Now ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ posters, trailer linked to social media rollout
Tuesday Paramount unveiled new posters and a new trailer for their Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot after a YouTube video released Monday encouraged fans to tweet the name of the favorite turtle to unlock a new poster. Megan Fox, tons of new action footage and a battle between Shredder and Splinter are all part of the new trailer.
Turtlereveal.com hosted the chance to tweet your vote for which of the four character posters they want to see next by hashtagging #TeamLeonardo, #TeamMichelangelo, #TeamRaphael or #TeamDonatello.
The posters give fans a full look at each turtle and all four are highlighted in the trailer’s action sequences. One thing that is also squashed is the pesky “alien” rumors:
“So they’re aliens?” asks Will Arnett as Vernon Fenwick. “No,” April says. “That’s stupid.”
Shredder (William Fichtner) may not be in the suit or as in the suit as long as originally thought after seeing this clip. Obviously the film has a darker edge that the classic films of the 1990’s but the fun seems to still be there…as does the lectures from their Master Splinter.
The TMNT comic book series has launched four separate television series, eight video game adaptations, countless action figures and toys, and now its on its fifth movie.
Not everyone is a fan of the new look turtles: “…aren’t turtles supposed to have textural contrast? Hard smooth shell, with soft skin underneath? New Raphael looks like he’s made entirely of burlap,” writes Film Drunk.
TMNT stars Megan Fox, William Fichtner, Will Arnett, Alan Ritchson, Pete Ploszek, Jeremy Howard, Danny Woodburn, Mos Def, Noel Fisher, Johnny Knoxville and Tony Shalhoub.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles opens August 8th.
Here’s the synopsis for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles:
The city needs heroes. Darkness has settled over New York City as Shredder and his evil Foot Clan have an iron grip on everything from the police to the politicians. The future is grim until four unlikely outcast brothers rise from the sewers and discover their destiny as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The Turtles must work with fearless reporter April and her wise-cracking cameraman Vern Fenwick to save the city and unravel Shredder’s diabolical plan.
