New version of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" trailer is here

As you guys are well aware I am a huge fan of TMNT and part of me is insanely excited while the other part is insanely nervous. In this new trailer for the upcoming movie we finally get to see all four of the Turtles and a first look at Shredder too.

Finally it's here "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" trailer!!!

So here it is, finally we get to see a trailer for the highly anticipated reboot "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles". You guys will know I am a HUGE fan of TMNT, have been for as long as I can remember so I was beyond excited when I seen this was online. Safe to say I am still on the fence about it, will always think Fichtner and Fox are awful casting decisions, plus I am not sure about the whole "created" route they seem to be taking feels like an extremely cheap way to tie the characters together. Check it out below an let me know what you think.

"Ninja Turtles" poster gives us a new look at the Turtles!

Last night a new teaser poster titled "Ninja Turtles" made its way online, the poster debuted on Reddit which proves all the recent talk and image leaks of the Turtles are correct. The poster shows off Leo's bamboo armour, Raph's sunglasses, Mich's puka shell necklace and Donnie's scientific looking goggles/glasses. I like how they aren't all identical they have their own look, not just their accessories.

A HUGE thing that jumps out on the poster, is the top right "Ninja Turtles"which you guys will remember was Bay rumoured new title for the film when they planned on making the Turtles more alien opposed to mutant. Now it looks like this rumours is confirmed, again, let's hope that they will still avoid the alien approach.

A few people have been complaining that they have "human lips", my guess is so that when we see them speaking on screen it will have a more natural looking aesthetic opposed to how The Muppets look when they talk. Plus people have also said that the Halloween costume design looked too childish, I hope this poster puts that mind frame to bed, this poster and the other on set mock-ups clearly show a more dark/adult version of the Turtles that we are not used too.

Finally we see the Turtles??? Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles update

Is it true, FINALLY get to see Michael Bays depiction of our beloved Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? I can not say with 100% certainty that these pictures are real, however I would bet anything on that these pictures are legitimate. It is safe to say, that I am surprisingly happy with how these guys look!

Along with the pictures of how the Turtles are going to look, we have our first look at the main antagonist Shredder played by William Fichtner and I will say he looks VERY evil and bad ass! Check out the pics below and let me know what you guys think.

"Safehouse" screenwriter David Guggenheim targeted for "Bad Boys III"

It has been a long while since we had any update on the status in another instalment in the "Bad Boys" franchise. Today that all changes, as Deadline are reporting that Sony Pictures are looking into "Safe House"'s David Guggenheim to provide the screenplay.

Even though the Jerry Bruckheimer is planning on reprising his producing role, "Bad Boys" and "Bad Boys II" helmer Michael Bay is not currently involved with the sequel.

First look at Optimus Prime!!!

Over the past couple of weeks we have seen a few set videos of Michael Bays "Transformers 4: Age Of Extinction" and now thanks to Empire Magazine we have our first look at the big man himself Optimus Prime!

Video from the set of "Transformers: Age Of Extinction"

Entertainment Today recently visited the Detroit set of Michael Bays fourth instalment in the Transformers franchise "Transformers: Age Of Extinction" and they have brought us a video check it out below.

Is it just me or is watching these videos some what magical? I realise how dumb that sounds, but come on they converted 4 blocks of Detroit to look like Hong Kong. The magic of movies still baffles me to this day and I am 23 an been watching movies since I was like a toddler.

"Transformers 4" has a title and teaser

I ask this question EVERY time something new comes along, does anybody actually want this? I can't seem to find a single person who says they do. However news is news in this world so here it is, the film is going to be called "Transformers: Age Of Extinction" and there is a huge rumour (not sure if it has been confirmed now) that the film will see Dinobots hitting the big screen, that on the other hand sounds very intriguing.

Newest "Tranformers 4" picture

So here we have another look at a vehicle from the upcoming Michael Bay "Transformers" instalment, here we see "The Hound". He looks like he is set out to cause some drastic damage, watch your back baddies.

"Tranformers 4" new pictures

Michael Bay and Paramount have been trying their hardest to keep information on the upcoming Transformers film under wraps. Today Paramount have released a few new images showcasing some of the autobots and their new look. The cars have to look top standard or they just don't look good as Transformers in my opinion, saying that I really don't like the look of Optimus there is just something that doesn't look right. However Bumblebee looks bad ass as hell, I did love him when he was a Camaro but this looks better.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot update

So here we go, we have a lot of pictures coming your way including pre CGI pictures of the Turtles themselves, a look at Fox as April plus maybe Will Arnett's character revealed? Some of you might see this as a SPOILER if so I advised leaving the page now, if not scroll down. We have also seen that the incredible actor William Fitchner has been cast in a pretty iconic role, he is set to play a character described as "iconic stature" no other information than that. From what I know an remember from the Comics and Cartoon is that a character like that can be the one and only Shredder!

So here we go, here are a few pictures of the Turtles pre-CGI. They are a little hard to look at if you love the Turtles but let's keep our hopes up an see if Bay makes these look good.

 The Turtles are looking pretty weird in the pictures, but they still look kinda cool. So here it is, have SuperheroHype worked out who that Will Arnett is going to be playing Vernon Fenwick, Aprils cameraman!?

Also we have got some set photos that show off Megan Fox as April, a casting decision I still can't accept she just isn't good enough for me.

"Transformers 4" will film in China

In addition to being filmed in Michigan and Chicago it looks like "Transformers 4" will be jumping the boat to China.

Paramount Pictures, China Movie Channel and Jiaflix Enterprises announced today that they have entered into a Cooperation Agreement regarding the production of “Transformers 4” in China. The Cooperation Agreement was signed on April 1, 2013 in Beijing and Los Angeles.

Pursuant to the agreement, China Movie Channel, under the State Administration of Radio Film and Television (SARFT), will cooperate with Paramount in broad-based support of the production of the film in China. “Transformers 4” is expected to be released in China on or about June 27, 2014. The parties also intend to cooperate in a number of other areas related to “Transformers 4,” including the selection of filming sites within China, theatrical promotion, and possible post-production activities in China as well as casting of Chinese actors and actresses in the film.

This agreement represents the first time that China Movie Channel will work with a western studio in the production of a major motion picture.

The unprecedented agreement followed a meeting with Mr. Tong Gang, Vice Minister of SARFT with the Transformers 4 production leaders including director Michael Bay, producer Lorenzo DiBonaventura and Paramount Vice Chairman Rob Moore, along with Jiaflix Chairman Sid Ganis and President Marc Ganis at SARFT’s official Reception Hall in Beijing. Minister Tong expressed support for the newly formed China Movie Channel/Jiaflix cooperation with Paramount.

The “Transformers” movies are among the most popular films ever released in China, and Michael Bay is among the most popular directors with Chinese audiences. Transformers 3, Dark of the Moon, released theatrically in 2011, grossed $165 million in China and over $1.1 billion worldwide.

“I’m proud and honored by how ‘Transformers’ has been embraced by Chinese audiences,” said Michael Bay. “I look forward to working with China Movie Channel and Jiaflix Enterprises to help reach more people here and deepen their passion for this ongoing story and its characters.”

“China Movie Channel and our official movie web site M1905.com have been long term trusted partners with Jiaflix,” said Yan Xiaoming, Chairman of China Movie Channel. “We have been working together in the field of importing Hollywood movies for Chinese television and internet, including Paramount movies, as well as introducing Chinese movies to the North American market and are very delighted with the results we have accomplished together.”

“This is the beginning of a new era of collaboration with the Hollywood studios,” Mr. Yan continued. “We are very confident that the China Movie Channel/Jiaflix cooperation with Paramount will result in the famous Transformers brand being an even bigger success.”

Jiaflix, through its partners, Sid Ganis, Marc Ganis and Kenneth Huang, was the driving force in bringing the new arrangement to fruition. Said Sid Ganis, Chairman of Jiaflix, “Paramount was the first major studio to officially join with us for the distribution of its films over the Jiaflix platform in China, so we are delighted to join our partners at China Movie Channel together with Paramount on this groundbreaking initiative. ‘Transformers 4’ are paving the way.” Jiaflix has recently entered into a long term agreement with Paramount, under which Paramount will supply more than 250 films a year to the new video streaming partnership between Jiaflix and M1905.com, a unit of China Movie Channel.

“We are excited by and grateful for the opportunity to work with China Movie Channel and Jiaflix Enterprises on the production and promotion of ‘Transformers 4,’” said Paramount Vice Chair Rob Moore. “We see this relationship as a reflection of the global power and appeal of both this unique franchise and Michael Bay’s talents as a filmmaker.”

Josh Duhamel in Transformers 4?

Michael Bay said a few weeks back that he was rebooting the whole human cast in his next Transformers film, however last week Josh Duhamel revealed that Michael Bay wants Duhamels character William Lennox to appear somehow.

"[Michael Bay] said he wants to put me in it someplace,"

"I don’t know if he was just saying that because he had me on the phone and he felt obligated or what, but you know what? I got to do three of those. It changed my career, it changed my life getting to be a part of something that big, so I’m grateful for even doing the first three of them."

Megan Fox joins "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" reboot

Rumours have been circulating for a few days now saying that production on the film will start this April, it now looks like the film has its first cast member. Michael Bay himself posted on his personal website  

"TMNT: We are bringing Megan Fox back into the family"

I found the news a little bit shocking if I'm honest, I thought she was kicked out of "Transformers" due to bad blood between her and Michael Bay. It seems like we we're all lied to, or maybe they have just put the past behind them an Bay has forgiven her.

Although Fox's role is unspecific right now, it is more than likely that she will play April O'Neil the reporter and friend to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Bay used the acronym "TMNT" does that mean he has dropped the title "Ninja Turtles"? He did get a lot of bad press from fans when he released information about the possible alien connection, has he had a change of heart an gone for a more "traditional" Turtles film? Let's all hope so!

"Transformers 4" update

Looks like "Transformers 4" has its teenage lead an that is upcoming American-Irish actor Jack Reynor, you're probably a lot like me in thinking who on earth is Jack Reynor? He doesn't really have a filmography you will have seen is my guess, but he is in upcoming film "What Richard Did" so we can all check out his acting ability in that, not that being cast in a Transformers film means you can act anyway.

"I just hired a great new actor for Transformers 4 to star against Mark Wahlberg. Jack Reynor, he is an Irish kid that came to America with 30 bucks in his pocket. Pretty ballsy. Seriously who does that? Anyway I spotted him in a great little Irish movie WHAT RICHARD DID. This kid is the real deal.

Transformers 4, is not a reboot. That word has been floating around on the net.
This movie takes place exactly 4 years after the war in Chicago. The story makes a very natural transition, and reason as to why we have a whole new cast. This Transformers will feel very different then the last three. We are embarking on a new trilogy.

Michael"

I do see that MB used the sentence "We are embarking on a new trilogy." this could be his way of dropping a hint about 3 more films about sheer nothing-ness but he is more than likely just saying that this film is set to leave its own mark on the movie world. 

"Transformers 4" in China?

Yeah that is the correct title, that's the big rumour circulating around of recent. The whole production of "Transformers 4" might take place in China for a number of reasons, the main one being cracking the Chinese market.

"Paramount wants the next Transformers movie to be either partially or fully shot in China, using famous Chinese landmarks as set-piece locations.
Why?  Because China is the fastest rising box office performer never before seen in an international market.  China is now only second behind Japan in the number of people who go and buy tickets for American blockbusters.  Fairly soon China is projected to surpass Japan as the number one foreign market in the world.
The problem is: the Chinese government is very picky when it comes to which American films get a theatrical release in their country.  Anything content-wise that comes close to disparaging China or conflicts with state values, the film will immediately be barred from Chinese theatres."

"Transformers 4" looking for a female lead?

Michael Bay is probably putting the finishing touches to his upcoming film "Pain & Gain" ready for its release next year, I recently learnt some information on the upcoming Transformers film. A new rumour is circulating that the next film is set to have a female lead in the place of Shia LaBeouf's Sam Witwicky.

"Spoiler TV said that’s not the case because TRANSFORMERS 4 is looking for an actress to play a female protagonist who’s a high school senior and also an actor to play her Texan race car drivin’ boyfriend."

We all know that Bay likes to have some "eye candy" in his films in the form of attractive co-stars, but now it looks like he is upping his game and giving the lead role to a female. I kind of like the idea of giving the lead to a female, it's different and different is what we need in Hollywood right now. The major concern is how high of a priority is acting on the list of what the actress needs, his past two female co-stars have been more chosen on their looks over their acting ability. I'm hope he aims for both looks and acting ability, can somebody say Emma Watson? Ha ha

Michael Bay talks "Transformers 4"

Michael Bay has took some time before "Transformers 4" goes into production to try out the Transformers The Ride 3D in Universal Studios Hollywood. He also leaked some details towards his approach for the next film with prospects of space travel for our favourite robots in disguise.

"It’s not a reboot, that’s maybe the wrong word. I don’t want to say reboot because then people will think we’re doing a Spider-Man and starting from the beginning. We’re not. We’re taking the story that you’ve seen — the story we’ve told in three movies already — and we’re taking it in a new direction. But we’re leaving those three as the history. It all still counts. I met with the writer before I went off to do ‘Pain and Gain’ and we talked about a bunch of ideas. We let that simmer for a bit. He’s been thinking about stuff and now we’re getting back together next week to see what we’ve got and to see if it gels… So does that mean Optimus Prime and the crew will be leaving Sam behind on Earth and venturing out into space? I think so, yeah, a little. That feels like the way to go, doesn’t it? I want to go a little off but I don’t want to go too sci-fi. I still want to keep it grounded. That’s what works in these movies, that’s what makes it accessible. Bay said the movie would have to be made for about $30 million less than Dark of the Moon (which Box Office Mojo has budgeted at $195 million so don’t expect it to be small) and that it would, once again, be his last: Here’s the thing, it’s tough to find someone who’s done these kind of movies and to have the complication of creating the new stuff that needs to be in this movie – not just characters but a new type of action, I hope – and that’s a lot for someone new to bite off. And so after this one I will leave it in the best hands possible. That’s the plan."
