I love this scene. The guys in those suits really could move in them too. I miss a gritty TMNT...

And, you guys, TMNT came out in the 1990-or-so. Unless you're nitpicking about grammar or the way he spelled it or something. I think you're thinking of the animated movie. That makes Snake twenty-something. Am I missing something?

Turtles Forever is an animated movie in which the Ninja Turtles from the 2003 series meet up with the Turtles from the 1980s series. It's going to air 11/21/09 on 4Kids TV at 10 am which will apparently be its one and only airing.

Here's a link with a little more info: http://www.4kids.tv/buzz/view/catch-...urtles-forever

From DHD:

Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon have brought Michael Bay and his Platinum Dunes partners Brad Fuller and Andrew Form on to produce Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the live-action film that reboots the film series launched by New Line in 1990. Bay, Fuller and Form will produce with Galen Walker and Scott Mednick.

The producers will begin meetings with writers in the next few weeks. The deal puts Bay in the center of two Paramount franchises, as he started production May 17 on Transformers 3, and is zeroing in on Rosie Huntington-Whitely to replace Megan Fox as love interest for Shia LaBeouf. TNMT, a co-production between Paramount and Nickelodeon, is an outgrowth of the $60 million acquisition made by Nick last October for global rights to the entire Turtles franchise. Right around the same time, Paramount made a first look deal with the Platinum Dunes partners, who will generate genre projects but also want to expand their scope. While they've already set up several projects including a Rob Cohen-remake of Fright Night, the Turtles film puts them into new territory.

Fuck.

I'd love a big budget martial arts action flick, but then again I've enjoyed most of what Bay has done, sans Transformers.

As anyone familiar with the fast-paced, no-time-for-spell-check inner workings of Paramount knows by now, the studio has been making every effort to relaunch Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for the second or third time, because it is “a huge Viacom priority.” Also, art or something. Unfortunately, the first draft from writer John Fusco—best known, perhaps, for the Young Guns franchise—was deemed “not great,” despite Fusco’s extensive meetings with original Turtles co-creator Peter Laird about capturing the darker tone of the original comics. Fortunately for Viacom (and the rest of you, we guess), Paramount has now hired Art Marcum and Matt Holloway, who have both done second draft work on Iron Man and Punisher: War Zone, and whose upcoming projects include reboots of Highlander and Buck Rogers—so clearly they’re comfortable with taking established properties and giving them the kind of modern-day zing that would make Paramount excited again. The new, live-action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles could now begin shooting as early as next year, which means Corey Feldman should start campaigning for a part sometime next week.

And now, here's an obligatory video of Vanilla Ice doing "Ninja Rap (Go Ninja Go)."

Platinum Dunes? It's already DOA. :down:

I just heard some amazing news regarding the comics. They are coming back, via IDW, and now Eastman at the helm. Based on the Mirage Comics as well. Amazing!!! :rock::rock::rock::rock: Miss the Mirage Eastman/Laird comics.

To me the whole franchise died when Eastman sold everything to Nick. I'll just stick to the old video games and animated series DVDs and comics when I want a TMNT fix.

The new IDW TMNT comic book has been pretty good.
