“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.”

“This technology has been proven to be incredibly effective if done correctly,” added Laird. “Look at the character of Davey Jones in the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ movies, with his mass of writhing tentacles… an incredible effect.

Well said Timewolf.

I'm personally all for it - if I don't like it, great. If I do like it, awesome.

I'm not going to pull the crap like people with the Star Wars era and "raping my childhood"

I was looking forward to a sequel to TMNT in the same style, but am open to this

By "Batman Begins" style im guessing they are going to try and be dark and gritty.
With turtles, that are mutants. Don't get me wrong, a guy who dresses as a bat is pretty cooky too, and that worked. but I don't have much faith in this.

I remember reading somewhere that the original comics were quite dark, gritty, and violent.
