To premiere sometime next year on Nick, voice cast:

Sean Astin will voice red-masked, sai-wielding Raphael, and he reveals that Rob Paulsen, who voiced Raphael in the original ’90s animated series, will voice Donatello. Jason Biggs will be Leonardo, and Greg Cipes (Ben 10) is Michelangelo.

They look ok there but still iffy on those designs from that promo video. Nice cast though. Paulsen on Don is a nice fit though last time I heard him on Ben 10 I couldn't not hear Yakko Warner. Cipes did both Beast Boy and Kevin Levine so I think he could easily pull off something resembling Mikey. The other two I forget what they sound like. Astin has done some voice work though. Has Biggs?

The design in the picture looks VERY much like the comic book, and not the cartoon, which was quite different thematically. It will be interesting to see if the themes follow the art.

Here's the promo video from a few months ago:

Great, looks like crap.

Great, looks like crap.

It might be, but how in the world can you make this assessment based on this little bit that has been shown? :ohreilly:

It uses N64 graphics... Why would they use that for advertising if the real deal will look a lot better?
