There is a God after all.



Well, Paramount just got one thing right. From The Hollywood Reporter:
Paramount Pictures has shut down a planned reboot of the Ninja Turtles franchise, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter. The effects-heavy film, which was in pre-production in Vancouver, was set for release in December 2013. That date is being pushed to May 2014, according to sources. 
The issue is said to be the script. Paramount has delayed several big movies from this year to 2013, including G.I. Joe: Retribution and Brad Pitt's World War Z, leaving it with a spotty pipeline for the current year. Now it has halted work on its planned holiday movie for 2013, temporarily laying off pre-production staff and informing those prepping the film that the work stoppage is "indefinite," according to sources. Another source close to the production says the movie has been pushed 10 weeks. 
A Paramount rep would not immediately comment.

Fuck and yes. Of course, this isn't a cure-all; Michael Bay and his production company are still involved, and there's no reason why the next script will feature the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as teenage, mutants, ninjas, or turtles, if the last one didn't. On the other hand, staving off evil for just a little while is more than reason enough to celebrate late on a Friday afternoon. Pass me my Thor! And infinite thanks to Doctor Oddfellow for the tip!

Same I always think about this

Like people say shit like "oh good I hate Michael Bay don't let him ruin TMNT!"

But what about those hundreds of other people who probably devoted a lot of time to this project already and are now unemployed?
rabbitncavylove 16th-Jun-2012 04:20 am (UTC)
the movie is postponed.. not cancelled. I'm sure they are still being paid for work done and can find another production job

it is better in the long run if the movie is profitable .. it won't be unless they fix things now

I remember liking Leo only because he was the blue turtle. Donatello and Michelangelo were tied for 2nd.
ukesenshi 16th-Jun-2012 05:39 am (UTC)
I liked Leo because I thought he was the hottest.

Yeah, idk either. I'm hoping it was a voice thing. Like, I liked his voice the best or something.

They are starting to get into Disney/Universal flop territory.

when i was younger i like raphael & his brooding rebel attitude. but now that i am older, i realize i'd rather like someone like donatello, who is intelligent & would be able to hold a steady job to fiscally support me & our turtle-babies.

I was looking for episodes of TMNT with the CHARACTER Slash and youtubed it.

I didn't click on anything. But the titles... THE TITLES!!!

Now if only Micheal Bay would move on & shit on something else.
Give him oh ... I don't know. Give him ... My Little Pony.

Simply because I wanna see some hipster bronies go ape-shit on him.
