"TMNT"

So, the new Turtles film is almost here. It has Sarah Michelle Geller, Patrick Stewart and Kevin Smith (cameo) providing voices and it promises to take the story and feel back to the original Black and White cult comics, before the franchise got kidified and turned into a cartoon.

Despite having to cut the film back a little for the PG rating, it is still supposed to be harder edged than the live-action movies, and judging by the still shots it looks like they've gone for dark colours, almost to Black and White extremes in some shots.

The main producer is a big TMNT fan anyway, having read from Issue 1 and sought the blessing of Eastman and Laird before attempting a new Turtles movie. With April, Casey and more of the original cast taken back to their roots. It all bodes well for the film from a fan's point of view.

As an old time Turtles fan, I'm keeping my fingers crossed...

I'm not particularly a fan but it does look like fun. Have you seen the trailers?

Yep, sort of captures the feel of the old comics more.

Ive never read the comics, but it remided me of the old cartoon that I loved so much as a child, only a bit more edgy. It defientely looks better than the live action films and the recent cartoon series.

I liked the live action films and dont like cartoons so screw this one.

Sorry but the entire idea of turtles being ninjas was always retarded.

Heh, I thought this was a joke until I watched the trailer. Looks pretty good though, will give it a watch. Don't think I'll pay to see it at the cinema though, doesn't have that much appeal for me.

I thought the live action ones were pap to be honest, even as a kid and a manic turtles fan ...

I agree. But teenage ninja turtles isn't.

As long as they don't make a Bucky O'Hare (sp?) movie.

A Yoshi Yo Jimbo one would be good though.
