience she realizes that the turtles are cool and fun to be with.

You guys got it all wrong! He's playing Master Splinter!

Lol is Splinter even slated as a character in this new movie?

Bob · 04-03-2013, 10:45 AM

I didn’t even know this guy was a comedic actor. So I suppose that discounts one of the villains. I don’t seem to recall Colonel Schrader cracking any jokes in the leaked script.

*CyberCubed* · 04-03-2013, 11:03 AM

Perhaps Rocksteady?

sgtfbomb · 04-03-2013, 12:26 PM

He could be Bebop or Rocksteady. I forget they were in the script.

*CyberCubed* · 04-03-2013, 01:02 PM

He better not be Bebop since he's not black.

Ville Leskinen · 04-03-2013, 01:13 PM

Perhaps he's Casey Jones?
