It looks pretty awesome. As a TMNT fan from the original comics I'm eager to see where this goes. It looks like a good mix of the original and the 'cowabunga' series.

F'ing sweet!

why do i feel like the cure should be playing while they're running on the rough tops?

because ALL movies based on comics should have a rooftop scene with running and The Cure playing in the background. . .

a weird trend: constantly regurgitating stuff that was cool over ten years ago.

seriously, have we reached the pinnacle? is there nowhere to go? how many mario games are there? i loved TMNT 1 and 2. I loved knowing that Corey Feldman was Donatello's voice. But seriously, this is like kicking over headstones. (the same thing is happening to metal too)

I hate to break it to you Mr. Chimney but TMNT got their start in 1984. That's over 20 years ago.

we can argue about the ontogeny of the fab four, but the reality is, they didn't come out until 89/90/91 with TMNT 1.

Sincerely,

The guy who subscribed to the TMNT magazine (i just threw away some of my old issues).

The TMNT originated in an American comic book published by Mirage Studios in 1984. The concept arose from a comical sketch by Kevin Eastman during a casual evening of brainstorming with his friend Peter Laird. Using money from a tax refund together with a loan from Eastman's uncle, the young artists self-published a single-issue comic intended to parody two of the most popular comics of the early 1980s: Marvel Comics' New Mutants, which featured teenage mutants, and Daredevil, which featured ninja clans dueling for control of the New York City underworld.

Those comics by Eastman and Laird are so bad ass. That's what that trailer reminded me of immediately.

Sure; if you got on board late. Thanks to my brother I was buying those old '84 / '85 issues. I still have a few in the archives somewhere.

Yours,

the guy who got in on the ground level

on board late?

i'm sure eastman and co probably drew turtle pictures on bathroom stalls too, that doesn't exactly sound like a legitimate birth to me.

i'm glad to hear that you were buying the comics in 1984.

ohhh so smug!

here's my trump card:

me: over 10 years ago
dude: correction, over 20 years ago

me: over 10 years ago can still be 8 million years ago. It's all-inclusive like that.

Some exec must have thought this would make money, as there's no other reason I can imagine someone would want to bring back the heros in a half-shell. Without a WhiteSnake era Tawney Kitane as April, I've no reason to find this interesting-a goofy cartoon whose movie did little more than get Elias Koteas some pay now gets a remake?

Brick better not suck, cause that flick is getting seen soon.
