Michael Bay's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

*guy hands him a check off screen*

Ha..I know it seems that way. And though you might have been joking, I understand if others would feel the same way.

But besides Erik, many other writers were also on set and we will see more detailed set reports in the coming days from various sites. I don't think all those will be paid to write positive experiences too.

Erik was the editor of Cinematical for years, after that closed he and his team started Movies.com and he is quite reputable in the movie website community.

And though most things about this movie are hardly exiciting news, I am still trying to remain hopeful to see a good TMNT film. And this set report blurb is definitely encouraging for now.

Yea ill keep my optimism til I see a trailer.

A white guy as Shredder?

[CelticPredator]

You mean the most underrated actor of our generation?

 

[ironwez20]

Who cares who he is. Shredder isn't white.

 

[CelticPredator]

Shedder can be whatever filmmakers want him to be.

 

[ironwez20]

Yea then don't bother making the movie if there gonna make a traditional japenese character white.

Still I'll hold my judgement til I see a trailer. It shouldn't be the last airbender bad

 

[CelticPredator]

It probably will be.

Sadly. It's funny how with all this new technology and new ways in filmmaking that not one turtle movie has been able to touch the very first one. The 2007 was all cgi but still.

There was a turtle movie in 2007??

I agree that the first one is the best as of yet but I saw it recently and I thought it was corny as hell, but when I was a kid it was great I remember but now, blah!

It's a great film - gritty & pretty true to the source.

The Bay one will make TMNT 2 & 3 look like The Godfather pt1 & 2.

The 2007 one is CGI.

 

[ironwez20]

Agreed. The first movie was more true to the Kevin Eastman comic. Which was very dark. Wonder why they chose to go the comic route though.

****ing Eric Sachs!!!

Lol way to whitewash another Asian based character.

 

[CelticPredator]

Yeah but, it's William ****ing Fichner. You can't get a better guy to play a villain. Successful white wash.

At this point who the hell knows. Who knows where this movie will be heading to see if it will be for the best or not. Everything is up and down. Good and bad.

 

[CelticPredator]

I would white wash the world if it meant more Fichners.

 

[Biojex]

I can't complain about Fichner. He'll make a great villain.

 

[Ondi]

Is he really the Shredder though? Or is he the so called General Schraeder? (I don't know how they spelled it)

Raphael Wears a Disguise in New Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Set Photos | Superhero Hype

Raphael looks huge, also the raised shell really looks odd. He is grabbing more attention to himself in that getup. I wonder if they will tone it down in post-production. In the 1990 movie they managed to make the disguise more subtle.

After seeing these shooting pics despite the involvement of Bay and Megan Fox, I am still excited about this movie. After all it's the Turtles, how can I not be?
