Gamerz-Edge: The Turtles have seen some drastically different artistic portrayals throughout their existence; for example, everything was quite a bit darker in the classic comic, and then more lighthearted come the cartoon television series. With this in mind, what approach do you intend to take with your portrayal of the Turtles in this film?
Kevin Munroe: After story, this is one of the biggest priorities for me. This movie is really going to be a throwback to the tone of the first comics. So much so that when I first met with Peter Laird, I brought my personal TMNT issue #1 from ’84 for him to sign – I was a big fan before Imagi even knew who I was. I love that book and just the raw energy of it – both in terms of the action but also the visual vibe. The question then becomes “Hey Mr. Smarty Pants Director, how does that seed translate into a cgi feature in 2007”? Well, we’re going after a moodier and darker grit that will give us a lot of negative/black areas on screen. The color palate is going to be rich, but we won’t be throwing every color under the sun on frame at once. The animation and boarding will be heavily influenced by our collective love of comic book style. The tests we’ve done so far are looking amazing – like a hand-painted dark graphic novel. As for the Turtles themselves, well, you’ll just have to stay tuned for that one. We’ve been working very closely with Peter and Mirage to develop the look. But rest assured that these are not bubbly turtles in a half shell from the first TV series…
LinkageHoly awesome!!

From the sounds of how it will look and be animated and if they can stick to the feel of the original comics then it could be a really good movie but I heard a rumour saying that poster was fan made... Whather it is or isn't it's cool.

I would hazard a guess to say it was, i don't think the turtles will look as close to the live action movies as they seem to in the picture, as well as taking an old font is also a little strange.
But the sounds of it, going back to the dark and gritty, does sound very cool.

I never saw the third.
That was 'Back in Time' right?

yeah. he returns as Casey Jones but he's like the reincarnation of some guy that they meet when they go back in time. they don't make too big a deal of it.

Ha yes indeed, I was just joking Burnside. I never really cared for the films myself, but hey if you guys dig 'em than I'm glad, I hope the new one turns out really cool.

Concept Art for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Immortal
Looks pretty damn sweet. Edgy, gritty... If the movie is anything like that it will be great.

The go back in time to Japan. That's the only thing I remember of that movie though, it's been ages since the last time I saw it

Yup, they go back to save April. BTW, The "April" actress for that movie sucked out loud.
