TheStreet.com wrote a transcript of the third quarter financial report for Viacom, the parent company of Paramount Pictures which distributed the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles blockbuster.
There, Paramount confirmed that the sequel has completed principal photography; thus the team has moved on to post production where special FX and CGI are currently being worked on.
I’ll watch this for Stephen Amell.
Here’s what I wrote of everything I could think of for ideas:
I gave a lot of ideas of how they can continue sequels but without it being story repeats like how Transformers has sort of been with the first four movies, and now they’re talking about how they have a staff going through all Transformers content to transform the Michael Bay Transformers movies without revamping it, those movies have sold well where that’s something to look at. With Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles I was talking about combining the adult nature (Like TMNT’s Bodycount) with the original comics, and with the original cartoon which had very good writing in many ways if anyone noticed. The first movie of Michael Bay had a lot of good things to where it was adult in many ways, and it took a lot from the comics, but so was the first movie in 1990 where it didn’t know how to transition into the sequels. I don’t know what ideology they’re going for with Shredder, where I thought it would be a good twist he goes back to his roots in his appearance like in his original crime lord days taking over the Foot Clan before going to the USA, but combining that with his creative ingenuity in the cartoon and being a great high level businessmen who runs many businesses including scientific to also create a new culture with Krang, with the technodrome and other hangouts for converts to their allegiance, that Sacks and possibly Baxter Stockman are also apart of (they’re using the comic version of Baxter Stockman as I suspected and thought was cool). I thought the Mirage comic appearance looked good, and don’t know if that gets in the way of the creative ingenuity that was only in the cartoon version for Shredder. I was thinking of a mixture of characterizations but where you feel that’s definitive Shredder, where in the comics he was a territorial gang brute native to Japan’s crime mafia but didn’t have the higher mind like the cartoon Shredder, who is teamed up with Krang to create an Empire, where in that way they can do the cartoon Shredder. Now that Shredder has a little bit of the mutagen, but with no animal nearby, he can be a lot stronger and youthful to where he wants to use more of his skill set instead of a cyborg suit. In the future he may go back to a cyborg suit and I’ve seen versions that also enhance his magical, energy, and extra sensory perception abilities. I would see him as more muscular but still lean, because he didn’t get too much of the mutagen. The bulky Super Shredder gets in the way of his fighting technique and doesn’t project the image he would want to create. He can make some of his mutated beings bulky like that, like Bebop and Rocksteady of human animal mutants, and pure animal mutants who are a lot bigger and bulkier like Tokka and Rahzar. Like in the original cartoon Krang and Shredder with their scientists use a lot of creative scientific plans and a lot of new scientific research with Shredder’s business finance, but also with the technodrome’s resources to where Krang is experienced at accumulating resources with his extraterrestrial techniques like mining for many minerals and making technology out of scratch from resource mining. It can be a mixture. Krang and Shredder also want to use the resource system of civilization along with the advanced extraterrestrial resource system (Like the war ridden crime culture of Dimension X that was once a much better quality place to be of races of highly advanced intelligent beings who are now stuck in that culture in very bad times that has technologies of many races on it of all levels, and from the vast teachings of Krang’s home planet he’s banned from). Krang and Shredder have created many different types of mutants for many purposes, where some muscle it, but others are created for specific purposes outside of the combat. Mutants are only one part of their plans where they use a lot of other things.
This is my idea of what a movie Shredder would look like in this phase:
