Where should the Platinum Dunes TMNT movie draw it's inspiration?

**Jester** · 06-20-2012, 04:23 PM

Since it seems there is a chasm amongst fans as to how they should go about making this new movie, it's time for a highly unscientific poll to see just what Turtle fans DO want in a TMNT movie.

This should be fun, and in no way lead to a flame war, right?

I'd prefer a "Mirage" street level take with some clever writing.

But this is a new generation, so it should maybe if it isn't it's own beast have similarities to either the new Nick toon or the IDW comics

I Voted Image because that would a very Interesting film. Just imagine the reaction it would create.

Yeah...2 years ago.

In my opinion, IDW has been doing everything mostly right. It feels like a good mix of a bunch of different universes.

If it was based on IDW with a little more Mirage influence, that would be great.

I dunno... none of the arcs going on in IDW are really anywhere near reaching a climax as far as I can tell. It'll probably be a while before I would deem the content big screen worthy.

However, the mash-up of all the different versions is cool. Even if there's no chance of pleasing everyone.

*Powder* · 06-20-2012, 08:52 PM

An amalgamation of things would be ideal, but a Mirage tone with new stuff mixed could work for me too.

Turtles works best mixed. And I agree with what Powder said here.

It looks like #12 is the big battle between the Turtles and the Foot. Seems like that would be the climax of most of the arcs.

But, if one were to remove the Krang and Hob arcs, and somehow replace them with the Foot, then I think it could work in film.

EDIT: Well, wouldja' look at that. I'm at 1500 posts.

i voted for completely new stuff, hope u dont mind?

Ravenxl7 · 06-20-2012, 11:37 PM

I think it should draw inspiration from more than one of the previous incarnations, while bringing in some new stuff of it's own. I'd love to see Krang involved in some way. Maybe even a race of Kraang like the new series. The Triceratons could make for an interesting story arc. Also, as sill as they may be, I wouldn't mind seeing some concepts from the would-be Next Mutation movie. Though I don't think they would ever consider doing so.

What I don't want to see, is for it to be a slavish remake of any one previous TMNT era. Which I don't think would happen anyways, so I'm not genuinely worried about that.

I voted for Fred Wolf since I really want to see the live action/CGI Technodrome, plus that's still the version of the franchise that the general public is most familiar with, so it would do good with the financial aspect. Plus, that is what "El Mayimbe" is supposedly saying is in the script. Though more realistically I'd like a mix of everything that has worked best up to this point, including the positives of IDW and perhaps Nickelodeon to woo the younger audiences to see this new movie.

*TurtleTitan97* · 06-22-2012, 12:26 PM

I'm voting for Nick's upcoming series.

What? You haven't even seen the hole thing yet. But it would be nice if it came to be a contender.

I know that, but after seeing the trailer and all the stuff we've heard, I got a good feeling about the show, and I think it would be cool to see a movie based off some stuff from it.

LOL Turtle Tunes/ Turtle's Christmas.

If this is the only movie we get, I don't really care; a mix would work well. I voted Mirage. I just want a story entirely in the NYC Urban setting with some sweet ninja/gang thug fights and running around on rooftops and in sewers.
