It's most likely a working title or a code name used for the filming crew.

I expect they don't want to draw too much attention if they used the full name as they probably want to film some important scenes in secret or Just don't want huge crowds gathering near them and maybe don't want anything getting leaked onto the internet like photos, videos ect.

But obviously stuff will get leaked soon enough and end up here and then we get the messages that Paramount want them removed.

I expect there will be a lot of rumours on different title names, in the next few months.

That is correct, They often have a working title, that doesn't make a reference to the actual movie, But Half-Shell is pretty much a reference no matter what.

And usually when the word gets out of a film's working title, They know the movie is filming, So they can't hide it no longer.

We can expect more behind the scenes photos and videos, of any of the filming going on in the next couple of days or weeks.

Oh yeah. I wonder what the movie codenamed Half-Shell with a bunch of Mutant Turtles in it is about.

Total mystery.

At this stage, goodness knows what they'll even end up with in the end so it may also take a bit to really figure out a suitable title anyhow.

The wave of idiocy Bay and Lebiesman emanate is powerful stuff.

How the hell do you get more lame-ass than TMNT: Half-Shell? Are they "too cool" for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2?

I have never wanted to see a film fail so much, let alone a TMNT one. I want this awful studio to eagerly pour hundreds of millions of money into this abomination only to see it fail at the box office. I want them to realize in horror that you can only shovel so much garbage into the audiences' face before they stop buying tickets, and understand too late that they should have hired someone remotely competent in the first place.

Of course that won't happen though. It'll be another box office success and they'll make a 3rd and a 4th because people love to be shoveled garbage. Just look at Transformers.

in all seriousness wait until stuff comes out regarding The Turtles Bebop and Rocksteady splinter and Shredder. I mean bitching about a title that is the working title and not the actual title is pretty silly.

Well thanks to the sarcastic replies, not everyone will know that Half Shell is TMNT.

I knew about this Half Shell thing yesterday when I saw this tweet

olv
‏@olv
Got a tip something called Half Shell is filming in NYC, anyone know if this is the new TMNT movie?

https://twitter.com/olv/status/581161044439121920

It's from On Location Vacations and even they wern't sure if it was for TMNT.

This is the website

http://www.onlocationvacations.com/

so if they get a tip where TMNT are filming somewhere, it get's reported here.

Jesus Christ.

Half-Shell... Supermodel... Basketball players...

Watching this is going to feel like having a railroad spike hammered into my pineal gland.

Yes, first movie had "Foursquare" as working title so it's probably a working title too. http://www.onlocationvacations.com/2...h-in-new-york/

Jesus Christ....Half-Shell is not a working title. Working titles have no correlation to the film.

For example, Bigfoot was the working title for Ant-Man.

TMNT 2's working title:

Turtle Ninjas.

Uh, well a working title isn't always to go incognito, that's not the only use, sometimes it's just a place holder.


No reason to permanently decide this soon to call it "More Turtles This Time" when after editing it turns into "April Movie 2".

Yeah, because a Mikey joke about the billboard is kind of a sure thing now. (I swear to god if that is that same girl on it... )


Although "BOOO-ze" made me think of drunk Turtles. lol They may need to be to get through it.

The CGI character might be cheaper than a super model's paycheck at least.

Although I'm kind of terrified of the thought of the design Bay & Co. would likely come up with.
