Live-Action TMNT Movie in the Works!

When you look at the writers attached, what tone this Turtles adventure is likely to take emerges even more. Liebesman will be working from a script by Josh Appelbaum and André Nemec, the guys who just wrote Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol. That movie had some hard hitting action and some big adventure, but once again, nothing too dark, nothing very questionable; a film that most people wouldn’t blink at taking their kids to.
So while this new version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is certainly looking to be a bit less kiddie than those PG-rated, foam rubber flicks from the 90s, people who are holding out for a gritty, bloody samurai movie with a cursing Raphael and what have you are likely to be severely disappointed. And, you know what? That’s okay. A little Turtle fun is a good thing. Just as long as we don’t bring in Krang or the Neutrinos, I’ll be fine. And is it too early to start campaigning for them to bring back Elias Koteas as Casey Jones again? He is Casey Jones to me, to the point where I get upset seeing him do other things.

CGI. And 3-D.
This will blow.

Care to explain your feelings?

"CGI. And 3D" is not enough of an explanation?

Worked out pretty well for Avatar, right?

Sure. If you don't mind throwing out all sense of logic, integrity and soul that should exist in a celebrated work of film. Yeah it made a billion dollars, but did nothing else in the process.
Would you rather TMNT be great, or successful? These aren't mutually exclusive concepts but they rarely go together.

I really hope they keep the foam rubber suits, or at the very least don't cgi all the turtles and mutants.

Agreed. I must have watched my VHS copy over 100 times.

Not arguing either way, just pointing out that "a billion" isn't even close.

I know what you're saying. I personally didn't like Avatar, but I feel like everyone else did.

difference between a remake of the TMNT and Avatar, is that Avatar wasn't a remake. it was something new and fresh.
Don't reboot a movie just to throw in cgi and 3D, (star wars comes to mind; just a matter of time until 4,5,6 are redone with more CGI and 3D)
I must have watched the original tmnt about a 1000 times when I was a kid. Used to go to the dollar show on Saturday's in the morning and stay there all day watching that movie over and over and over. Definitely in my top 10 of all time list.

I have it on Xbox and my 4 year old loves falling in the sewer over and over.

If you mean a complete remake of 4, 5, and 6 then you should probably stop while you're behind
