If there is a new movie...

[Jarrah White]

If they do make a TMNT movie, what would you like it to be based on?

[Spectre]

something tells me the new movie (if there was one coming, that is) should be based on their lives after their teen years. (Adulthood)

But, I thought twice about that idea, since it seemed odd to me, and I think it should go along the lines of the new episodes.

[jeff the cheff]

I would like to see a movie based on issue 1 of the original comic book.

[Taloniss]

New story, live action film, dark atmosphere.

[PizzaPower]

I would like the new movie to be based off the new show.

[Wes]

Completely new here. A movie with the Turtles as adults would be really cool...I'd like that, but I'd rather it not be explicitly based on entire storylines that came before. I'd prefer that they keep the old origin story and a few of the past bits (like the original movie/comic conflict with the Shredder), with a few new developments that supposedly happened in the intervening years. And I love Splinter, so I'm not sure it's right for me to say I'd like to see him die in a new film...but yeah, the poor guy should go.

(Btw, what issues had Splinter's death in the comics? I'd like to read them so I can cry...)

[Karpo_007]

Mirage vol.4 issue #10.

Well I for one would like to see it take of after the last three film/Next Mutation show. It can be aimed at more mature audiences like the new show. You know, very dark and violent. Maybe this is how it could play, The turtles defeat the Dragon Lord (Who is now a giant fire-breathing monster), but no sooner than the dragons falls, The Shredder come back. It could be revealed that the Super Shredder reverted back to normal Shredder by finding one of those cubes the turtles used on Tokka and Razar. As for Dr. Perry, they could reveal him to be a Utrom. But having retrieved the last TGRI canister, an evil Utrom named Krang comes and assassinates Perry, taking the canister of ooze from him. It could turn out that Krang has been providing the Shredder with Utrom equipment, to try to help him get back on his feet, they were just biding their time awaiting for the fall of the Rank, now The Foot is back...

That is very interesting, but it doesn't make much sense. They should disregard anything that happened past the first movie, especially the next mutation. Nobody has seen it, so they will have no idea what it was if they saw the movie.

[Jarrah White]

Not unless they make an opening scene explaining what has previously happened.

Except Next Mutation was'nt part of movie continunity, and it sucked b*lls, get over it.

They won't, if there IS a new movie, it will be a completly new beggining, re-telling the story and possibly adapt MIRAGE a little more closely

I think your the one who needs to get over it, if you sent more time paying attention to the show and less time critizing Venus you would have noticed the following

1) The subway lair is exactly the same as it was in the movies
2) The Foot Ninjas in both the films and the TV show wear the same uniform.
3) Splinter's ear was cut.
4) Shredder's face is scarred
5) Shredder's exact quote, "When I'm done with you freeks, I'll find your furry rat friend, and slice off his other ear!"
6) And for the record, Splinter quote in the first movie "I jumped at Saki's face, bitting and clawing, but he throw me to the ground and took one swipe with his Katana slicing my ear".

[Wes]

Karpo: Thanks! I'll have to look for that.

Jarrah: What Jeff said -- that made for an interesting post, but I think I'd be wishing for one of your double katanas so I could cleave the screen in two if I ever saw that in a theater.

Zarius: And what are you talking about?!?!?!? NEXT MUTATION WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!! Way better than Smallville.

Oddly enough, I think I meant that seriously. If they ever release NM on dvd, I'm all over it.

Also, I think that they're bloody television shows and movies about mutant turtles, and while I'm all up for discussing the merits of this or that regarding a series, I don't think that there's anything here that one needs to "get over"... And I hope you two aren't seriously upset about the issue. Now kiss and make up!

Don't bother talking to Zarius, it's his hobby; showing a negitive attitude to anything NM, and trying to pick a fight with anyone who does like it.

[Wes]

Ack, sorry Jarrah -- I meant to edit that before anyone else posted again. But yeah, the comment still stands -- they're shows about mutant turtles for chrissakes! Not that I don't dig the green guys, of course.

Honestly I think NM was pretty bad (what I saw of it, anyway, which admittedly wasn't much), but it was bad in that way that makes things must-haves. This probably has something to do with the fact that it was a show about mutant turtles -- it's kinda hard for that to be really offensive.

And why not talk to Zarius? I'm already under the impression that he/she doesn't like me -- after all, I'm not a "true fan" of Buffy and Angel, and I'm probably not a "true fan" of the TMNT either -- but the feeling's far from mutual.

[Shreddette]

Of course I want it to be based around the old cartoon series. I want my Krang, Bebop, Rocksteady and Shredder as he was in the cartoon.

Just one movie like that is all I ask...

God, I just can't let it go.

[Wes]

Hm, I'm not sure if that would work. A live-action Krang would give kids nightmares.

[MW8979]

Need to show Krang and the Technodrome. I understand before it would have been more difficult to do (although not impossible), but now it should be very easy with all the computers. It would cost a lot less and I'm sure it can be a very interesting story too.

[Cascadia]

i think that the new movie needs to be similar to the new series. .

[raphael90]

I'm not entirely sure what I'd like it to be about, whatever it is (if it does happen) I'll support it most likely. I have a hard time thinking what they could do for a story in a fourth one if they do stay with the old movie line, but I guess the skies the limit. I might be slightly miffed if they start a whole new beginning story.
