Kevin Eastman Talks Ninja Turtles Movie | Superhero Hype
"
MTV recently caught up with the Turtles' co-creator Kevin Eastman to talk abou the film and he offered some optimistic insight:
"From what I've seen, it's easily the best 'Turtle' movie yet. We're talking 'Raid: Redemption'-style fight scenes; we're talking about epic 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes' sort of effects."
When asked about what the reasoning was behind the delay, Eastman offered: "A lot of people are worried we pushed the release date from December to May, but the 30th anniversary of the 'Turtles' is in May, so it worked out perfectly."
He was also asked his opinion on the changes being made to his creation for the sake of the film: "I know that Michael [Bay] and his group really like that and that Paramount was supportive of that, so I think that it's great. I grew up reading 'Captain America' and 'The Avengers' and all that stuff, and over the course of the comic book history, since 'Avengers' has been around, how many times has it been reinvented, reformatted, restructured, replatformed?"
Ninja Turtles is now slated for a May 16, 2014 release date."
I hope they are not going all CGI for Turtles. If it's more than just facial CGI, then looks like the villains like Foot Clan members (who were auditioned in 2009 as shown in the videos below) will be doing martial arts fighting with actors in green suit and I don't mean turtle skin or perhaps even no actors at all.
Rules: No metal or sharp weapons, stay on the mat and be done in 30 seconds
