Welcome to The Technodrome! Since 1999, we have been bringing you classic TMNT content from the perspective of the villains.

As I'm sure many TMNT fans know by now, an original direct-to-video animated movie commemorating the 25th anniversary of the TMNT will debut this year! While new details are still emerging about the project, it appears that the special will feature a crossover between the new (2003) cartoon and original (1987) cartoon versions of the Turtles!

4kids plans to premiere the special (or at least a nearly complete version of the film) at the San Diego Comic Con (July 23-26) and the direct-to-video release will follow later this fall. A few brief scenes from the film can be seen in at the end of this clip on the 4kids website (choose the first option called "TMNT 25th Top Ten Promo" and the scenes from the special are about 30 seconds into the clip). Also, check out the 4kids blog for teaser screenshots and more information.

Feel free to discuss this exciting new project in this thread, where new information about it is being posted regularly. Keep checking back for updates and for an official release date!

Thanks to Blade Raider for the links and information!

Just to post this as an official news item, Mirage announced today (in celebration of the 25th anniversary of the TMNT) that a new live-action TMNT film is in production! Although this will technically be the fifth TMNT movie to be released in theaters, the project will be a separate entity from previous films and will focus on the Turtles' origins. Peter Laird (who will act as an executive producer) has stated that the new film "will remain true to the spirit of the original comic books." Scott Mednick (formerly of Legendary Pictures) and Galen Walker (producer of the recent CG TMNT film) will produce the new movie. The yet untitled film is expected to be released in 2011. We'll keep you posted with more news on this upcoming release as it becomes available! In the meantime, more information and discussion about this announcement can be found here.

For those of you who noticed our April Fool's joke on the forums this year, hope you enjoyed it. In case anyone missed it, each avatar had a 20% chance of being replaced with either a goofy-looking Krang or a dancing Shredder every time a thread or profile was viewed.

Merry Christmas, everyone! To celebrate the holiday season (and our anniversary a couple of months ago), here is the first part of a two-part update to the site.

First, we have a new poll! This new poll asks how long you have been a TMNT fan. Be sure to vote in the column to the right of the page!

Also, the results for the previous poll are in. Raphael was voted as the turtle whose personality is most like yours with 144 votes (33.6%). Donatello came in second place with 99 votes (23.1%), and Michaelangelo came in a close third with 96 votes (22.4%). For the full results of this poll and all other previous polls, click the Previous Polls link in the left column under Information.

Finally, we added a new Trivia game to the site! This new game asks you 25 questions from the the TMNT cartoon series, comics, and movies, and gives you 4 choices to pick from for each question. Check it out under Interactive on our menu to the left. Thanks to radixvir for contributing the questions several years back!

And if you haven't already seen it (or would like to see it again), don't forget that we have some fun Christmas-related content in our Miscellaneous section under Fan Works. Enjoy the updates, and be sure to check back soon for the rest of them!

Note: This news was originally posted on 12/24.
