The TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES movie’s US release is almost upon us. August 8th will see the ninja teens try and take the top spot at the box office. They will face stiff competition though from previous week’s film release and almost certain box-office gold, GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY. Whomever comes out on top it is the British who will truly lose out (should the film be good of course), as although half the world get the film with in line with the States, we have to stand around twiddling our thumbs until October.
To reward our patience (us Brits are good at waiting), a new one-sheet poster has materialised. The image features the whole quartet with their game faces on as they fall/leap from a sky-scrapping building with an impressively large explosion in the background.
The film stars one of the more prolific ‘that’ guys William Fichtner as the turtle’s villainous foe The Shredder. Megan Fox (who is now back on good terms with producer Michael Bay) taking the role every little girl wanted to be, TV journalist April O’Neal.
Just how good the film will be remains to be seen. Considering the release is just around the corner for America we are surprised that there hasn’t been more advertising coverage. Yes we’ve had plenty of posters, static and moving, but film clips and trailers themselves have been rather scarce. Each trailer has on the whole stuck to the same stock footage with maybe the odd additional glimpse of something new. This means one of two things; the film is either really bad and they don’t want us to know, or to show us anything more would be too spoilerific to the plot.
We’ll wait with baited breath until we eventually get to see it when it’s released on the 17th October.

Oh dear Neal Scanner I bet you’re one of the pathetic 40 year old virgins who are saying that Bay is raping your childhood because the movie certainly doesn’t look awful.
