The new live-action reboot will be in the same vein of Batman Begins, Casino Royale and new Star Trek. A re-invisioning of the origin of the turtles which is based on the non-kid-friendly original comic series. It's dark, gritty and very violent compared to the goofy 1987 cartoon series which inspired the first three films. I wouldn't be surprised to see a hard R version with violence and tone similar to 300. A high profile director could attach themselves to the project.
They will keep the stuntman in a suit concept but will now use CGI faces, more than likely using the same technology we saw in Watchmen. The characters that will make the film will be April O'Neil, Casey Jones, Shredder and Splinter. It was hinted that the story of Dr. Baxter Stockman and the mousers could also make the movie.
Casting Thoughts:
Lauren Lee Smith (Pathology, CSI, Trick r' Treat) as April O'Neil
Ken Watanabe (Last Samurai, Batman Begins) as Shredder
Sam Witwer (Game, The Mist, Battlestar Galactica) as Casey Jones
