I know we like to hate it, as with anything that Michael Bay touches, but right now it doesn't look to bad. I'd say that even decent for a 21st Century live-action adaptation. Maybe because I love William Fichtner, but I don't see in this trailer anything rage-inducing.
At least they're mutants and teenage again.
William Fitchner and Will Arnett? Didn't see that coming.

Hmm I don't know... Looks like it'll lack some of the more emotional stuff, so I'm sort of expecting a generic popcorn flick. As a turtles fan, I don't like it, as a regular moviegoer, it'll probably be really cool.
Leonardo looked pretty alright (he also didn't talk so that remains to be experienced) but that damn face on Mike. What were they thinking? From the footage and toys it seems Raphael is going to be a big brute which already makes me disappointed.

Slowpunch and something is up with media tags.
I like turtles
who on earth thought this was a good idea
oh yeah
I had no idea this was announced in March of 2012. I just found like few months ago. I can only imagine this movie going horrendously. This young edgy shit needs to stop.
I'm cautiously optimisitic.
The overall mood of the turtles seems spot-on (that mask joke was TMNT as shit) and the voices sound good.
I'm not really judging their looks off of this trailer, seeing as how they ALWAYS look like shit without their masks.
They're not aliens anymore, so that's a step in the right direction. I remember seeing the original script (back from when they WERE aliens). If you took out all the space junk and focused a little less on Casey and April, it sounded like a perfect TMNT movie.
So we'll just have to see.
To be honest i'd be totally alright if the Ooze was somehow of alien origin, as long as they were still mutated turtle abominations.

The 2003 cartoon was like that i think.
Everyone's going off about the Foot being mercenaries now, a white Shredder, Megan Fox as April, and the new turtle designs, but honestly the only thing I'm worried about is Danny Woodburn as Splinter.
I'm guessing that Splinter will be shorter now, and extremely grumpy? The only thing I can imagine him as is a source of comedy relief rather than the turtles' wise sensei/father.
so who is Shia Labeof and Eddie Murphy playing as
Actually, I have only one grip with already shown material. It's sort of major but it could've been solved very easily. The look of the turtles:

the #2 snouts make them look more like human/turtle hybrids than mutated turtles
anyways, i saw those pics a few hours ago and the huge rantings on facebook all agree it should be the #1 or the in between as seen with leo
other than that i think the design of the turtles is fine
That fix is a great one indeed but it's too late for them to fix this, unless they would fix this in VFX.
Possible spoilers leaked. Very unlikely that they're true considering that they were first posted on 4chan, but here they are:
[quote][sp]Someone, actually someones at a pretty high level within the movie has leaked me some pretty juicy tidbits about the movie. They were already excused from the production and apparently just had a blowout with the bigwigs on it, so they gave me the green light to go ahead and post some spoilers:
Some ghastly tidbits:
* The Turtles are normal human teenaged non-identical quadruplet brothers age 18, 3 of which as janitors, and the "lead" brother in security, all at TCRI when they stumble into the "Central Mutagenic Chamber" that they know they're not supposed to go to and become accidentally exposed to it. I don't know their real names but I'm told they're equivalent to "Tom, Steven, Jim and Dave."
* The ooze instantly mutates you in this universe into the last thing you touched. The last thing the brothers touched was a tortoise they find in the lab and pass around goofily ala "Hot Potato."
* The ooze automatically makes you learn "kung fu," ala the Matrix. No mention of ninjitsu beyond dialogue of the Turtles talking conversationally about, "How cool! We're like, ninjas now, dudes!" So the Turtles are basically "Late Teenaged Mutant Kung Fu Tortoises."
* April O'Neil's father IS Splinter. Or at least, is now. "Mac" O'Neil seems to be his real name. He barely remembers April, instead the mutagen-infused martial arts side of him takes over. Strange. In any case, he's there, lurking under the TCRI building, just in time to save the newly mutated Turtles and take them under his wing. There's some pretty long training sequences where they basically refuse to conform and try to rebel against Splinter's teachings. "You must take this gift, this opportunity, and become heroes for the people of this city!!!" Lame.
* April is a news reporter that is investigating TCRI, where Baxter is further refining the ooze for Erich Sachs. Like the first movie, the Foot/Shredder doesn't like her snooping around, so they attempt to silence her but fail (and then she meets the Turtles and makes fast friends).
* There is no Hamato Yoshi beyond some quick mention of the original Shredder, Oroku Saki, having been in conflict with one's rival clan in a particular era of Feudal Japan that Erich Sachs is interested in/seems to obsess on. There is a flashback to some of this, a big sweeping montage of Japanese samurai and ninja fighting, but it might end up getting cut in the theatrical cut.
* Erich Sachs isn't a real person. He's an android and Prime Leader Krang has been inside him the whole time. There's a whole Transformers-like crash landing on Earth scene centuries ago, and there's a scene where you see him being built, and the prototype looks almost exactly like the Fred Wolf TMNT android body for Krang, red underwear and all, but more segmented. Turns out he used to "be" Oroku Saki in Feudal Japan.
* Sachs hires criminals to create crime, creates the Foot to deal with the crime after being empowered, and then when a state of martial law is instituted, uses the Foot to basically take control of the city in the guise of the Shredder.
* Karai is the military leader of the Foot.
* The Turtles go on a hunch to the Appalachian Mountains to investigate a TCRI lead by April. The Turtles do a flash mob dance to try and distract the Foot guards there. At one point, Don loses his glasses and can't fight, but ends up accidentally KOing Foot Soldiers anyway. It's very embarrassing. They escape, for now.
* The Turtles and Vernon get kidnapped by the Foot, Raphael and April have to rescue them.
* The Technodrome (piloted by Krang-Shredder) comes out in New York, destroying a bunch of buildings. Expect Armageddon/Independence Day stuff here. A gateway opens to Dimension X and Rock Soldiers start coming out, and start taking out EVERYBODY, even the Foot Soldiers (whose use to Krang-Shredder is apparently over, or at least trivialized).
* Raph at the wheel, Donatello's Turtle Van (foreshadowed earlier in the movie) runs over a bunch of Rock Soldiers and rams its way into the Technodrome.
* Big final battle. They fight their way through Rock Soldiers and robots and other Dimension X monsters. The captive Turtles are freed just in time for the big battle... where a somewhat brainwashed Vernon (actually, it turns out Vernon was under the employ of Sachs the whole movie... there's a line about Sachs paying a whole hell of a lot better than the news station) and Baxter are mutated into Bebop and Rocksteady. Splinter joins the fight. At one point it almost looks like its going to end like the first movie (Splinter taking him out), but it's more the Turtles' teamwork that saves the day. And April knocks down Karai for the second movie in a row. Wowzers.
* Good guys win, bad guys lose (though there's a spark of hope in the Vernon-Bebop), what's left of the Technodrome is sent back to Dimension X with Krang-Shredder and Bebop and Rocksteady and the whole crew of Rock Soldiers. April gives Raphael a big makeout-caliber kiss and everybody goes for pizza at Pizza Hut while a scared staff presides over it. Father and daughter reunion with April and Splinter, who now "remembers" it all. Think, the schwarma scene from Avengers, but silly.
* After the credits scene of an invasion force of Krang-like Utroms in Dimension X getting ready to invade Earth, Leatherhead on some kind of mass leashes (think, the Alien Queen from AVP). There is MULTIPLE Technodromes rolling forth, and some of what look like floating Technodrome orbs. "[/sp][/quote]
The Pizza Hut scene has me especially skeptical, but after everything else they've shown nothing would surprise me.
wow, i literally read half of that being predicted on facebook.
[sp]i do like them using krang, one of the more interesting aspects of the turtles' mythology imo. the rest is half and half, depends on how it plays out in the film. still, no fucking casey jones is bullshit.[/sp]
The voice of Leonardo (and also splinter) has been cast:

what the fuck lol
Why did you show me those face edits? Now I can actually see how much better they would look and be even more angry. Also that casting, aaahhhhh.
Okay, so Splinter will be a midget but he'll be voiced by that guy from Monk. Somehow I'm surprisingly okay with that.
Knoxville as Leonardo is just..odd. He'd better suit a wildcard like Raphael or Michelangelo. He won't be completely out of place though, he just doesn't fit the voice I imagined for Leo.
If Rob Paulsen is not in this movie I will flip
Just have him be on a cameo

Splinter better not make a fucking Monk joke
Who am I kidding they're probably going to turn Splinter into an OCD crazed autist
