The weirdest thing about this is the title appearing onscreen ~30 seconds in. That's been out of vogue for around 20 years (or more) now.

Also Sir Walnutsbane himself, Rickon, is playing young Dracula.

In any case, I'm getting serious Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter vibes off of that trailer (maybe it's because of Dominic Cooper), and I'm down for that.

It won't get mine either, but there are entire generations of kids who either barely know about the Turtles or only have that Nickelodeon show to go on and I guarantee that this movie looks like the most awesome thing they have ever seen in their entire lives based solely on the energy and kinetic flow evident in that trailer. I know if I were 8 and relatively inexperienced with the cliches of summer action flicks I'd think that.

What's crazy is that TMNT has been around in some form or another consistently since the first cartoon came out way back when. Even GI Joe took a drat break.

It's drat criminal that the years before Game of Thrones have felt so Charles Dance-deprived. I'm not sure if this is a good example but I need way more Charles Dance in my day-to-day media.

Movie looks pretty ennnnh though. I really liked how Coppola's Dracula was not just a monster, but this looks angsty as hell. Lukula will probably heroically sacrifice himself in the end to save his people. And how much physical force can you get out of a swarm of bats anyway?


The new TMNT is weird, though. It seems to be doing many of the things the Transformers movie was doing - very loud, lots of stuff going on, lots of stuff tacked on to the bulky characters - but I was moderately into TMNT as a kid, and I think it looks fun. I don't mind the redesigns at all, the only thing that made me iffy was the scrapped idea that they were space aliens. As long as this doesn't repeat Transformers's cardinal mistake - focusing way too much on the human character, April - I'm looking forward to it.

who do you carry the torch for, my young man?
The 2003 TMNT series was pretty cool and is the one that I associate most with "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles". It's gone through a variety of formats, cool fighting turtles seems pretty timeless, and I think it's going to keep sticking around in one way or another. I don't want to see that movie, but it will probably make bank. I don't see it being as huge as something like Transformers but I don't know what the heck.

Dracula Untold will end with Dracula brooding in his castle until there's a knock at the door and he opens it to a rather normal looking Englishman who asks, "Count Dracula?" "Yes?" "I've been looking for you. *Swell of dissonant violins* My name is Jonathan Harker." Cut to black.

I was really into TMNT as a kid, loved the 80s cartoon and the live action movies.

This new one looks like total crap though, I don't see what some of you people are seeing.
Shredder looks like a mess of CGI just like the Transformers were and the turtles themselves look like horrifying creatures that were aborted during the concept design stage but they made them anyways.
And Megan Fox as April is likely one of the worst casting choices I've ever seen/

I know anime is often treated the way garlic is unto vampires around these parts, but I think the exception to the rule would have to be Studio Ghibli unless you're truly a blithering pathetic husk of a goon. Anyway they released a trailer for their next movie and it's very pretty with a very pretty song. It's about a lonely girl who befriends a ghost.
