by Shawn Madden

Just last week we learned that actor Alan Ritchson had been cast in Paramount’s upcoming  reboot of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise. The film, which will be produced by Michael Bay (Transformers) and directed by Jonathan Liebesman (Wrath Of The Titans), has now cast the remaining turtles as well.

Pete Ploszek (Parks And Recreation) has been cast as Leonardo, Jeremy Howard (Galaxy Quest) as Donatello, and Noel Fisher (Battle: Los Angeles) as Michaelangelo. These three will join Ritchson and Megan Fox in the upcoming film, which is also looking to cast it’s Shredder very soon as well. Too bad Ken Watanbe is currently busy with Legendary’s Godzilla at the moment. Unlike the original films, this new one will bring the turtles to life via motion capture rather than body suits. Production is set to begin on the film next month, so expect to learn the remainder of the cast very soon.

Casting is currently on Paramount and Platinum Dunes upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Not long ago we had learned that Megan Fox has joined the cast of the Jonathon Liebesman directed live-action/CGI reboot of the franchise as April O’Neil and now they’ve begun casting the film’s turtles. Alan Ritchson, who will be appearing in the upcoming The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, has been cast as the film’s Raphael.

 

Unlike the original film series, which saw actors in bulky suits, we’ll see the turtles brought to life via motion capture technology. Filming is set to begin next month, so we should expect to hear about the rest of the cast very soon.

Michael Bay & Jonathon Liebesman’s ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ To Begin Filming In April

by Shawn Madden

We’ve heard plenty of stories about the liberties being taken with Michael Bay (Transformers) & Jonathon Liebesman’s (Battle: Los Angeles) upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film. While we don’t know if all of these stories are true or not, being that Bay has stated that the script that leaked is not the one being used for the film, what we do know now is that the film will be principal photography this April in New York.

 

 

With this now being revealed, expect some casting news regarding the film very soon. Also, could this confirm that the film will actually be called Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and not just Ninja Turtles like it was rumored to be called? More details regarding the film should definitely be expected over the next few months.

 

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or Ninja Turtles will hit theaters on May 16th, 2014.
