New behind-the-scenes and concept art images of Michael Bay's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have been revealed.
Several internet sources such as Firstshowing.net, Comic Book Movie, and Bleedingcool.com have posted these photos that featured the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Megan Fox as April O'Neil, Will Arnett as Vernon Fenwick, and a closer look of what Master Splinter and the Shredder would look like in the movie.
According to reports from Comic Book Movie, TMNT creator Peter Laird expressed his opinion on Michael Bay's take with the Ninja Turtles.
"The changes to the basic design of the Turtles seemed to me to fall into the "fixing what is not broken" category. It's altogether possible that, in the context of this new movie, these designs will work well and not seem so odd, but I still point to what Jim Henson's "Creature Shop" team did with their rendering of the Turtles in rubber and paint as the best translation (in live action, anyway) of the Turtles as Kevin Eastman and I created them."
He adds that;
"...one of the big problems (for me, anyway) with the new look created for the upcoming movie - with those noses and very expressive lips, their faces look too human. Perhaps it is just my own personal preference, but the "noseless beak" look for the Turtles which Kevin and I used in all of our comics, and in pretty much all of the licensed material during the Mirage days (and which was really there from the very beginning, when Kevin drew that first "ninja turtle") is, in my opinion, a great way to immediately show that these guys are not human - they're mutated reptiles. Creatures."
So far, Paramount Pictures had already released two trailers of the movie, a little spoiler that hints Master Splinter is April O'Neil's biological father and an official IMAX poster of the movie.
TMNT movie will be released on cinemas o August 8, 2014 and it stars Megan Fox, Johnny Knoxville, Pet Ploszek, Noel Fisher, Jeremy Howard, Alan Ritchson, Danny Woodburn, Tony Shalhoub, William Fichtner, Will Arnett, Minae Noji, Whoopi Goldberg, and Abby Elliot.
