Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 Gets A New Title!

[AlZarkovski]

Now “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Half-Shell”

From here.

[IndigoErth]

Please only be a "working title." Surely.

[TrickOrTreater]

[Leo656]

Hah. What.

I'd say "Please be false", but this is one case where I'm actively rooting for a worst-case scenario. I want this thing to fail so hard nobody ever makes a TMNT movie again.

For this plan to work, every single thing needs to be as terrible as possible. So far, great start.

Hey... more like, "TMNT: Half-ASS", am I RIGHT?!

Had to.

Took the words out of my mouth.


If they don't at least come up with a semi impressive title by this time next year, they need to drop out of the business. At that point film making is just too hard for them.

Aww, y'beat me to it.

Man, I wish I could be this objectively terrible at everything I do and still just skate by in life. Ah, to be a Platinum Dunes producer...

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

For a brief fleeting moment, I was excited.

Then I read the title.

Now I hate Michael Bay just a little bit more.

That's gotta be a working title. Usually when they film movies, They have a working title that has nothing to do, with the actual name of the film, Its usually to hide the fact, That they are filming the movie.

[Galactus]

Aren't working titles to disguise the movie so that info doesn't leak and so on? Like The Blue Door, it referred to something in the script but if you hadn't read the script no one would know but "Half Shell" doesn't exactly disguise anything especially when you've got people blurting it out in interviews.

I love how the interviewer doesn't hide how bad it sounds.

Oh, yeah, that's a title that's gonna fool everybody. "'Half-Shell'... huh... must be a movie about oysters..."

It could very well be a working title, but that's not the reason; it'd be because they just don't have a real title yet.

[TigerClaw]

Here's video talking about it, Its right at the begining.

What's their excuse this time... create drama because even bad attention is attention? lol

Like you I figure it's a working title, I can't see them not trying to come up with something more impressive and probably just haven't given the title much thought this soon. Which is reasonably understandable really. Though I assume it's just a place holder rather than hiding it since it's still an obvious name.

[TigerClaw]

Whats interesting is J.J. Redick never saw the 1st movie, and only just found about it recently.

"It's 'colon, Half-Shell'?"

Well, it's sure colon something.

And the basketball dude didn't know they made a new movie before this? Jealous...

[Candy Kappa]

Colon Half-Shell, sounds a bit wrong. Why not go all out and go for "Half-Shell heroes" and be done with it (a phrase I personally hate, turtles don't have half a shell).

[Leo656]

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii KNOW.

It's like, it's corny AND it makes zero sense. So, of course, it's exactly what this crew of misfits would think to reference.

[TrickOrTreater]

Or at LEAST TMNT: Heroes In a Half-Shell.

The very least.

[TurtleTitan97]

BWHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!

"Half-Shell"? Seriously? That's the best they could come up with? Not anything like "TMNT: Return of the Shredder" or something that at least sounds cool?

This better be a working title, cause if not....

[Bry]

I mean, it's possible it's just a working title. But even then... effort...

[Galactus]

Can I also point out this is confirmation this will be more than a just a small cameo for Vern and his new Victoria's Secret babe like people were defensibly arguing it would be.
