For those who were between the ages of nine and 12 in 1990, Steve Barron's film "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" was a banner event. It was the first time the ultra-popular mutants were seen in live-action, and Barron did not disappoint. The Turtles were provided by Jim Henson's Creature Shop who constructed full-body foam latex suits for the actors, as well as animatronic, full-head masks. Voice actors would record dialogue, and puppeteers would operate myriad facial servos by remote, making it look like the Turtles were talking. Each of the four title teens required a voice actor, a body actor, a facial puppeteer, and, in a few cases, a fight or skateboarding double. It took 11 actors in total to play four characters.
The result was rather astonishing. The Turtles felt more real than they ever had before or, arguably, since. The facial movements on the mutant masks may have been...

What do you get when you mix Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure with The Matrix? How about Control-Alt-Delete? No, that's not a suggestion to do a hard reboot on any computer used to write such a convoluted script idea. Instead it's the title of a new project recently picked up by Warner Brothers, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Unfortunately, that mashed-up comparison is the only insight we have into the script by Tim Kelleher and Danny Zuker, but it's enough to intrigue me. Hopefully Warner Brothers, who is producing the script along with Bob Shaye's Unique Features, knows more then that concept though. Then again, studios have picked up films on less info.

I always find it funny when two a new project gets cooking with the same name as another recently released film, or one on its way to being released. Tiff got a taste of Tyler Labine's lascivious leanings in the Canadian comedy Control Alt Delete, which had him sexing up computers, and now The Hollywood Reporter posts that Warner Bros. is getting in on the rebooting phrase with a new spec called Control-Alt-Delete from writers Tim Kelleher and Danny Zucker. I guess the dashes make all the difference.
Instead of focusing on the world of millennium crashes and computer hardware fetishes, the film is being described as Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure meets The Matrix. So, two stoner dudes jump back and forth through time, only to realize that they're not jumping through time, but through computer programs? Will they then, gasp, fear being deleted with a reboot? I don't know,...

Control-alt-delete is really a dreaded phrase for PC users-- something has gone horribly, horribly wrong, and the only way to fix it is to press series of arcane buttons. But for some reason Warner Bros. wants to remind us of the most dreaded computer command, cooking up an adventure story called, of course, Control-Alt-Delete. Describes as a "high-concept spec" by The Hollywood Reporter, as well as a mix between Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure and The Matrix, the script is written by Tim Kelleher and Danny Zuker. No word on whether Keanu Reeves will be involved, given the description, or how they will fit George Carlin and Morpheus into the same movie.

Warner Bros. is pressing "Control-Alt-Delete," picking up the high-concept spec from writers Tim Kelleher and Danny Zuker. Bob Shaye and Dylan Sellers are producing through their Unique Features banner.
The concept is described as "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" meets "The Matrix." Sarah Schechter and Jesse Ehrman are overseeing for the studio.
Unique, formed in June by Shaye and fellow New Line founder Michael Lynne, is developing an adaptation of Isaac Asimov's futuristic sci-fi epic "Foundation." Vince Gerardis also is a producer on that project.
Kelleher, repped by Wma, is a longtime character actor who will be seen in Will Smith's "Seven Pounds." His only other writing credit is 1996's Disney comedy "First Kid."
CAA-repped Zuker is a longtime TV writer-producer with credits ranging from "Roseanne" and "Just Shoot Me!" to "Oliver Beene" and "Stacked."...
