DAMN IT!!! I was sleeping goo knowing sat least that was in the works. DAMN IT! At least Len is still doing Atlantis Rising.
Again, James McTeigue.
Don't know about Atlantis though.
I just don't ever see GOW, Halo or Bioshock making a the big screen debut, because they are highly praised games, that will need big crew people and production studios aint so big on handing out money just like that for game to film adaptations
Bryan Singer, is good but he likes to complicate the script too much that it becomes hard to place on screen or too much is jammed together so the story is too over-developed like Superman Returns.
I like the thought of Len Wisemen, and your point is strengthen by the simple fact of how good he is at prosthetic work and that he has done action, so he is familiar with the genre. The work on Underworld was really neat.
Also i can imagine Kate Beckingsale as April, which is another factor why i like your choice of Len Wiseman.
if not Snyder how bout Bryan Singer, as far as i know he isn't doin much right now, plus we know he can do action and he also has a style to him that i think would suit the turtles, u think he would be good?
LOL @ Ridley Scott Presents....(don't give Hollywood ideas)
I couldn't agree more than the dude that stated about the costumes in Hellboy 1 & 2, they were amazing and yes, this film should be done like that.
To Chad...
This is a reboot, in which a reboot is just another fancy word for remaking a franchise but from its origin, hence forth why they call it an origin story to drift away from the cliche word Reboot/Remake.
Reboot...Remake...Origin Story (all the same concepts really).
What the hell for? BIG MISTAKE.
Another stupid remake. What a load of crap!
Oh god...
"Ridley Scott Presents
TMNT: Beginnings"
lol
I was stating that as someone esle pointed out it will be live action blended with CGI, and look how those movies have turned out...Scobby Doo, Alvin...etc etc.
Ok on to my agreements and disagreements.
Agree with LEO, the origin story is getting kind of rinsed out so to speak, but the origin stories are interesting and people are intersted by these especially to ones they don't know the origins to or ones that have been created in perfected mannerisms and styles of the franchise like Star Trek and then we have had the disappointing ones which fail like Wolverine (my opinion) and Star Wars Prequel Trilogy.
The reason they fail is because we know the origin already, and they way these prequels are done is that they are done in such a cliche manner, that they no longer become interesting than they were when they were stated through dialogue in their sequels via the backstory.
A prequel has to be interesting, the viewer needs to know as little as possible, not the full story from its sequels.
Agree with the people noting Del Toro for this project, yes he would be fantastic for this problem is he is booked up until 2017, he has more work lined up after the Hobbit actually, as for he is doing his own versions to Frankenstein and Dracula, which i'm interested for despite they are a long way off.
Agree with Comrade, not every genre that a specifid praised director from a genre touches turns to cold, Spielberg had his ups and downs, so did Bay, Del Toro and as noted previously so did Ridley Scott.
Disagree with TheBD, for noting Synder for this project, it is an awesome idea, but Synder artistic and so called visionary style is becoming too cliche. We will have turtles fighting in Bullet-time, which i tired of in every Synder film
