"Paul has already started work on Tales of the TMNT #56, the issue that introduces Hun into the Mirage continuity, and I couldn't be more excited. I'm actually more excited about the next two stories than I was about my first issue, and MORE excited than I was when I was told I could bring the Turtles to Australia (this week's issue!).

You've seen my concept bit of Hunter "Hun" Mason, now here's a glimpse of Paul's first rough." -- Tristan Jones

.." ..I feel like I'm doing some of the best work of my career right now, and it feels good, even though there's a lot of it (and never enough time to do it, lol). I also helped out on the new season of TMNT, which will be coming out sometime this month. I worked on the style guide and also did some illustration work for the show intro. I'll post those when I get the go ahead, they came out pretty cool.

I also recently completed this cover to a TMNT Season 2 DVD. Colors by Emilio Lopez. .."

Icelandic rapper, raps about TMNT

Hey TokKA, I just liked to share with you this link because I thought that maybe some of TMNT Fans or maybe someone you know at Mirage (like Steve Murphy) might find this funny or amusing.

..Controversial Icelandic rapper Bent recently released the song "1, 2 & Jesus" which describes his fall to atheism. ..

But the first verse is very interesting to note, as it's all about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

He raps about how he wanted the TMNT Action Figures, the T-Shirts (and he's wearing one in the video) as well as the popular Nintendo games from Konami.

He then says that he used to pray to Jesus and then Santa, but when neither gave him his wishes, he moved to atheism.

Wanted to share with you the video just to show you that TMNT are still making headline news in various places.

Re: New Live Action Ninja Turtles Movie In The Works?
Posted by: Kevin Eastman (IP Logged)

Yes, it is true. Although the CGI film did well enough to warrent a sequel, there has been much talk between Imagi and Warners to do a better "re-invention" (newest Hollywood buzzword) of the TMNT's, in a live action film--like what was done with Batman. Back to basics, back to the origin and the intro of the Shredder, etc...there have been talks, trips to Northampton to talk to Mr Laird, and discussions with the original "first" TMNT film director Steve Barron to come back and do it right--but no official word yet...will keep you posted. Best, Kevin

Rose:"In case it's not already obvious, a Press Kit gets constructed and released - to the press - as part of the marketing effort for a film. These days they're all done digitally, compiled onto DVDs. Back in 1990 it was a simple folder loaded with some 8x10 black and white photos and some photocopied production notes.

Instead of focusing on a deleted scene today, I thought I would give typing a break and scan the contents of the press kit for the original movie. After I did that, I ended up typing 20 pages of production notes, so I really didn't save myself from anything.

Below you'll find all of the photos included with the kit as well as an excerpt from the production notes. If you download the complete .zip file, you'll have more production notes to read. One of the reasons I went through with typing 20 pages of these things was that all of the information is really, really unique and interesting, and I'm not sure that there's anywhere else that you can read something similar to this. There are quotes from all of the major players who had a hand in making the movie, including the late and great Jim Henson.

It's really all quite fantastic and I think it will also give you extra appreciation for all of the hard work that people put into this movie to make it the classic it ended up being.

A classic that should receive proper DVD treatment! *ahem*"
