I only found out about this being in production a few weeks ago, so I was pretty pumped to get a trailer already: http://www.filmwad.com/out.phtml?u=h...mnt_large.html
-------
I'm optimistic, but I think the rooftop scene seems like an odd cross between Trinity in the beginning of the Matrix & Spider-Man.

That's looks pretty cool. Never watched it as a kid, but I remember playing the Nintendo game at a friend's house.

Looks pretty childish, which it should as it was a kids show, but I can't imagine going to it as an adult.
Who are they trying to target? A new audience or the people who remember it from when they are kids.

The original comics were actually far darker and more mature than the series was.

You are in Soviet Russia. It is dark. Grue is likely to be eaten by YOU!

True. But I am an adult and I am still going to see this.
The first director attached to make this film was John Woo (!)

Stylistically, they seem to be following this pattern (Though it looked like they didn't have pupils till the very end...)

I really enjoyed the first live-action version (the other two were stupid.) I hope this CG version is good.

I'm impressed. Definitely captures some of the mood and look of the graphic novels.

Will I see it? I don't know yet. I'll need to see a few more trailers first... but I'm optimistic.

You clearly need to watch more movies.

I watch just about everything non-romoatic comedy related.
MI2 isn't on the top of the bad list but it is definitely on it.

Who are they trying to target? A new audience or the people who remember it from when they are kids.
It's targeting at the kids who grew up with it and are now in their 20s. I used to read the comic before the kids show ever came out and my entire group of friends all hated the TV show, toys and movies with a passion. Those left a bad enough taste in my mouth that I really don't have an urge to see this.
I remember the comics being great though, and they were much more grown up. Almost nothing like the cartoon.

These teenage mutants have been teens for 20 years, I would say they should be in their late 20's early 30s by now huh?

You mean they don't have pupils right? Just like in the original comics and paperback RPGs.

No, they have pupils at the end of the trailer, which is unfortunate.

I know you were joking, but here's a plausable answer: They mutated. We also don't know the maximum lifespan of some turtles and tortoises. On record, the oldest tortoise was 154 years old, and he died from an accidental fall. So they could be "teenagers" for a good 100 years for all we know.

Sorry, never read the old graphic novels, unfortunately. It was just a gut reaction from growing up with the original TV show, where they most certainly DID have pupils.
And here I thought that the new show was being unfaithful to the series in that respect... haha, I guess you learn something new every day.

Ha, I remember seeing the old movies as a kid. There was one scene where one of the turtles pulls his head into his shell. I was convinced that there was no way they could have done that with a human actor. Ah, youth and it's corresponding naivety to the ways of editing.

Looks good to me. I was one of those kids who enjoyed both the graphic novels and the original cartoon. I know a guy who works on the new show, but I haven't really watched it.

Me seeing this movie depends soley on which version of Splinter's origins they go with.
If he was the pet rat of Hamato Yoshi, I'll see it. If he is Yoshi himself, I will not see it.

I won't see either of them tho.

I actually liked the first movie a lot...and i thought the special effects were great. not "perfect"...but definately great.
Im eally looking forward to this movie....great stylistic upgrade imo. and im glad someones doing it in CG..cause it will definalely be un-inhibited...i hope the actual movie is a bit "darker".
Cheers

I hope the CG people are modeled in realistic style, not in Pixar or Dreamworks style.

Looks interesting, I have fond memories of the cartoon... but wouldn't mind seeing it updated for a more modern look/feel.

I can picture it now:
Donatello buying parts for his perpetual motion contraption off of eBay
A scene where hot-headed Raphael perfects his latest head-butt maneuver, a tip-off too Zidane...
Michaelangelo finally gives up the surfer-talk and starts talking like a East/West-coast rapper or hip-hop artist or thug or whatever..... "Dude" gets replaced with "brotha"..... "whoa" gets replaced with "dang!"... and "Cowabunga" gets replaced with "Err-rrrraaaayyyy!!"
Leonardo is seen playing in a local arcade (in disguise) beating up all the local kids/teens in a game of Marvel vs. Capcom 2. His characters would be the sword-wielding ones (of course): Strider Hiryu, Hayato, and Silver Samurai (duh). ( A tip-off to the old cartoon episode: "Leonardo vs. Tempestra")
Splinter, despite all of his ninja tactics, manages to get into trouble again.
Casey Jones, always wanting to crack heads but just doesn't get his fix in New York, decides to enlist in the Armed Forces and is deployed in Iraq.
April O'Neal (O'Neil?) quits Channel 3 News and now works for MSNBC
.....
yes, of course i'll still see it!

For the record, I always wanted to be Donetelo, someone at lunch last year said that they figured I would have liked Micleangelo or Raphael. Actually everyone guessed everyone other than Donetelo... freaking losers!

Raph was always my role model... both the prankster, full of gags, in the cartoons........ and the hot-headed turtle in the first 3 movies and in the 2003-present cartoon.

I guess it was cause growing up I was always the smart kid that got left out
Funny story I was chatting with another gay guy the other day, and he too wanted to be Donetelo... we determined there's a correlation between the purple ninja gear and queerness.
