Murr Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Deadline.com's Nikki Finke is reporting that Paramount has put the next Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie on the fast track "I hear that Paramount has hired the writing team of Art Marcum and Matt Holloway for close to $1 million to reimagine the live action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles," she writes. "'The studio is looking at this as its next huge franchise, like Transformers,' a source just told me.... Paramount's Adam Goodman is fast-tracking and wants a first draft by October so the studio can take it out to directors right away. The speed is understandable since Paramount paid $60 million for the rights to make the movie." The writing duo recently wrote a reboot script for Highlander, which Summit will produce and which will be directed by Justin Lin. Marcum and Holloway also wrote the first Iron Man.

Retro_Link Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 So they've spent $61million before they've even started anything on this movie... and a presumably going to give it a hefty budget if they want it to be there next big franchise. Transformers 1 had a budget of $100million didn't it... I'm as big a Turtles fan as they come, I grew up on those Heroes in their half shells... but I'm just not sure it's that big any more is it? I'm sure the studios thought it through, but I'd have thought they could struggle with this one! In terms of the movie itself, it'll be really interesting to see how they handle going back to live action... which presumably means going back to costumes right. Oh and Raphael FTW!

Ashley Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Perhaps it will be live action with animated turtles? Its the flavour of the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Link Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I was thinking that, but is motion capture CGI characters, still concidered live action?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Live action enough I'd suspect. I doubt they'd try for dudes in suits, it would just look to camp (American usage) today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
or else you will DIE Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 whatever it is it will probably be in 3D right? that's all that matters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbob Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 It's all 3D these days, which doesn't make me enjoy any movie more. All i say for this movie is, don't bugger it up. I grew up watching Turtles, it was great to watch. I don't want my child-hood destroyed with a crap re-make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nami Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Aww hope this is awesome! Could be epic fail though if they're not careful! I enjoyed the TMNT 07 film which I know was pretty cheesy but I watched it in the right company in a silly mood so had fun!! Raph FTW always Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
