New Kevin Eastman interview, mentions the PD films
http://www.thenational.ae/blogs/scen...-kevin-eastman
Apparently the Platinum Dunes movies possess "the darker edge of the comic books." Oh, Kevin.

I really can't take the man seriously. If it's TMNT, he approves. That's it. I appreciate his work and his enthusiasm, but he has pretty much zero credibility with me. "Lost Angeles", huh? What happened to his "Fistful of Blood?" Did that already tank? I read the first two issues and it's staple Eastman run-and-gun with some blood-and-boobs thrown in for fun.

Run and gun, blood and boobs. Loud noise, no intelligence.

Or more interestingly promised it would feature "older, angrier, grittier Turtles."

Almost as bad as Kevin comparing the 2014 film's fight scenes to The Raid.

Darkest part of the second is probably just the mood and conflict between the Turtles themselves. |

There's a difference between darkness and conflict.
Platinum Dunes has ZERO darkness. Darkness is Splinter forced to consume rats to survive, or the Turtles wondering what their role in City at War is and if all of the deaths and violence aren't their own fault... Comic book films like The Dark Knight or Captain America Civil War have "darkness" in them. Hell, some Pixar films have more darkness in them than anything PD has ever done.

Pretty much my point, that that was the closest thing to it, which isn't really anything.
And true about Nick. Those little guys witnessed Splinter murdered even. If PD wants to ever venture into a third and add some darkness, then, I dunno... do something big, like kill of Fox's April. And Vern maybe. That would be okay. Distraught Casey then can have a break down and snap, becoming a Casey we recognize. Prob why those films won't go dark though. They'd end up having to be rated R and lose all that kid money. Yup, HBO or something needs a TMNT project. |
