CGI Movie In 2007

?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Is this for real or did someone make a booboo??? Or is this a buncha intact male bovine excrement?

Depending on the magazine, it could just be some kind of CG magazine where people can shocase works etc... but you never know.

Dunno if this has been posted yet...

A friend of mine saw an add in Variety that stated a CGI film was coming in 2007. I emailed Dan Burger about this, asking if this was the mo vie news mentioned in Issue #18(?) But so far havn't gotten a response about it...

Here's the reply I got concerning the add..

> Hey, thought you might find it interesting that in yesterday's Variety
> there was a full page ad of Leo in shadow with "Congratulations Teenage
> Mutant Ninja Turtles! 20 Years and Still Shelling it Out... $600 Million
> Retail in 2004... CGI film in 2007"
>
> I'll try to take it home and scan it for you if you haven't seen it yet.

Doubt that is fully true. Laird has stated that he enjoyed the style of the LOTR films and wanted to do somthing like that.

Personally I would not like full CGI, but if it came between no movie or CGI of course I would give in.

Yea, Buslady posted on this earlier today with an ebay auction for the ad poster...

Ummm, thats interesting. Shows that TMNT is not only still going strong but that confidense and popularity in the franchise hasn't even reached in peak.

marleynaki · 03-17-2005, 02:25 PM

i hope this poster will be true!!

is in the front of the web site...

I don't hope it will be true. The anime type of action is great now for a movie. CGI would be too overdone and be tacky. Live action is and always has been the way to go for a TMNT movie. The comic movies anymore are not CGI, why the F*ck would you want TMNT to be?

Sorry for the outburst people, but this whole TMNTCGI **** really pisses me off.

on another note, don't believe ANYTHING without hearing it from Pete, Dan or some of the guys out at Mirage.

Shows like Beast Wars and even utter crap like Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within have proven CGI is far from "tacky".

FF: The Spirits Within was not utter crap. The movie was very alienating to many western viewers because the themes were extremely japense in their ideology/philosophy.

I do agree though that CGI is not tacky. Look at Shrek and Shrek 2. Most of the special effects in Spider-Man 2 were CGI. Have you seen introduction to the PC game World of Warcraft? That CGI is more amazing than Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within.

TheShowstoppa · 03-17-2005, 08:00 PM

What I'm saying is: For a movie like this, complete CGI would be tacky. A TMNT movie should NEVER be CGI. Ever. Did you see the clips for the CGI show... it wouldn't have worked.

As for effects, I'm all for CG, just as long as they don't go OVERBOARD! I think it would be great to see what they can come up with with a mixture of CG and live action effects... Those possibilities are ENDLESS! It almost makes me cream my britches thinking about it!

CGI is not tacky in whole, but it would bother me to no extent if this movie was CG. Even though I'll go see it no matter what, I say NO To CGI in 2007... which my signature will soon show!

**Jester** · 03-17-2005, 08:10 PM

How old was that CGI though, with today's tech the TMNT in CGI could look a whole lot better....

Demonfox38 · 03-17-2005, 08:13 PM

That old CGI trailer had to have been from 1996-1998, maybe. Technology has expanded a lot from that time, but it'd still seem weird to see the turtles in CGI. Unless it was something like Live Action + CGI (Star Wars?), it'd probably be strange to see the entire thing animated that way.

Either Live Action or Cartoon's probably the best. It's what we're familiar with, and a change in medium might be poorly exicuted.

*PizzaPower* · 03-17-2005, 08:31 PM

it would be nice to see a tmnt movie in cgi, but it does not mather to me as long as we get a new movie.

Direct reply from Dan Burger

>>I'm afraid I don't know - I haven't seen the ad, so I don't know who
placed it. The folks Peter is working with on the script are shooting
for a 2007 release, so it could be legit.>>>

Hmmm..thats interesting...you'd think that Dan would be a bit more in the loop if it was in fact true...unless, he's not supposed to divluge anything before Pete's officially informs eeryone...

*Spitfire* · 03-18-2005, 12:03 PM

CGI turtles are fine I guess. Kids in this generation cant appricate a guy in a rubber suit doing ninja moves any how. They might as well CGI the turtles or atleast make they costumes look really good like LOTR good. The costumes in TMNT 2 were still awesome though. Just dated. I hope they do make a movie Ill go see it hell

I'm a kid in this generation, and I happen to like the rubber suit turtles a lot!
I'm not really sure how they would pull this off though. However, CGI has come a long way. Ya never know.

*cowabunga14* · 03-18-2005, 07:39 PM

I don't think it would be a good idea to do the movie in CGI cuz theres so many limitations and problems with CGI. Jim Henson's Turtles for the first movie were great. He really did a spectacular job bringin' the TMNT to life. New Line should do the movie so its live action. Live action is great because the actors just suit up and get out there and do there thing. CGI can be frustraring and the VA's might be worse then Townsend Coleman's Mikey's VA when he sounded like a girl. Live action is great cuz its live and the movie'll be better if its live action. CGI is ok but I live action is better cuz then more people'll see it. If the movie's live action then the Turtles should be based off of Jim Henson's designs. That'd be great.

raphaelprime · 03-18-2005, 07:56 PM

im not sure a complete CGI movie would be all that great, but now if they had it look as nice as Shrek, Shrek 2, Ice Age, and Robots look, then i might cave in, but yeh, as mentioned above, if its like the show that never made it, ill prolly be a lil dissapointed...but i think it would be so much better n be a bigger a hit if it were to be more like Spidey and Spidey2....on a side note to a post above, FF: Spirits Within, had some nice CGI(maybe not quite as good as some parts of the latest 2 games, IX and X but still nice), and BeastWars was a classic with the CGI cartoon. but those are my thoughts..and im not sure if it'll be a CGI movie, but ill wait till mr. Laird gives more info on it in a future issue of TMNT.
