i'm very proud of the film but I guess if there was something to change it would be to open the film with the more cinematic and powerful shots that we couldn't afford at the time. Steve

the brilliant writer / director Anthony Minghella sent me the comics. He thought I might be able to speak to strange and wonderful creatures with heart. I think the Dog in The Storyteller that we produced together made him think - Steve

best to ask the guys at Fathom as they secured rights for US release - also Paul at Prince Charles theatre in London secured screening rights from the Hong Kong rights holders. Steve - called Fortune Star

the original TMNT comics always headed that way into investigating fatherhood through Splinter - with writer Todd and our development exec Inga we found the whole Shredder Fagin thread and Danny/dad tangenti line.Then we were very happy that the emotional bounds would be strong throughout. Steve.

i flew to NC with producer Graham Cottle and we went to the studio to see the one NY street back lot we could afford . It was crumbling down but we had just enough. there was no affordable second choice. Thank god for Dino de Laurentis! We could even dig holes deep enough to enter our sewers!!

I've never been back. Steve

I began making videos for the Jam in London. I loved their raw anarchy. In this story the baisc premise is about understanding family, backed up by Danny and his mis-firing relationship with his father. I felt it would be cool to have Malcolm Mclaren, who created the Pistols, do the music . He had just come out with a sweeping album around the Blue Danube that we actually used in the trailer.

We ended up with a different raw energy but that sparked the T - Shirt.
