1 word to describe this 'FINALLY"

Posted by: Jackie Chan on July 14, 2009 at 01:19:15

Yes, I am so there.

Posted by: MDI on July 14, 2009 at 01:19:23

YES! I've always been a fan of the old TMNT live action films. (Not the third one though..)

I even met the stunt man for Raphael (who also played Liu Kang in the MKII video game ) as a kid!

This is great news, finally another live action TMNT movie!

Call me Crazy but it does not say ANYTHING about a live action movie in the description...

I would Honestly say they will be using these individuals for motion capture, later CG. Nothing about REAL LIVE MOVIE though...

Hah, sweet. One of the judges, Ernie Reyes Jr. was in the original live action part 2. Anybody remember Keno? I hope he'll have a role in this movie, guy is one serious MF.

Is it gonna be CG Live or guys in turtle suits

this is weird on most superhero post, every one and most people have somthing nasty to say, like the hater's... and yet every time the TMNT, get's talked about is like ohh i remember way back then the first movie was so cool, and the CGI movie was cool and now the live acction reboot, and every one is happy. now if only it was this way for most movies the studios would no doubt still pump out crap affter crap, in the ultimate crap feast show down. to se who's crap was the biggest and ugggglyest. and i'm sure this will be fun to watch though i feel the haters coming out soon. so i will speak my peace and say, cowabunga dude's, i'm hungry for pizza...TMNT style....

My guess is live action, the CG version didnt do too well box office wise. Either way i cant wait, both my son and I love watching the old school TMNT movies (except 3) lol

Posted by: alex on July 14, 2009 at 01:49:56

@ everybody who posted here

It um, it says "live action" in the very first line of this article...

You're welcome world.

Posted by: leonardo on July 14, 2009 at 02:06:20

the cgi version made something like 80 mil, which aint bad at all! i think the turtles will probably be a cg/live action hybrid in a live action world... Im pumped

Posted by: Tasunara on July 14, 2009 at 02:13:25

Oh crap, it has 4kids attached to it. (kidding, by the way.)

It is sometimes hard to believe that there are people in Hollywood that want to do things the right way. This movie is on the right track.

Tubular!!

Posted by: ory 713 on July 14, 2009 at 02:21:33

So the turtles will be CG and not dudes in turtle suits cool.It will be cooler if its rated R like the 1st comic book

Posted by: darkmanx on July 14, 2009 at 02:37:37

i would highly doubt they would go back to the original comic to where it was very graphic and they all had red headbands.. and the fact that 4kids entertainment is attached would make it rated R.. god i wish they did but its probably gonna be for the kids

Posted by: darkmanx on July 14, 2009 at 02:38:41

wouldnt*
