Leaked Paramount memo?(Star Trek, GI Joe 2, TMNT)

World War Z needs to be done in the style of Ken Burn's PBS documentary series The Civil War for it to really work. IMO (a mix of "archival footage", interviews, etc.). Although, not sure that would fly as a two-hour film as much as it would as a mini-series for HBO or some such.

I think it can work if it's done in a tone similar to District 9, but it can't stray away from the documentary format like D9 does.

Or they might decide to focus on fewer perspectives and go the flashback/narrated route with Pitt as a survivor of the war telling his story. That could work too, as an adaptation.

Pitt as the Narrator.

I'm sure that they're talking about Transformers being a commercial and finical success rather than the actual films plot being any good.

I am really surprised they(any writer) have a hard time writing a good TMNT movie...I liked the CGI one from a few years ago.

Me too. For a while, I think that movie held my personal record for the most times I've ever seen a movie at the theaters. (I think I may have since broken that record with either Sherlock Holmes or Star Trek.)

I'm not sure I'd like to see them really push TMNT to be the next Transformers. Granted, I'm not entirely sure what that means but I hated the Transformers movies. They were big, dumb, loud, & irritating! I do think the Ninja Turtles are awesome and fairly idiot-proof so long as you get the archetypes right. But honestly, I'd prefer to see a sequel to the 2007 CGI movie, especially since it's able to loosely fit into the continuity of the 1990s live action films.

You would think...TMNT is less complicated than GI JOE...I can see why they want to push for it more.

I'm sure that they're talking about Transformers being a commercial and finical success rather than the actual films plot being any good.

Hopefully it can have both TMNT as stated by The Borgified Corpse is "fairly idiot-proof"...that being said an idiot like Michael Bay could easily screw it up...get Brad Bird involved with TMNT and watch the magic happen!

I think that Kevin Munroe had the right idea with "TMNT" just I thought his plot was a little too overblown and he used a new villain that fell a little short otherwise the film was fine. I actually would have liked to seen what he would have done with a sequel.
