Paramount’s attempt to get the TMNT franchise up and running again is certainly admirable and there’s obviously a lot you can do no compared to the 1990 films in terms of CG versus animatronics, and it’s at least not a kiddified all CG movie with bright colors. We’ve got a look at the teaser that made its way out this morning and the just released full teaser trailer that clocks in at 90 seconds and gives us a look at the Turtles in a clear way.
Directed by Jonathan Liebesman and produced by Michael Bay, it’s due out on August 8th and stars Megan Fox, William Fichtner, Will Arnett, Alan Ritchson, Pete Ploszek, Jeremy Howard, Danny Woodburn, and Noel Fisher.
Plot concept: 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.
