Concept Art released for the Film coming in 2023. I guess we can put this in Coming Attractions now. Look at all that chaos in the background you gotta love it.
First of all... THAT is atrocious. It looks like the cartoon on Nickelodeon. I have ZERO faith in Nickelodeon since the buyout.
Seth Rogan? Who casted this clown? Fire the person who greenlit it. Now, to be fair, his films can be good, if he can play it... like the movie where he is this broke entrepreneur who smokes weed, who got a girl pregnant. That film put him in the right light, but his whole actor demeanor is this white smoker dude. And he plays into the role both on film, AND OUTSIDE the films. No wonder anyone doesn't take his shit seriously.
This is gonna bomb. To be fair the 2007 film is sublime in voiceover/acting, the graphics stayed true to the source material, and still bombed. Which is why Michael Bay was put in charge of 2014, even though I don't like the design all that much, BUT it did the source material just fine enough to greenlight sequels. They were trying really hard to attract new people to the franchise, but Nickelodeon is practically Disney with the idiocy slant.
The problem is the source material isn't being used properly. I'm a YUGE Turtles fan, and I AM sad where its going with Nickelodeon.
And who's dumbass idea was it to put glasses on Donnie? In a promotional image? He only wears his scientific gear when he is doing his scientific stuff. Never outside. And Mikey looks a bit stupid down there if he's acting high.
I watched the 1990 film on my Birthday with my Brother who is 21 and he still thinks it holds up. I think we can get that version of the Turtles if the right guys come together and understand the Turtles inside and out. I hope it's these guys but surely they need a Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni who respect the franchise and can handle it with care.
I agree. I watched both TMNT films recently, and I bursted a cry. Awe. We won't get that feeling of Turtles fun anymore.
All 3 films are on HBO Max if anyone is interested.
What did you guys think of the 2014 TMNT film? I thought it was okay, but could have been a lot better. I absolutely adore the 1990 one though. I'm hoping this one hits me like that did.
I like 2007 film more than I do 2014. TMNT don't need to look like a bunch of steroided looking bunch of Turtles, with gear that make them look like a cluttered mess. BUT... BUT... the film itself HAS the soul of TMNT, if you can help it - i mean, get past the design of the Turtles. I don't even mind the story. And hell, whoever casted Sheamus as the famous bebop? PERFECT. And, it SHOWS that he loves TMNT, too. He played the role perfectly.
2007 film was the closest thing to the 1990's films. 2014 was close, but overdone with the design, I don't mind the explosions, otherwise it was good.
Nickelodeon's TV adaptation isn't jibing for me. The New film looks trash.
