Natty Posted July 5, 2001 Share Posted July 5, 2001 I found this on one of Australia's news websites, I thought some of you might be interested in this... especially TMNT fans 11:06 AEDT Thu 5 Jul 2001 Ninja turtles woo kung-fu director AFP - After eight years away from the big screen, former kid craze, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, will rise from the sewers again, thanks to director John Woo. The action superstar, who last directed Mission Impossible 2, is working on a computer-animated feature-film version of the $US4 billion ($A7.74 billion) franchise, according to website Zap2it.com. "I've always loved the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles," Woo said in a statement. The film - budgeted at between $US40 million ($A77.44 million) and $US60 million ($A116.17 million) - has a target release date of Christmas 2001, Zap2it.com said. Turtles co-creator Peter Laird said the project will mark a return "to their darker, edgier comic-book roots." The first Turtles movie - featuring live action with puppetry by Jim Henson's Creature Shop - was a 1990 phenomenon, grossing $US135.3 million ($A261.96 million), the entertainment website reported. The sequels didn't do as well. ------------------ Natty- I might be cute, but I'm also part of the crusade against Oil Filters... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtBlanc Posted July 5, 2001 Share Posted July 5, 2001 Woo! I hope this really turns out! (Unlike the supposed A-Team movie.) This would be awesome! I'm a big TMNT fan (as Frenchy can attest to), I watched them all the time when I was but a youngster. I'd love to see a new movie! This would be awesome, especially something that's a little more serious, like the first one. ------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
