Paramount has premiered the first trailer from the upcoming, Michael Bay-produced Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles remake, due in theaters on August 8. The question with this one is, will those that were already complaining about the film, before even seeing a stitch of footage, be appeased by what they see here?
Directed by Jonathan Liebesman (Wrath of the Titans), the film will feature the “heroes in a half-shell” on screen for the first time since 1993. In this live-action version, utilizing motion-capture technology a la Avatar and Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Leonardo will be played by Pete Ploszek, Donatello by Jeremy Howard, Noel Fisher will play Michaelangelo and Alan Ritchson will play Raphael with Megan Fox as journalist and friend of the Turtles, April O’Neil, Will Arnett as Vernon Fenwick and William Fichtner as The Shredder.
Check out the trailer below and let me know what you think and if this is something you can see yourself enjoying, Turtle fan or not.
