Your most mourned undeveloped projects

Ah! My mistake, I got the old paperbacks mixed up!

Oh yeah, and the sequel to the 2007 I guess. Not that I care that much either but the 2007 movie is the one to almost get the tone right, maybe producers would have learned a lesson if a sequel was made?

I really need to reread The Blue Door. With work, it could've been better. Nix the TMNT as alien stuff. rework Schrader/Shredder character, add some martial arts mysticism and the Foot, maybe in the vein of Big Trouble in Little China. From memory, I liked the road trip stuff. I liked the pacing and structure.

This video is a good summary of it if you don't feel like reading the whole thing:

Yeah, maybe.

I've heard Munroe talk about his idea for the story. Basically he was going to have Mikey join the Foot Clan because his brothers didn't take him seriously. He was going to be off in Japan doing his own this for most of the movie while everyone else was dealing with the return of the Shredder in NYC. The third act would have been about him coming home and helping turn the tide against Shredder and more or less saving the day.

Kind of funny that he would have almost definitely had a black mask. I wonder how that would have effected the development of The Last Ronin, if it wasn't Butterfly Effected out of existence in this hypothetical reality.

I found this out recently, there was actually going to be another Tournament Fighters game for the Gameboy (coming out the same time as the NES, SNES and Genesis versions), and that one would have Michelangelo on the cover (notice how each of the 3 had a different Turtle on the cover). It was canceled though.

I'm interested to see how they would have pulled off an old black and white Gameboy TMNT fighting game. They had Gameboy ports of Mortal Kombat and Killer Instinct on Gameboy, so I could have seen them doing a Gameboy Tournament Fighters. Would have been an interesting curiosity at the least.
