Final Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Movie Trailer Debunks Shredder Identity
The final trailer for the Michael Bay-produced Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie has landed and features plenty of new footage of the Raphael, Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, April O'Neil and Splinter. But perhaps the most interesting portion of the trailer contains Shredder, the turtles' main adversary.
Numerous sites, including IMDB, report that William Fichtner plays Shredder in the reboot, but an intriguing sequence the trailer seems to debunk that idea. Check it out below:
In related news, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie Facebook page posted three photos of Megan Fox as April. The first shows Fox as April standing in the turtles' lair. The other two are promotional shots of Michelangelo and Donatello. Check out all three photos here.
In an interview with EW, the actress talked about her role and her relationship with Bay.
"I was really in love with them," Fox said when asked if she was a TMNT fan before getting the part. "I have an older sister that's 12 years older than me, so part of it initially was because I wanted to be like my big sister. But, it's a really cool project for me because it was a huge part of my childhood, and it's always been"
As for her take on April, the actress said, "She's more of a leader when she explores her relationship with the turtles instead of just the human companion that gets dragged along on the adventure. It's more representative of a modern woman."
Finally, Fox noted that even though this new Turtles movie changes April's yellow jumpsuit into a yellow leather jacket and skinny jeans, she will keep her clothes on for the duration of the film.
"I'm completely clothed for the entire movie," she said. "There's no gratuitous skin or sexual anything. Jonathan was really insistent on not wanting her to be sexualized or to take that sort of typical role we've seen women take in movies thus far, and that I've taken in particular."
