Live-Action 'Ninja Turtles' Film Coming

Posted by Stephen Johnson - Tuesday, September 02, 2008 3:58 PM

Everyone has good memories of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and we don't mean the recent CGI-animated movie that featured a "darker" quartet of be-shelled heroes. We mean the original, 80s, foam-suited turtles and their infectious pizza eating and Ninja rapping. Well, guess what: They're back.

 Here's what director Kevin Eastman, said about the project, when asked if a live action movie was coming:

"Yes, it is true. Although the CGI film did well enough to warrent a sequel, there has been much talk between Imagi and Warners to do a better 're-invention' (newest Hollywood buzzword) of the TMNT's, in a live action film--like what was done with Batman. Back to basics, back to the origin and the intro of the Shredder, etc...there have been talks, trips to Northampton to talk to Mr Laird, and discussions with the original "first" TMNT film director Steve Barron to come back and do it right--but no official word yet...will keep you posted."

The first two live action Ninja Turtles kicked major *&^, but third one just flat out sucked!

As long as it doesn't end up like Ninja Turtles 3, it should be good. And lacks a certain female turtle named Venus.

COWABUNGA! FINALLY! A TRUE NINJA TURTLES MOVIE IN 15 YEARS! oh my god i cant wait! i just hope they make it on par with the originals (by that i mean the first two)

Ninja, Ninja Rap! Yessss! I'm cool with it. Bring it on.

Posted by Nerdpunk - Tuesday, September 2, 2008 9:18 PM

cool, time for newbies to feel gen-x nostalgia come all over their faces! (yeah, you read that right)

I loved the live-action TMNT movies when I was a kid and I would be psych to see one now that I'm 20.

Posted by Vaultman - Wednesday, September 3, 2008 6:54 AM

It's amasing to see the turtles live on. I wish Mr. Eastman & Laird would do a (close to) hometown(ME/NH)early screening if so!

Posted by NuBeatz - Wednesday, September 3, 2008 6:55 AM

Nobody and I mean nobody is a a bigger Ninja Turtles fan than me. I used to spend all day in class drawing them and still draw them...quite well I might add. I've seen all the classic episodes, seen all the new episodes and all the movies, even the crappy 3rd movie. In all realness, Hollywood making movies isn't a big confidence booster for me these days but news like this makes me second guess...we'll just have to see what happens!

Posted by sdcrews - Wednesday, September 3, 2008 7:37 AM

I actually liked the CGI movie but if they want to try to make another live action one I think it might be cool to see, especially with special effects getting a lot better since the original films.

I just found out that this whole thing it just a rumor. I have a post on it on my blog(Media Monkey Ninja). My source is an official TMNT blog called The 5th Turtle. Which has a direct link from the official Ninja Turtles site, the link reads Murphy's Blog on there. You cab Read the whole story and get all the related links at Media Monkey Ninja. mediamonkeyninja.blogspot.com
