Brand New Look at Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in Official Movie Posters

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are back in action in the movie theaters on Aug. 8 when the Michael Bay-produced movie of the same name hits the big screen. Fans have seen some footage and photos of the turtles thus far, and the characters appear again in some new posters for the movie.

The first poster features the four turtles side-by-side looking angry and ready for a fight, while the second poster indicates them each by name and is entirely in black and white except for their colored masks. Check them out here. And also be sure to check out some great looks at Splinter and Shredder here.

Megan Fox portrays April O'Neil in the movie. 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."

Of course, many fans were surprised that Fox joined the movie given her public arguments with Bay after the first two Transformers movies. But Fox spoke highly of him and it seems as though the two put that all behind them.

"He was one of the most lovely people that I dealt with in making this movie. I've always loved Michael. We've had our battles in the past but even when I've been really outspoken about difficulties we've had, I've always followed up by saying that I have a particular affinity to him," she said. "He can be very vulnerable, and he's very likeable and loveable. I've always been very vocal about that as well. But, sometimes we clash because we both have very willful, powerful personalities."

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."
