The big-screen revival of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has done well enough to warrant a sequel. And so TMNT 2 (or whatever the title will be) is already greenlit for a 2016 release. The first film didn't feature many fan-favorite elements from various previous Turtle incarnations, and it changed some of the stuff that…

We've had a long time to wonder what a Michael Bay-produced Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film would look like. Now that the film is in theaters we can see the results: pumped-up, violent, a bit over-sexualized, and simple but not exactly faithful to either the early comics stories, or the animation that made the turtles…

It's been clear ever since William Fichtner was cast as Shredder that Jonathan Liebesman's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot would take some liberties with the character's history. For one thing, Shredder has been portrayed as Japanese in the past, but Fichtner's take obviously won't be. And that's not the only thing that's changed. "I can…

Briefly: The Michael Bay-produced, Jonathan Liebesman-directed reboot of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will be coming out of the sewer a few weeks later than planned. Originally set for release June 6, 2014, it'll now be released August 8, 2014. That's one week after Guardians of the Galaxy and one week before The Expendables 3. The…

Last week's confirmation that William Fichtner would play Shredder in Jonathan Liebesman's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot didn't come as much of a shock. His role was described in the initial casting report as an "iconic" one from the Turtles universe, and aside from the Turtles themselves, they don't get much more iconic than Shredder.…

Next month, William Fichtner will get to terrorize a few beloved pop culture figures in The Lone Ranger. Next summer, he'll get to do more of the same, but with a different set of classic characters. Weeks after his casting was first announced, Fichtner has confirmed that he will star as the villainous Shredder in…

One of the more interesting aspects of Jonathan Liebesman's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has been the rather eclectic casting. Sure, hiring Megan Fox as April O'Neil was a fairly obvious choice, considering her connection to producer Michael Bay. But Will Arnett was a fun pick to play April's cameraman and rival Vernon Fenwick, and Danny Woodburn…

Heroes in mo-cap, CG power! After a few days of Megan Fox on the set of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the stars of the film have finally surfaced from the sewer. Actors Noel Fisher (Michelangelo) Jeremy Howard (Donatello) and Pete Ploszek (Leonardo) have been spotted on the set of the Jonathan Liebesman film in full motion-capture garb.…

The biggest "of course" news of the day comes from the set of the Michael Bay-produced, Jonathan Liebesman-directed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot. At one point the film was going to be called Ninja Turtles, but script issues (and just a dose of Internet venom) delayed the film and changed some key elements. One of…

I think it's safe to say that the casting of the Michael Bay-produced Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot has met with less than glowing response so far. Megan Fox has been cast as April O'Neil, and Alan Ritchson, Pete Ploszek, Jeremy Howard and Noel Fisher are announced as the physical actors who will mo-cap the…

Though Leonardo is generally considered the leader of the gang, Raphael was the first Turtle cast last week when The Hunger Games: Catching Fire actor Alan Ritchson boarded director Jonathan Liebesman and producer Michael Bay's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot last week. But apparently the rest of the group weren't too far behind. Pete Ploszek,…

Paramount's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot has was met with suspicion from the get-go, and every move has just seemed to irritate fans more. The latest debacle was the casting of producer Michael Bay's one-time nemesis Megan Fox as April O'Neil -- not really the best way to convince audiences that TMNT wouldn't just be a…

Last summer, we got word that Paramount's Michael Bay-produced, Jonathan Liebesman-directed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot had been delayed by a whole six months to retool the script, perhaps in reaction to some of the fan outrage over changes to the turtles' origin story. Now it's being pushed back yet again, though not by nearly…

We won't actually see the Michael Bay-produced Ninja Turtles until 2014 or so, but in the meantime Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles co-creator Kevin Eastman is keeping the hype machine rolling by naming all sorts of other movies that Ninja Turtles will be like. Among the titles he's previously name-checked are The Raid: Redemption, Fist of Legend,…

And you thought the title was an issue. Months after controversy surrounded the Platinum Dunes remake of Ninja Turtles, sans the Teenage Mutant, Paramount has just put the film on hold, delaying its December 2013 release day until at least May 2014. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the issue is, what else? The script. Does…

I'm beginning to think that Michael Bay and his cohorts at Platinum Dunes are brilliant marketers. We're more than a year away from the release of the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film that Bay and Dunes are producing, with Jonathan Liebesman (Wrath of the Titans) directing, and there have been headlines about the project…

Controversy errupted when Michael Bay made a small comment about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles live-action reboot he is producing. Bay mentioned that the Turtles in his movie are "from an alien race" which is a big change from the mythology we've come to know from the comics, cartoons, and movies released thus far. Bay…

At the start of this week, Michael Bay pissed off Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles lovers everywhere by revealing that the new Turtles film, which he's producing, will see the central characters reimagined as aliens rather than mutants. Predictably, a firestorm ensued, and even more predictably, Bay responded to the the outrage by stating that "fans…

Briefly: Yesterday a quote from Michael Bay surfaced in which the producer/director said that the Platinum Dunes Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, produced by Bay and to be directed by Jonathan Liebesman, would feature characters that are "from an alien race." Fans of the property flipped out a bit, but at the time Bay hadn't taken…

I'll say this for Jonathan Liebesman's Clash of the Titans sequel Wrath of the Titans: the movie really doesn't look to skimp on the creatures and mythical monsters. Not only that, but it gives the returning Sam Worthington a haircut that is really worthy of the legacy of Harry Hamlin's style from the 1981 Clash…
