Let's flex our muscles for a new director for the sequel!

Purse Grabbin Puke · 08-10-2014, 12:11 PM

Let's see if we can influence PD to get a decent director for the sequel.

We're not going to get someone like Chris Nolan, but maybe we can get some up and comers or someone who has shown that they can do a movie like TMNT II.

A few suggestions

McG - I loved Terminator Salvation. He's been relegated back to dumb movies and tv shows. I think what he did with an established franchise was very good. And he stays VERY faithful to the origins.

Rob Schrab - He's directed a bunch of animated stuff, and he's directed a few episodes of Community. I have no doubt he could pull off a TMNT movie.

Matt Reeves - He did an amazing job on Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. He's worked with incredible Mo-Cap.

Doug Liman - Directed Edge of Tomorrow, Bourne Identity, Jumper

Nimrod Antal - He directed Predators, and Vacancy. Yes those are action/horror, and horror, but the guy has the creativity to be able to do something w/ the Turtles.

Let's hear some more suggestions.

Darren Aronofsky. The Wrestler, The Fountain, Requiem for a Dream, Black Swan. He came close to directing The Wolverine but dropped out

If there is one thing that can make the sequel better it's replacing Liebsman. I do not think TMNT was an improvement over any of his past work from a creative standpoint, but it's clearly a box office success thanks to the strong brand and some good humor (thanks mikey) and cgi

Joss Whedon (although thats never going to happen)
Steve Barron - Dude knows how its done

*Cure* · 08-10-2014, 12:20 PM

If Joss Whedon were to direct, I promise you anyone who thought the first movie would be all about April would be right about the second one. Dude loves making sh*t all about the ladies.

Yeah seriously. Maria Hill and Black Widow were going to be the focus of Avengers before Disney got him to rewrite.

RedRocBoy · 08-10-2014, 12:26 PM

Honestly I had no problem with Liebsman. Just hope the script for the sequel is a little more serious. Hop they go the City at War/City Fall route. Would be so dope to actually have them introduce Bebop,Rocksteady and Casey. Then have Shredder actually take conrol of New York. Ending the film with a cliffhanger. And a end credit scene teasing General Krang.

I just have this feeling w/ all the cut footage, that he did a terrible job and the editor had to save his ass. What the editor put together was ok for me, but I want so much more out of the sequel.

*NinjaPug* · 08-10-2014, 12:49 PM

I bet they hire Brett Ratner if Liebesman doesn't return.

Terrible, just terrible. Good thing Disney made him re-write the thing.

*Warhorse* · 08-10-2014, 12:55 PM

Hire somebody who doesn't use the shaky cam gimmick.

BS. Black Widow wasn't even in the first draft because they were unsure of Scarlett's availability.

It did have the Wasp though.

Let's get back on track, Joss is not going to do a TMNT sequel, can we get some legit suggestions?

Brett Ratner just directed the Hercules movie. Did anyone see it? I haven't and it's like the first Rock flop in years.

*NinjaPug* · 08-10-2014, 01:06 PM

Ratner would be another bland studio director that has no distinguishable vision. Basically Liebesman without the shaky cam.

*Raven* · 08-10-2014, 01:17 PM

As long as bay is producer, getting rid of lieberman won't matter. Some one with the same style will be given the job. What we need is better writers.

*Slade* · 08-10-2014, 01:20 PM

How bout no sequel....just a thought. I'm sure it won't happen though.

Tora · 08-10-2014, 01:22 PM

Edger Wright would be my choice. He has done some great work in the past.

Best idea I've heard all weekend.

ScrewtheMirageTMNT · 08-10-2014, 01:29 PM

Edgar Wright is awful. I thought that scott pilgrim vs the word was really craptacular, as for the rest of his body of work? It's not appealing to me.

X-men: first class and the wolverine (the director's cut) are the only good x-meny films if you ask me.
