If they give whatever creative team they put behind their iteration of TMNT the same freedom they allowed Avatar, I have no doubt it will be great.

The next TMNT live action movie can absolutely NOT be made for a target audience of 5-7yr olds, it must be made for an older audience while not excluding the 10-14yr kids. My team and I have been developing a vision for a live action TMNT movie since summer of 2005, we completed our vision last fall and have been developing our marketing materials ever since. Now that the power has shifted, we can only pray Paramount will hear what we have to say. Check out our Ninja Turtles movie project at www.turtlesthemovie.com We would love to hear all of you Ninja Turtles fans out there!

The Ninja Turtles originated in 1984, not 1967. Everyone knows they were a violent adult aimed comic book first, which is what we’re referring to when we say “dark” in this story.

Easy, sunshine.

The original fans are now in their late 30s and 40s. Before the cartoon was the original and beautiful comic book series. The language and themes were definitely aimed at adults (4 letter words and teenage sexual frustration) the fans in their 20s probably don't even know that these books exist.
