TMNT cast, crew, and fans gathered in Los Angeles yesterday for the red carpet premiere of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Here is a selection of photos and video taken at the event.


The best way to describe the look of the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is giant, galumping, green babies. Like the baby masks that costume shops sell on Halloween, only as turtles. Similar to these babies below — but with Voldemort's nose and very, very childlike eyes. It's very jarring, but kind of what we expected.
Both of these have involved campaigns and a big merchandising component, and it was thought the studio would be better off spacing the two toy-tied films further apart than the 19 days it was looking at in the original scheduling configuration. Of course, this puts TMNT just one week away from Marvel Studio’s next superhero franchise launch Guardians Of The Galaxy, which opens August 1.And yes, if you were paying attention last week, you'll recall that August 8 is my birthday! Woohoo!

The movie is mainly being shot in New York City, but Paramount went to the state to find a ski slope where it would be able to shoot part of the action, said village Mayor Paul Maroun.
Posted signs tell visitors to stay out of the Big Tupper Ski Area while a movie is being filmed there.
"They needed a ski resort that was closed," Maroun said. "Big Tupper fit it perfectly."Unfortunately, this news most likely means that the current working script is still based around the script that was leaked online last summer.

TMNT: we are bringing Megan Fox back into the family!Despite getting fired from the Transformers series between Transformers 2 and Transformers 3, it would seem that Bay has decided to give Fox another chance to be in one of his films. Of course, as of right now there is no official confirmation via Paramount, so we can only speculate as to what role she might be playing. But the obvious role in a TMNT story would be April O'Neil. It shouldn't be too long before we get confirmation on this and other casting decisions.
Principle photography on TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES, is scheduled to begin this April in New York.While no details are currently available, the above tweet showed up over the weekend, declaring that filming on the upcoming live action TMNT movie would begin in New York starting in April. Previously, the movie had been scheduled to film in Vancouver (before getting shut down back in June). It is likely that New York filming will consist of establishing shots, considering the lower cost of shooting a movie in Vancouver.
