Turtles Begins
BlindsideDork | 7:55 AM on 09.03.2008 20 comments



Just like Batman got a rejuvenation, so will the Turtles if Kevin Eastman has anything to say about it. And just so you know, this "Turtles Begins" movie will be a LIVE-ACTION feature film! Bring on the rubber suits please!

The animated film TMNT was pretty sweet and warranted enough for a sequel. The toy maker declared it to be a live-action movie for 2010. Since then, the live-action part is no longer on the main site, BUT the TMNT director still has it a go. He even went as far to post in the Heavy Metal Forum saying this...

Although the CGI film did well enough to warrant 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.




Also,

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.

Yes, I can dig it...I want to dig it. Roots, ninjas and turtles is what we need. How can you not be excited about this? Let's just hope they don't screw it up when the second one comes out.

I didn't like the CGI TMNT movie. I grew up with the rubber suits movie. I love the old movies.

Doesn't the movie industry just suck. After the success of Batman, every studio with a superhero license seems to be planning a 'reboot' of their franchises. I wonder how they are going to make the tutrtles darker and grittier.

@Timmeh

If they go back to the source material, that won't be very hard.

The black and white, pre Archie comics/animated show turtles had plenty enough grit for a "reinvention" film.

if they do it they should aim for the true turtle demograhic, the 20-30 something crowd, not the 2-12 crowd like the newest one.

seriously, do kids really even like the current turtles?

I'm really interested in seeing this happen. The first movie was about as close as we've ever gotten in video media to that original Turtles feel.

Granted, its stories about a fucking group of turtles and a rat that got gunk on them and transformed into human size and trained in the arts of ninjitsu that Splinter picked up by proxy of being the pet of the skillful Hamato Yoshi. That shit's re-damn-diculous when you think about it.

But the quality and gravity of stories that have been told by the Mirage comic series using the turtles as a medium is surprising, and certainly missed by this ex-comicgeek.

Now we just need Konami to make a new 8-bit TMNT game(16-bit is also acceptable.

I wonder if a "grittier" version of TMNT would actually appeal to a wide audience. I'm all for the idea of the reinvention though, and if it means going back to the real roots of TMNT then all the better.

I can't tell whether to be excited for this or fear for its release.

Print: Vanilla Ice - Ninja Rap Lyrics print version





Complimentary "Ninja Rap" Ringtone



YO! It’s the green machine -- Gonna rock the town without bein’ seen
Have you ever seen a turtle Get Down? -- Slammin’ Jammin’ to the new swing sound
Yeah, everybody let’s move -- Vanilla is here with the new Jack Groove
Gonna rock, and roll this place -- With the power of the ninja turtle bass
Iceman, ya know I’m not playin’ -- Devistate the show while the turtles are sayin:

Chorus:
Ninja, Ninja, RAP! Ninja, Ninja, RAP!
GO GO GO
Go Ninja, Go Ninja, GO; Go Ninja, Go ninja, GO!
Go Ninja, Go Ninja. GO; Go Ninja, Go ninja, GO!
GO GO GO GO

Lyrics, fill in the gap -- Drop that bass and get the NINJA RAP
Feel it, if you know what I mean -- Give it up for those heroes in green
Just flowin, smooth with the power -- Kickin’ it up, hour after hour
Cause in this life there’s only one winner -- You better aim good so you can hit the center
In it to win it, with a team of four -- Ninja Turtles that you gotta adore it’s the:

Chorus

Villians, you better run and hide -- Because one day you might not slide
Choose your weapon but don’t slip -- Vanilla’s in control with the flex of the mic grip
Rockin’ the crowd the way it should be rocked -- With the Miami drop that you like alot
Hittin like a Ninja Turtle when the bass kicks in -- You better check your level
The power of the Ninja is strong -- Fightin’ all the crooks until they’re all out cold
