Some time ago we reported that Kevin Eastman, co-creator of TMNT, was looking to get a live-action film based on the turtles. MTV News sat down with Peter Laird, the other creator of the franchise and its current owner, to talk about the movie.
Laird reveals that while Eastman is not involved in the process, there have been several meetings with interested people and he believes that they are pretty close to making a deal. He notes that further details are to be expected soon.
As for the film itself, don’t expect it to be full live-action. “We have pretty much decided that the next “TMNT” movie should be what we’ve been calling a “hybrid” — that is to say, live-action humans and sets combined with very realistic CGI Turtles (and possibly some other CGI characters),” Laird revealed.
The storyline for the film is yet to be finalized, he disclosed, adding that his preference would be a story that fits into the TMNT movie continuity. In the case of casting, he would like to see Chris Evans and Sarah Michelle Gellar, who voiced Casey and April in TMNT, reprise their roles “in the flesh”.
Hopes for a live-action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have been rekindled by none other than series co-creator Kevin Eastman who has confirmed that a new live-action movie based on the franchise is being talked about.
The film is primed to be a “re-invention” in the vein of the Batman films, going “back to basics, back to the origin and the intro of the Shredder, etc.,” said Eastman.
Eastman is so confident about the project that he has contacted and asked the original TMNT film director Steve Barron to come back and “do it right.”
The most recent entry in the franchise was a CG animated film that managed to do pretty well at the box office.
