Official TMNT thread, 1990 Technodrome being re-released

Jennifer lawerence as April would have been appreciated
But I can see this being a epic fail movie
But I am loving the cartoon...just copped a new school Raphael/mikey my favorite two
Gave all my toys away back in the 90s that was a sad day
 
To me, the first ninja turtle movie was enjoyable because it captured the gritty era of NYC during that time. It had a good balance of action and humor. I can watch it now and still enjoy it.

With this new movie, I would have liked if it was based on the gritty comic books. But of course, I have a feeling theyre gonna go sci fi by using the technodrome and krang. Not that I will complain but they have to do it right. Theyre probably gonna have a group of utroms aka "krangs" be aliens using mutagen on baby turtles. Just a guess?

I rather that they use the origin that we all know about. ( kid has baby turtles that fall in the sewers, get mutated by the ooze)

Now if they say the turtles will be of alien origin, how will they explain Splinters origin?
 
You thinking way too much about a bay movie. There will be corny lines and explosions. That's about it

By Jeremy Taylor

The Michael Bay reboot of ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ — which is rumored to just be called ‘Ninja Turtles,’ since the turtles will be neither teenagers nor mutants – should come out sometime in 2014.

Fans don’t seem particularly happy that the explosion-happy director is taking over the franchise, fearing he will stray from the established story line and make the turtles more about “kaboom” than “cowabunga.”

But no matter what Bay does, there will still always be the original ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,’ a 1990 live-action adaptation of the underground comic book that also spawned a hit animated series. See what April O’Neil, Casey Jones and the rest of the ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ gang is up to these days below.

1000


Then: Hoag was intrepid news reporter April O’Neil in ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.’ It was the first high-profile role for the Massachusetts-born actress, who went on to star as Gwen Cromwell Piper in the Disney channels ‘Halloweentown’ series of TV movies.

Now: Hoag is currently a series regular on ‘Nashville.’ She also recently played a small role in the Anthony Hopkins-led biopic ‘Hitchcock.’

1000


Then: In ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ Koteas plays masked vigilante Casey Jones, who comes to the aid of the Turtles. Known mostly in Canada at the time, Koteas had previously starred in ‘Tucker: The Man and His Dreams.’

Now: Koteas is best known these days for character turns in films like ‘Crash’ (the movie about car crash sex, not the racial tension Oscar-winner) and ‘The Thin Red Line.’ His last two high-profile movie roles were in ‘Dream House’ and ‘Shutter Island.’ In 2013, he will play a supporting role in ‘Devil’s Knot.’

James Saito, Shredder

1000


Then: Saito was the body and masked face of the evil Shredder, while David McCharen supplied his gruff voice. A seasoned TV and stage vet, Saito had roles in everything from ‘M*A*S*H’ to ‘Charles in Charge’ prior to strapping on the Shredder armor.

Now: TV viewers may know Saito as Dr. Frank Chen on the short-lived ABC series ‘Eli Stone.’ He can currently be seen in ‘Life of Pi,’ and recently turned up on ’30 Rock’ and ‘Person of Interest.’

Sam Rockwell, Head Thug

1000


Then: Sam Rockwell played the head teenage thug recruited by the evil Shredder. It was the third movie role for the idiosyncratic actor, following ‘Clownhouse’ and ‘Last Exit to Brooklyn.’

Now: Rockwell has made a name for himself in indie films, but also brings his quirky persona to mainstream fare like ‘Iron Man 2.’ He stole scenes in 2012′s ‘Seven Psychopaths’ and will be the star of the upcoming films ‘A Single Shot’ and ’Trust Me.’

1000


was best known for playing Takashi in the ‘Revenge of the Nerds’ franchise and portraying officer Tomoko Nogata in the later (more excellent, some might say) ‘Police Academy’ films.

Now: Since TMNT, Tochi has worked primarily as a voice actor. His last project was for the video game ’The Darkness II.’

Robbie Rist, Michelangelo

1000


Then: Rist provided the voice of pizza-scarfing, surfer bro turtle Michelangelo. Rist will always be known for his notorious — and notoriously short lived — role as Cousin Oliver on the last season of ‘The Brady Bunch.’

Now: Rist voices the character Stuffy on the Disney Channel animated show ‘Doc McStuffins.’ He is also a multi-instrumentalist who has performed with many Los Angeles-area rock bands.

Corey Feldman, Donatello
1000


Then: You probably remember that Corey Feldman was the voice of Donatello, the smartest of the Turtles. Feldman had been a bit of a phenomenon in the ’80s, starring in movies like ’The Goonies,’ ’Stand By Me,’ ’The Lost Boys’ and ’License To Drive,’ often with his late-BFF Corey Haim.

Now: Feldman is still busy acting. However most of his recent films — such as ‘Operation Belvis Bash’ and ’6 Degrees of Hell’ — have come and gone without a lot of fanfare. He has said he hopes to be a part of the Michael Bay ‘TMNT’ reboot.

Josh Pais, Raphael
1000


Then: In ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,’ Josh Pais was the voice of hotheaded Raphael. Unlike the other voice actors who gave sound to Turtles, Pais donned a costume and also played the physical role on-camera.

Now: Pais is a regular presence on TV on shows like ‘Michael and Michael Have Issues’ and a recent episode of ‘Psych.’ In 2013, he will play supporting roles in the movies ‘Syrup’ and ‘Touchy Feely.’

Kevin Clash, Splinter

1000


Then: Kevin Clash was the voice of mutated rat sensei Splinter. Clash was already a well-established voice actor at that point, most famously as the falsetto voice of Sesame Street character Elmo.

Now: 2012 was a tough year for Clash, as allegations of improper sexual conduct with underage teen boys forced him to resign from Sesame Street.

Michael Turney, Danny Pennington

1000


Then: You may remember Turney as Danny Pennington, a youngster who joined up with Shredder and The Foot. His only movie role after that was a small one in the little seen 1997 thriller ‘The Cost of Living.’

Now: Turney still works in the entertainment industry, as a producer for the geek radio show The Action Room.

Sources say Fox and Bay reconciled over a series of recent meetings and that one tete-a-tete that won her over was with director Jonathan Liebesman, who wowed her the storyboards, according to insiders.

SO...in other words she took turns going to town on both of them for the role?

Currently, producer Michael Bay and director Jonathan Liebesman (Wrath of the Titans) are rebooting the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles live-action movie franchise with Ninja Turtles. Meanwhile, Rush Hour trilogy director Brett Ratner is tackling ancient world mythology with a Hercules comic book adaptation starring Dwayne Johnson, and Sony is teaming with producers Will Smith and Jay-Z to remake the Annie stage musical.

Ninja Turtles has been embroiled in controversy eve since Bay dropped the bomb that the Turtles are now aliens, leading TMNT co-creator Kevin Eastman (who’s consulting on the reboot) to spend much of last year defending the new approach by naming recent films ranging from the cult hit The Raid: Redemption to Marvel’s game-changer The Avengers as inspiration. Unfortunately, the recent casting of Megan Fox as April O’Neil has fans raging again (and not without good reason).

Paramount previously delayed Ninja Turtles from a Christmas Day 2013 launch to May 2014, but its latest date shift isn’t so drastic. The movie’s been pushed back three weeks to June 6th of next year, where it currently has no direct competition (though, Jurassic Park IV opens a week later). The Turtles were going to face off against Legendary’s Godzilla reboot on its previous May 16th date, so this sounds like a smart move by studio executives.

Word.

I watched that behind the scenes movie as a kid and it messed my head up. Obviously I knew it was fake but it damn near traumatized me.
 
hopefully we get to see the turtles faces, unlike transformers where the robots are always moving and everything is exploding for no reason...

at least they are keeping em in NYC...

i have not seen anything by bay that is even remotely memorable.

its the same thing with disney costumes at disney world. It will traumatize the kids if they see that mickey mouse took off his head and there was actually a person in it and mickey is not real. It dashes the dreams/hopes/fantasies of little kids who look up to their favorite characters.
