Awesome, except I have no martial arts skills, I’m probably too old and I don’t live anywhere near L.A. But hey, this does confirm that the Foot Clan will be in the movie!
If you remember from an earlier post in April, TMNT co-creator Peter Laird talked about how he wants the new movie to be an origins story which would combine computer effects with practical effects to create the Ninja Turtles and remain true to the spirit of the original comics.
