Wish Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez would have made great team directors. They always work well together. It would be like a mix between Kill Bill and Sin City.
Just Sayin….

No complaints. ROTPOTA is a good template to draw inspiration. At this point, motion-capture for the Turtles is the way to go.

I didn’t hate the TMNT CG movie but the way the Turtles moved were bordering on being Pixar-ish; their movements were too smooth and rubbery. If they could get the Turtles to move with the same real-world weight as Tintin I think it should look fine.

I also think suits would be a little too goofy for the movie especially since they’re aiming for a gritter, more realistic approach.

What I would like to hear over the coming months though is if the filmmakers are focusing at all on the martial arts choreography, which is a major element if they want to get a TMNT movie right.

This has outrageous potential, but Jonathan Liebesman is probably the worst choice I can think, in the pool of directors who could actually make this movie. He’s just awful =(

So, in this live-action version, the TMNT will really be no more real than in the 2007 CG movie, they’ll just be surrounded by real people? Every movie does that now. I would’ve loved a Spike Jonze or Guillermo Del Toro feeling with practical mixed with CG. This just sounds boring, and with the alien thing- stupid.
