TMNT 2 to Shoot in Albany

*Vicky82* · 03-10-2015, 03:30 PM

New Movie news on the sequel.

Quote:

Hollywood is returning to the Capital Region. Sources have confirmed to me that a scene in the movie "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2", the sequel to 2014's revival of the longstanding action franchise, will be shot in the city of Albany. The scene will involve a vehicle chase, and shooting will take place sometime in April. The majority of the movie will be shot in NYC, but producers have selected Albany for at least one of the movie's many action scenes.

So I'm guessing one of the turtles or April driving the turtle van and been chased by the foot soldiers and maybe the turtles will jump car to car taking out the foot.

*Shark_Blade* · 03-10-2015, 03:35 PM

Ooo I wonder what kind of action sequences. The snow chase was amazing.

*Galactus* · 03-10-2015, 03:50 PM

Wasn't there a scene in the Blue Door with the Foot Militia chasing the TMNT on Motorcycles? I always thought that would be a dead cert for the sequel loath as I am for them to take anything from the Blue Door.

*IndigoErth* · 03-10-2015, 04:15 PM

Ah, guess that's the stuff they had intended for next month. Don't wish to speculate too much really, but curious if Albany will be Albany in the film (and therefor a hint of locations for the storyline) or if part of it is simply a setting being used.

Spoiler:

Awesome! I wonder if the chase will involve Bebop and Rocksteady on a vehicle.

I hope whoever is at Albany, Can take photos and videos of this shoot, when it happens.

Albany is where they shot the snow chase scene for the first one, it was at a ski resort there. Are we seriously gonna have another snowy mountain car chase? Someone needs to remind this "creative team" that this is A NINJA TURTLE MOVIE, not Die Hard! Christ.

*Bry* · 03-10-2015, 05:12 PM

I mean, it's a Michael Bay production. He's perfected the art of doing the exact same thing again and again while getting people to keep throwing money at him. I wouldn't be surprised at all if TMNT2 is effectively the exact same movie as the first one.

Ahh, is that what it was. I'd wondered but had never gotten around to trying to figure it out. I know the winding roads seen for a moment (twice?) is supposedly in Hawks Nest (a small easter egg to me because I'd found out that the river that's seen for a second is the northern end the Delaware - I live near the south end, in the state that shares it's name

), had thought the building might have been around there, too.

Anyhow, I hope they don't do a repeat. I'm guessing that Sacks is just still located there and is probably behind the creation of Bebop and Rocksteady within that place.

I bet it'll be somewhere along the lines of Secret of the Ooze, Shredder has Sacks create an army of Mutants for him, and Bebop and Rocksteady are the result of that.

Kanon · 03-11-2015, 12:32 AM

Or they will make Baxter Stockman create new Mutants for Shredder with the laboratory Sacks left behind?
(the credits say that he appeared in the first, but I didn´t noticed him.

)

Second verse, same as the first!

Oy veh. At least this disaster has three fans going in, or one person with three accounts...who can tell these days!

Baxter's cameo is so quick it's blink and you'll miss it. He's basically black background scientist with no speaking lines.

I knew it was Half in the Bag before I even clicked the link.

Completely blown away when I saw it. They're nearly the exact same f*cking movie. THREE TIMES.

First post of the thread

So the exact same scene as the snow mountain chase in the first movie, except with MAYBE the Turtle van and MAYBE huge, probably racist versions of Bebop and Rocksteady.

Reminds of this quote from Futurama:

Quote:

Clever things make people feel stupid and unexpected things make them feel scared.

Can't make your movie too smart or feature too many new/interesting ideas. Gotta be the exact same thing over and over again. THAT'S what the people want!

Yeah, but it won't be in the snowy mountains though but probably on a motorway or a main road with other cars getting caught up in the crossfire.

*TigerClaw* · 03-11-2015, 11:37 AM

They are probably shooting in Albana, Because, that's where they shot Erick Sack's base.

I'm willing to bet that, Shredder goes to Erick Sack's place, Hands him the Mutagen canister, And its where Bebop and Rocksteady are created.

The snow scene was one of the most well-received bits from the first film, even from the harshest of critics. And the production team is well aware of that, so yeah. Wouldn't surprise me if it was repeated.

Me? I like that scene less and less each time I see it, so I wouldn't be fond of that particular deja vu.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Based on the fact that it's being filmed in Albany (unless there's something I missed)? At least give it some time to breathe.

Assuming Sacks lived, and that they won't pitch his character. It wouldn't be wise to keep him, considering how redundant of a character he is - although I do like William Fichtner a lot.

He most likely ended up in jail by the end of the 1st film, But he probably bailed himself out with all his money, And then he goes back to his home that's near the snowy mountains, then Shredder makes a surprise visit, Hands him the vial of mutagen.

*CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy* · 03-11-2015, 05:48 PM

If Platinum Dunes was run by intelligent decision-makers, they would ditch the worst parts of the 2014 movie that would have little impact on the story going forward.

I nominate Vernon and Sachs. Sachs was going to have huge impact, and then the script was violently castrated. Vernon is just annoying as well as useless.

And where most of you would argue against Megan Fox (some of you with legitimate grievances, while I suspect a good number of you simply hate on her because everyone else does), recasting her would have a much more visible impact on the movie going forward, and as such is much less likely to happen.

But please, for the love of God, don't bring back Vernon or Sachs. PLEASE.

Oh, and the Blue Door script was 75% crap, but it did have some gems. The Bebop & Rocksteady versus Splinter fight was pretty awesome, and I hope they keep it for the 2016 sequel!

B-Man · 03-11-2015, 06:05 PM

The show chase was awesome. One of those in a new setting with Bebop & Rocksteady thrown in the mix sounds f**kin brilliant to me

Would kill to see that.

*IndigoErth* · 03-11-2015, 06:11 PM

He did dip his finger into what was left after the container was smashed, while he was laying in a crater in the pavement. So even if they don't even have any more mutagen, me thinks he will be sneaky and will analyze that small sample in order to recreate it.

I'm sure the only way Fox would be out is if she herself chose not to return to it. Probably have a better chance of winning the lotto than her being replaced. As long as sorts like Bay are involved, no way they're taking out the woman with a camera target on her ass. After all, in the 21st century that is more important than, you know, the acting, more suitable casting, etc.

Spoiler: Yeah, the motorcycle chase. I believe blue door Shredder was driving one... Honestly, I'd kind of love to see the actual Bay Shredder trying to operate a motorcycle while wearing that metal suit.
