Trailer up! - Page 5

Kingpin · 07-21-2006, 11:50 AM

That's three movies I'm looking forward to in 2007, Spider-Man 3, TMNT and Transformers.

Speaking off...

Aw c'mon Spengs, it's like MasterSplinter said... it's meant to tease... he's also gone on record saying he doesn't want anything leaking before the movie... with Turtles there's a specific theme that's always consistant in every vision of the franchise... these Transformers are something new and unique...

Anyway, I'm psyched. The tone is perfectly gritty and moody, something that is so very strong in the first movie and works with the Turtles using shadow for cover with their Ninja training.

The animation is nice and fluid, and they feel like they're got 'mad ninja skilz' (Pardon the l33t)

But they can obviously do stuff that the stuntmen (As impressive as they were) couldn't do in the foam suits.

The revised head design looks really good in comparison to the older teaser posters, and even the logo looks good (The one on the old posters was great, but it was taken straight from the cartoon)

My only minor gripe is that the NYPD squadcar (Despite having the official logo, it seems) looks more LAPD... but that's a minor visual thing.

I want the TMNT to have their own recognizable leitmotifs too. But if they don't... meh. I've got my own for them anyway.

There are also mp3 previews on the site.

My personal favourite posters:

Gotta love the bit of lighthearted tone they're taking with Mikey.

I love how the sneak peek turtle poster with all 4 turtles on it is a homage to the first issue cover.

to you and anyone else who cant watch the movie, please follow my instructions, because i had the same problem last night.

your most likely using firefox if your getting a message "this trailor requires Quicktime extension 5 to function" or something of that nature.

1. Go to www.quicktime.com and download the latest version [quicktime 7]
2. install it
3. browse to your quicktime folder and inside the plugins folder, locate and delete all the "npqtplugin.dll" and "npqtplugin2.dll" files.
4. browse to your Firefox folder and inside the plugins folder, locate and delete the npqtplugin files just like in step 3.
5. clean out your browsers cache and cookies
6. try the trailor again [btw, even after i did this i had problems in FF, try using IE, sadly it works well in there]

While watching the trailer, I was getting worried that it was going to be a serious dark film, which really doesn't show the true attitude of the TMNT imo. Then, Mikey falls through the garbage and you see that this will have that comical TMNT attitude to it. Great trailer!

Kingpin · 07-21-2006, 01:09 PM

After taking a look at the hi-res version of the teaser sneak poster... I'm almost willing to say that some, if not most of the events in the animation have existed since it was revealed in the (last?) SDCC, however bare in mind if there's been commentary on the sneak peak of a teaser ffilm back then... I haven't come across said commentary yet.

Zelda · 07-21-2006, 01:28 PM

Watching it again (and again and again): I love the music, and the face style reminds me a lot of Mikey from the first movie.

Sliced, your icon is awesome!

Luckoff...FANTASTIC posters and wallpapers! I WANT THEM ALL

I don't know, their arms look thicker than their legs, especially Donny. <- That may be where I'm getting the frog feel XD

The monster army is ehhhh for me. I really liked that the first three movies didn't HAVE to go the route of 'grr, arg, LOOK AT HUGE MONSTERS AND ALIEN SPACESHIP EXPLOSIONS!' Although I think they'll do it well with how much they seem to be fleshing out the character relationships so it's not just going to be a dumb action flick.

I'm psyched to see Karai in this ^_^

I forget if I mentioned but I also really like how they went with BOTH the pupilless eyes AND the pupil eyes... it's weird, but it works the way it's done.

Wait... so Leo's been gone for a year training under Ancient One?! Hmm... wonder if he's in it....

Oh and I LOVE the look of Karai!

TerranigmaFreak · 07-21-2006, 01:44 PM

I made this little gif on my spare time. I hope you guys like it. I only have Don right now, but I'll work on the others soon.

Edit: Oops, there's a mistake there. I had to fix it up.

This interview and it is candid and fantastic.

I'm not sure who's talking all the time... it's Kevin Munroe? and who else? One of the producers... Fred Fierst??? ...it's someone who worked on the original flicks.

They mention that when they were developing the look of the film, they were inspired by The Third Man. The Third Man is film noir with great dramatic lighting. (I am a total lighting geek so so this is fab news for me.)

*Masked Ninja* · 07-21-2006, 02:12 PM

Gahh, I'm so frustrated!

I've read this thread and I'm already pumped, but I'm on dialup right now and there's no way I can see this until I get to the library! So relieved to hear that it wasn't as bad as we were fearing.

Oh, and just looking at those concept/character sketches... if they don't come out with an"Art of TMNT" book, I will go on a rampage. That book would be flippin' AWESOME. *geek*

He was my second type. More obvious in that role but definitely less funny to receive a kick.

Seriously. In the interview that johnnyblaze posted, Kevin Munroe talks about how they developed the art. At one point he says, "We actually lit the movie as a black-and-white movie before we even added any color to it. We took stills from the the previews that were going through and we created hundreds, I would say easily over a thousand, lighting cues going through[...]. I wanted to be able to-- and I'd still love to do it-- go through and just get freeze frames from the movie, just grab stills, and it should be able to read like a legit comic book[...]." ...and I'm like, well, DO IT!

He also said that they took some clips from the first film and reanimated them in CG to see how well the CG compared... and they might be on the DVD as extras.

People, listen to the MP3 if you haven't yet. It's a huge file, but you should still be able to get it even on dialup... it's worth it. Normally I would do a transcript, but the thing is so freaking long (Kevin Munroe speedtalks!) and my wrists hurt.

TuRtLeTiTaN · 07-21-2006, 03:37 PM

OMG THIS IS AWSOME that trailer was awsome man and the movie posters looks good to and so dose the game it all looks so cool even the date it comes out is cool the same date as the first movie came out but if anyone went to the SDCC and got extras i will pay to get thoses items

Aztec General · 07-21-2006, 03:46 PM

Wow that interview was awesome! Kevin Munroe just plain GETS IT! I have full faith in his vision of the TMNT.

I loved how he described the story as "family based". Because in the long run the TMNT ARE a family first and foremost. Just like the first film, it seems that the story will be character based. I'm very psyched by that news.

I also think the story sounds amazing. Prodigal son Leo is away training only to find out that his family is lost. Raphael is secretly joining Casey to fight crime and it seems Don and Mike are focusing their attentions elsewhere. Thus Splinter grows concerned and him and Leo must try to restore unity and vision to the family. All the while a mad industrialist, funded by the Foot Clan, is creating an army of monsters which are threatening the city.

One of the reasons I love this story so much is that it reminds me of my favorite televison show "Six Feet Under". Which was about how the prodigal son Nate returned to his family and how his return influenced the other members. That's the same story being told here!! Those of you who know Six Feet Under certainly know what a great story that was too.

It's also cool that Munroe says that the "PG" rating will be "pushed to the limits" and we can expect Blade/Matrix style action.

Color me excited!

*iris* · 07-21-2006, 03:57 PM

The lighting in this trailer is exactly what NYC looks like at night, including all the light pollution that turns the sky that reddish color and allows you to see everything except what's in the deepest shadows. There's graffiti on the walls here and there where the walls are accessible, but that's the kind of thing you expect. I also spotted some art deco joint covers on an old building, air conditioners in windows, freaking cable tv lines running upside the walls... and curtains. (I swear, most movie producers like to pretend that nobody has curtains even though the windows are viewable by hundreds of people across the street.) If the actual movie maintains this level of detail, I'm gonna be one happy camper.

Sliced · 07-21-2006, 03:58 PM

Yeah that interview was awsome. Man if he can pull this off, we might have another tmnt trilogy on our hands. I'm still jumping everywhere because of the trailer, that interview sure haven't slowed me down !

The only thing I'm not too sure off is the monsters thing. I don't want this to be another Scooby Doo. You know what I mean ? Although I'm sure that alot of people are gonna say that when they will get out of the theaters... Just hope it won't happen that way.

And if you guys are intersested, there's some wallpapers in the fan art section
if you want to create some of your own it would be cool
