TMNT 2014 Rocksteady, Bebop and Krang concept art

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot done a lot better than some people expected, it made a fair amount of money against its budget resulting in it being given a sequel to come out in 2016. I personally have not seen the film as of yet, due to it not releasing until later this week here (UK) a whole two months later than the US market which I find annoying to say the least.

However, I do know that two of my all time favourite characters from anything did not make an appearance allowing them to come into it later, now we have some concept art for said characters including Krang. Here is the concept art for Rocksteady, Bebop and Krang.

Rocksteady and Bebop have a realistic vibe to their look, making them look this way would have been a great addition to the film given how dim and animalistic they can be at times. Krang looks like he would really suit this kind of humanised world that they are creating for the TMNT franchise, I would happily see these three conceptual ideas on the big screen, maybe in the 2016 sequel? Who knows.

"Ninja Turtles" poster gives us a new look at the Turtles!

Last night a new teaser poster titled "Ninja Turtles" made its way online, the poster debuted on Reddit which proves all the recent talk and image leaks of the Turtles are correct. The poster shows off Leo's bamboo armour, Raph's sunglasses, Mich's puka shell necklace and Donnie's scientific looking goggles/glasses. I like how they aren't all identical they have their own look, not just their accessories.

A HUGE thing that jumps out on the poster, is the top right "Ninja Turtles"which you guys will remember was Bay rumoured new title for the film when they planned on making the Turtles more alien opposed to mutant. Now it looks like this rumours is confirmed, again, let's hope that they will still avoid the alien approach.

A few people have been complaining that they have "human lips", my guess is so that when we see them speaking on screen it will have a more natural looking aesthetic opposed to how The Muppets look when they talk. Plus people have also said that the Halloween costume design looked too childish, I hope this poster puts that mind frame to bed, this poster and the other on set mock-ups clearly show a more dark/adult version of the Turtles that we are not used too.

Kevin Eastman talks Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot

If you are not familiar with the name Kevin Eastman, well you should be he is the co-creator of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles along with Peter Laird. Despite disagreeing with Laird on what the upcoming TMNT film will be like Eastman believes we are all jumping the gun and misjudging the film.
In his recent release he spoke about Joss Whedon and "The Avengers" which is always a good sign, I loved the Ninja Turtles growing up even have my original Turtles from the last 1980's.

"One of the things that’s awesome about the relationship I’ve had with Platinum Dunes and Michael Bay and Jonathan Liebesman and some of the producers, Scott Mednick and Galen Walker on the series, is that It’s probably amusing to a lot of people what the press puts out there and what they say people behind the scenes really want to do with the movie, but [Platinum Dunes'] main goal is actually to make the best possible “Turtles” movie with respect to the fans and the core audience as possible. We’ve learned from movies like “The Avengers,” which to me was a superhero movie so good to me personally that I practically wept. It was perfect, you know what I mean? That’s the stuff that I grew up on. Joss Whedon just knocked it out of the park, the whole team did, and that includes choreographing all the interlocking movies. From everything that I’ve seen in the ["TMNT"] script and the development and everything they’ve asked my input on specifically, it’s gonna be an awesome, familiar, solid “Turtles” movie. It’ll have everything that fans are gonna want and then some."
