I absolutely think they should make it a quasi-sequel to the 1990 movie. And use the same director, if possible. Do it like GHOSTBUSTERS:AFTERLIFE. Very loosely acknowledge the original movie, ignore the sequels, and let it be its own thing for the most part. I even thought if they dont want to explain/use The Fugitoid, they could replace him with an A.I. designed by Donnie and get Corey Feldman back to do the voice. Judith Hoag would be a great choice for Old April. As far as the futuristic setting...they can use the Volume for the establishing shots and then a lot of the rest of it can be on sets. It would not be that hard or expensive to do a live-action Last Ronin that way. And I agree that Turtle in Suit is the way to go-get the Henson company back and let them go nuts designing new and improved Turtle suits.

My only concern is Paramount being on the verge of getting sold and who knows what the current owners may kill in the process. I actually like Walter Hamada and hope he can get it across the finish line. He had a lot of great ideas for how to save DC that werent implemented due to the company being sold. Hope that doesnt derail his plans yet again.

Do you understand connecting it as a legacy recalibration in the vein of ghostbusters after life or Halloween blumhouse trillogy doesn't make sense the 90s movies are outdated and don't match the tone of last ronin the movies deviate from the serious tone of the mirage books after the first film

You talking about those same movies where the tmnt break out into choreographed dance numbers to 90s techno rock rap and new jack swing music. Where the turtles took a back seat in their own movie shot through the perspective of a news reporter April Danny Pennington or a keno that pushes the narrative along and becomes a vehicle for ernie reyes jr and is an afterschook special about family just like what they rumored the blade reboot is going to be about that same film series where shredder is an incompetent crime kingpin like his 87 counterpart hes an incel who grooms abunch of kids to steal things only children would care about and they are trained by an o.c. henchmen second in command tatsu they fight with slap stick comedy and hand to hand most the time they toss their weapons aside or use katana as a dull club than use it what's its meant for none of the mirage characters in the last ronin has never got a proper introduction in the movies and when they have their wasted in favor for the 87 toon characters or brand new oc villains and side characters nobody asked for.

That you want a legacy movie off of and not a mirage movie?????

Still a little pissed that the turtles never wanted revenge on Bebop and Rocksteady. Even if they don't want to kill, they can still teach them a lesson by taking away their eyes, hands or feet.

Thank you. That's what I've been preaching. TLR movie (and game to a lesser extent) is Paramount finally acknowledging that adult TMNT fans exist.

It's bizarre to me that it would even take that long. Why voluntarily restrict your own profit by refusing to allow the more mature side of the brand to exist more broadly and not just be confined to a comics corner and nothing more...

Per the Old Turtle Den:

IDW will be doing a 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - The Last Ronin: The Bestselling Graphic Novel That Inspired The Movie" panel at Comic-Con

The panel will have:
-Kevin Eastman
-Tom Waltz
-The Escorza Brothers
-Ben Bishop
-Luis Antonio Delgado

it will take place Saturday 7/27 at 2pm in room #4

Considering we have no cast or anything, seems a bit odd to be promoting a movie that's nothing more than an announcement. Guess this would be a good place to reveal who may be in it finally.

Will it be like this announcement?

Huh. What could possibly even be said? lol Taking 5 mins to discuss the idea of a film?

Unless they managed to keep it quiet and are further in pre-production and closer to a start of filming than we know. I'd have a hard time believing that, but... Batman vs TMNT was itself a surprise, announced just weeks (maybe a month?) before release, so it wouldn't be a first. Granted that's animation and able to be kept quiet longer than a live action could but, point being, it refrained from any leaks.

I guess at least it's good to get confirmation that it isn't just a random momentary idea that immediately got put aside. It better get recorded and put online.



But "That Inspired The Movie" sounds like talking about something that already happened. Did I fall asleep or did they hop a time machine to come back and tell us.

100% my thought. It honestly just feels like they're going to be talking about the comic, and it's was bait for people who may have been introduced to this series now that there's a movie in production.

It's baffling, and I'm sure it will amount to nothing.

Dude wtf, hahahaha. This feels like a Tim and Eric sketch.

This movie is never coming out.

What they will probably do is a direct to DVD/streaming animated movie of The Last Ronin, similar to the Batman/TMNT crossover movie and other DC movies. That I can see them doing as an adaption of the comic into an hour and 20 minute animated film.

Suggesting taking away the one chance at a live action theatrical film for older people, stifling it on DVD that the casual movie-goer will never hear about... just for that I hope there are nostrils.

I'd take an animated Last Ronin movie. I wonder if we'll ever get a second Batman vs TMNT movie eventually?

Oh, yeah, we’d probably get to see Donatello turn into a ripped junkie.

Only if they completely jettison that script for the second one and rewrite it by someone who understands who Bane is.

Considering Venom has similar effects to anabolic steroids when it comes to muscle mass, what are the odds of Venom also causing... "Organ shrinkage"?

The "Batman: Knightfall" novel by Dennis O'Neil sort of tackled that. No shrinkage, but he can't get it up when he's on it.

That seems unlikely. Not one adaptation has EVER gotten Bane right. The closest was the The Dark Knight Rises which, despite changing his entire backstory, was the only version that actually acted and felt like Bane.
