okay then. the Eastman interview where he teased the Netflix series was never confirmed? my bad then. I thought it had life at one point. Bummer! Thanks, Andrew.

what kind of animation do you think they will go with here?

That's a good question. They could either go with a more cartoony art style or go with a more highly detailed style like the stuff you see from Disney or Dreamworks.

Or they could go with the style that is similar to the 2007 CGI movie.

with how it seems to be catching on i wouldn't be surprised if they go for a "stylized/low framerate" approach like in spider-verse, the new spongebob movie or connected

considering that jeff rowe is involved with connected maybe that could be what they're planning

Maybe. or they go the motion capture route so that they can be able to do some really cool martial arts with the CGI animation.

i don't know about that, i'm fine with motion capture when it's applied to explicitly non-human characters or animated films with a cast of non-human characters but it just doesn't look good when it's applied to humans

i remember loving the polar express when i was a kid and while i still have a soft spot for it the designs of the characters aren't something i'd say holds up about it. the tintin movie was the best it was ever utilized but i still don't think it was the right approach. and the less said about mars needs moms the better

you can still convey good martial arts in animation as long as you simply do the necessary research and have a spot-on understanding of it, the kung fu panda movies were a testament to this

With this virus very possibly being one of the factors in movie attention turning to a new CGI instead of live action, since a lot of it can be done by people in separate locations, I won't hold my breath on there being any mocap. Esp if it's not realistic looking CGI, it would just be a waste anyhow imo if this is likely more cartoon looking.

I really hope not. Spiderverse was a super dope movie but that animation style was so jarring, it really put me off.

when do you guys think we will get an update on this movie?

I think dialogue recording is usually done very early into production, so maybe we'll get the voice cast announced reasonably soon.

Or... that might all happen in secret under non-disclosure agreements, with an announcement delayed till much nearer release.

After all the silence, is it still a thing? I hope we can at least see designs in the near future, that would be reasonable.

I think it'll be awhile... I don't see this thing coming out until 2023/24. I'd be happy to be wrong though.

Maybe we'll get some voice casting news next year. Who knows. Were all curious who will voice the Turtles. My money's on some big names doing some of the voices. Because you know they love casting some big stars which gives the movie a lot more attention.

With Seth Rogen producing. Don't be surprise if he voices a character in the movie. In fact he could voice one of the Turtles. But who?
