The picture above is supposedly a glimpse of a design for the new Live-Action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle (TMNT) movie coming out in 2012.
“The basic idea, as I understand it, is to do an all live action shoot, with actors and stuntmen in full Turtle suits,” said Laird. “To add expressiveness to the Turtles’ faces which would be difficult if not impossible to get with animatronics and/or puppetry, there would be ‘face replacement,’ with CGI Turtle faces superimposed on the live action performers’ heads.”
In case you are not sure on what they are saying here its a lot like what Spike Jonze did with Where the Wild Things Are using Henson creations with cgi markers on the mouths to then computer generate realistic expressions
If you ask me, I don’t think I’ve been more disappointed in the creation of a TMNT movie. I own turtles and they don’t look like this, they are way cuter and younger looking.
