That is so cool that she lives in the Big Apple! Please be sure to share if you can get them!

[TigerClaw]

And just like the year before, I hope we get some leaked images of the Maquettes for Bebop and Rocksteady.

[blindturtle02]

Wow. A 2016 release? Yeah, I'll go see it. I've always wanted Krang to show up in a liveaction movie. I hope he's in the sequel, but can wait if they decide to put him in III. Bebop and Rocksteady ought to be cool too.

They are going to be huge monsters! My friend and I are excited.

[IndigoErth]

So curious how those two end up turning out.

Little worried about the concept of the Turtles supposedly having to lean extra human-looking this time around for reasons of speaking and emoting. Either they're going to have to backtrack on those claims or design some pretty funky looking warthog and rhino snouts. Maybe they just won't have a lot of dialogue?

Won't be surprised if they're pretty grotesque though.

Spoiler:

10 Turtle dollars bet it's bad enough that these 2014 Turtles look almost adorable in comparison.

Similar to IDW they're pretty huge in those books.

Yeah I'm pretty excited to see and hear stuff about the movie. B&R especially.

You really pick left field choices for different characters, so I'm intrigued. Who would you cast for the Following in TMNT 2: April (not Fox), Casey, B&R, and just cause he's in your avatar, and I really like that character, Pidgeon Pete.

Give reasons!

Okay, I take my fan-casting very seriously I have to think appropriate & feasible choices (not dream choices) otherwise it's not as much a challenge.

April: Kat Dennings, Alexandra Daddario, Amanda Seyfried, Camilla Belle or Leighton Meester. Notice these are not great actresses. But they have their charm, they're gorgeous, they're better actresses than Fox and it's plausible that they would replace her in a Ninja Turtles sequel.

Casey Jones: I was pushing Aaron Paul on another thread. Then I watched Need For Speed. Action films are not his forte. Cam Gigandet or Toby Kebbell. Gigandet has a permanent expression on his face that says I've-been-up-to-no-good, he's got the physique, he can seem dangerous (watch The Experiment) and he'd have chemistry with Fox. Kebbell may not be traditionally handsome enough for what I assume PD would go for but he's a kickass actor (he stole Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes) & would make an awesome Jones.

Bebop & Rocksteady: Wesley Snipes & Danny McBride. Blade and Kenny Powers would be a hilarious duo as the warthog & rhino. They could also be intimidating together. They're not big enough stars that mo-cap is out of the question. They could do that or just lend their terrific voices.

Pidgeon Pete: Justin Roiland. May be obscure but if you've watched Rick & Morty or any of his other crazy cartoons, you know the guy can do manic & pathetic at exact the same time. He's also insanely funny.

Your turn!

I know why *I* am so opposed to this series and others of its ilk. I take movies seriously. Maybe "too seriously" but that's my prerogative. I don't have money to support BAD film versions of things I enjoy, so if they want my dollars, they can't just "show up" and slap a brand name sticker on it. Further, resources are finite in the business, as well. Only so many movies can be made every year. For every sh*t movie that gets made - and god forbid, CELEBRATED - there are other, more deserving movies, ones that could possibly be of substance, that can NOT be made.

There are already far too many bad movies, and I'm not an enabler. Simple enough? It infuriates me that consumers will celebrate anything from mediocrity to flat-out swill, defending it as "just entertainment", whereas entertainment doesn't have to be Simple Things For Simple Minds. And many of those same people, when confronted with something of substance, will often avoid it entirely for fear it will be "boring" or something.

The fact that people seem to increasingly insulate themselves ONLY with "lowest-common-denominator" entertainment angers and frightens me. It's not JUST this movie. It's "Twilight". It's "Dancing With The Stars". It's Nicki Minaj. It's the fact that Crap is EVERYWHERE already, and if you want anything actually GOOD, you have to go on a goddamn scavenger hunt.

It's been said for centuries that you can tell everything you need to know about a society by how it entertains itself. Well, from all outward appearances, we are now a society that celebrates Junk. Not merely "enjoys" it, as we all do from time to time. But PRAISES it. That, to me, is seriously troubling. People could argue I take "entertainment" too seriously, but maybe those same people might take a look at themselves and wonder what is exactly so bad about someone wanting things that are more than just Fluff.

Too many people accept "good enough" when they need to aim higher.

Back on Topic

Since they are filming in NY again.

I wonder what sort of big set pieces will they bring in the sequel, The snow chase and the rooftop fight were the two big ones in the first movie.

With Bebop and Rocksteady involved, The battle would have to take place in the streets of NY, Maybe with some collateral damage. The world doesn't know who they are yet, The battle could take place either in daylight or nighttime.

This also presents another possibility that the world, would get its first exposure to Mutants, If Bebop and Rocksteady show up, and causing a considering amount of damage to the city.

The Turtles would have to take them on, and stop them from hurting more people.

Do we have a list of confirmed cast? Since they're gonna start filming this soon.

Does Shia plays Casey?

Not yet, But I assume the actors who played the Turtles will be back.

[Shark_Blade]

I hope so. Wish Pete Ploszek gets to voice Leo like the rest of the brothers too (like seriously wtf Paramount?).

[Gunpowder]

It's been said plenty of times before, but I too hope Ploszek gets to do the voice this time around. When I first heard about Knoxville's casting, I was fine with it, but I ended up not caring for his voice at all...

Did they actually say that?

Here's the thing: they had already had a chance to convert us. And they talked a big game then, and almost everything they promised was a complete lie. And the sequel's being made by almost entirely the same people. Why would anyone believe them this time?

The first movie was cobbled together around a single action set piece (the mountain scene that's been in every draft while the rest was repeatedly torn apart and pieced back together around it), so I really doubt working from a solid script is a priority here. The story was clearly considered disposable - all that mattered was the brand name and delivering a Transformers/Bayhem-style spectacle.

If the producers can just get the **** out of the way, and the writers work with him, he might do something better than the first. He's a kid, but he seems to be a very very bright kid.

That's the thing. It could be a good thing, but even the best directors can make terrible movies if all the other pieces are working against them. Film is collaborative. Even the best director out there can't save a movie from a bad script, bad producers and bad editing. It's all gonna depend on whether the writers and producers have learned their lesson, but I have pretty serious doubts about that. They're welcome to prove me wrong, but I'm not gonna buy a ticket to find out.

If I had to recast the role as it is? Mary Elizabeth Winstead for April.



She's not too far off from the general "look" (at least in this picture), but she's a muuuuuch better actor, has a lot of genuine charm, and is more attractive to boot. I'd immediately take her 1000x more seriously as April than Megan Fox.

Can't say them out loud though.
