Nickelodeon Movies and Paramount Pictures "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" film is a modern-day iteration of the popular franchise that has captivated audiences of all ages for decades. The Turtles must work with fearless reporter April O'Neil (Megan Fox) and her wise-cracking cameraman Vern Fenwick (Will Arnett) to save New York City and unravel Shredder's diabolical plan. Based on the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" characters created by Peter Laird and Kevin Eastman, written by Josh Appelbaum, André Nemec and Evan Daugherty, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" is produced by Michael Bay (director and executive producer of the blockbuster "Transformers" franchise), Andrew Form, Brad Fuller, Galen Walker, Scott Mednick and Ian Bryce and directed by Jonathan Liebesman ("Wrath of the Titans"). Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Movies' summer blockbuster film, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", will be released in Digital 3D and 2D in cinemas across the UK on Friday 17th October 2014.
In additional TMNT movie news,
Digital Spy caught up with stars Megan Fox and Will Arnett, along with original Turtles creator Kevin Eastman and writers Brad Fuller and Andrew Form, to discuss working on the Michael Bay-produced reboot, and the initial fan backlash. "We stayed true to who the Turtles are," said Arnett. "These four distinct characters and the way that they work together as a unit, the idea that they're a team, and they're family. That idea, at the core, we did not deviate from." Megan Fox and Will Arnett also reveal what fans can expect from the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" movie.
