"TMNT: The Next Mutation" was a concept for fourth live-action movie should this third movie prove a success. In this concept the Ooze that transformed the Turtles and Splinter was still in their bodies causing a much more drastic 2nd mutation. Michelangelos mutation would have gave him a more human appearance allowing him to walk amongst the people of the City. Donatellos mutation would have gave him to have psychic abilities, but have him wear an optic device because his mutation would cause his vision to deteriorate. Raphaels rage would cause him to mutate into a fearsome creature with claws and spikes jutting from his body. Leonardo would have the ability to mutate his skin into different textures. And Splinter would transform into a creature twice his size that he would have limited control over. However, the third movie was not as successful as hoped and the fourth movie was nixed.

5.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Little Miss Sunshine (2006)?
a.
The film premiered at the 1984 Cannes Film Festival in its original running time of 229 minutes, but on its American release the film was heavily edited by the Ladd Company (against
Sergio Leone
s wishes) and cut down to 144 minutes. This version scrapped the flashback structure Leone used, and instead arranged all the scenes in chronological order (a well-meaning but ultimately demeaning and criticized move). Most of the major cuts were in the childhood scenes, making the 1933 scenes the most prominent part of the film. Noodles 1968 meeting with Deborah was removed, and the films "garbage truck/opium den" conclusion was altered to Secretary Bailey shooting himself offscreen. This version flopped in the U.S. and many American critics, who knew of Leones original cut, attacked the short version viciously; some critics compared shortening the film to shortening
Richard Wagner

d.
Tim Curry
told "Fresh Air" interviewer
Terry Gross
that in the original play, he started out playing Dr. Frank-N-Furter with a German accent, but he changed that when he heard a woman on a bus speaking in a highly exaggerated High-English accent that reminded Curry of
Queen Elizabeth II
. He later combined that with elements of his mothers "telephone voice" to create Frank-N-Furters speaking voice. He also said that his mother, "a pretty hip lady," enjoyed the show, although not as much as she had liked it when he appeared in "The Pirates of Penzance" (because
Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother
had come to that).

b.
When the film was released in 1956, it was enormously controversial for its extremely risqué subject matter. The Legion of Decency condemned the film for its "carnal suggestiveness". Francis Cardinal Spellman condemned the film in a stunning attack from the pulpit of St. Patricks Cathedral two days before the film opened, saying that the film had been "responsibly judged to be evil in concept" and was certain that it would "exert an immoral and corrupting influence on those who see it", and exhorted all Catholics to refrain from patronizing the film "under pain of sin". Cardinal Spellmans condemnation of the film led to the Legion of Decencys first-ever nationwide boycott of an American-made film produced by a major studio. All over the country, almost 20 million Catholics protested the film and picketed theaters that showed it. The Catholic boycott nearly killed the film; it was cancelled by 77% of theaters scheduled to show it, and it only made a meager $600,000 at the box office. The film was also condemned by Time Magazine, which called it the dirtiest American-made motion picture that had ever been legally exhibited. Surprisingly, despite the films sordid elements, the Production Code Administration gave it a seal of approval, but only after nearly a year of arguments. This was one of many examples of how the lax attitude of new Code official
Geoffrey Shurlock
, the successor at the PCA to the strict Catholic militant
Joseph Breen
, would lead to a schism with the Legon of Decency and the PCAs own downfall over the next few years. After this film, the PCA drifted farther and farther away from its traditional guidelines until it was replaced by the MPAA ratings system in 1968.
c.
Bill Murray
