    Well they talk too but if the Turtles get the same treatment then we've already heard their entire dialogue for the film in that trailer.

    I don't remember Donatello saying anything in the trailer. Maybe they are going to make him mute like they did with Bumblebee.

    Judging by the trailer I would say no. There's a bit where Fitchner says "We're going to upgrade your armour" and we get a brief glimpse of a bald man in shadows. Although imdb does have him playing "The Shredder" so maybe he dons the armour at some stage himself

    I don't think this needs to be spoilered. It's in the trailer and the movie's selling point is hardly going to be it's intricate plot :pac:

    I took what he said as "we're upgrading your armour, now it's my armour", so I think it's pretty clear Fitchner is playing Shredder. Says it on IMDB too as you say.

    I wasn't sure. Some people may be avoiding the trailer. Better safe than sorry

    I'm on the fence about going to this, the turtles look bizarre and the Shredder armour is just way OTT. I love the original movie, yeah its aged but it has a lot of charm, and is pretty dark in places for a kids movie. The turtle suits look better than the cgi in the new one too. In fact their appearance has gotten worse with each film

    1990 movie:

    I can't remember, I have only vague memories of the show. Don't recall her being a love interest though.

    Didn't they get separated as babies and she got raised by someone else who taught her kung fu?

    There was a crossover episode with the power rangers too.

    Stanky awful show :(

    Tried to watch the live action series a few months back and don't t think I managed to get through a single episode, it really is just unwatchable trash.

    The animated movie a few years ago was watchable.

    It was more than watchable, it was a damn fine little film and I really would have liked to see them do a sequel. Kevin Munro who directed it is co-directing the Ratchet and Clank film, I'm assuming he returned to CGI cinema to lick his wounds after the critical and commercial drubbing he suffered with his Dylan Dog adaptation.

    TMNT? yeah it was, there's been so many different shows and spinoffs now it's mind boggling. There's the original show, the 2003 reboot, the awful live action one, the cgi one, the newer cgi one ( I think) and there was a few movies too.

    Release date for the movie in Australia September 11 (9/11)
    Paramount had to apologize.
    "Combining that image and date was a mistake. We intended no offense and have taken immediate action to discontinue its use."

    The cynic in me thinks that was intentional to get more publicity.

    I would say it more to do with 9/11 as it affected the world at that date.
    I could be wrong

    I seem to remember the producer of TMNT demolishing most of downtown Chicago in Transformers 3, yet nobody batted an eyelid. Hard to see this as anything other than a cheap way to drum up some publicity in the morning free-papers.

    According to IMDB (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1291150/releaseinfo) the movie was released in U.S last week and it's only going to be released here in 2 months, wtf is going on? I've never seen a release phased so far apart, any reason for this?

    That's unusual these days to have so long between the US and European releases?

    Unusual but not unheard of. Generally it's Disney who still have the stagnated releases but I'm assuming that this was done so that they could resuse much of the promotional material. Reviews are decent enough for the film so you'd have expected a simultanious release world wide. The US home release was schedule for mid October so I imagine that a lot of people like myself who grew up with the comic, tv series and films will simply import that Region A Blu-Ray which will hurt the box office over here.
