Attention, 80s kids! Our first real look at this summer’s new live-action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie is now online in the first teaser for the film. Produced by Michael Bay and directed by Jonathan Liebesman, this film will be the first Ninja Turtles live-action movie to feature the title characters using CGI and motion-capture effects, and I have to say, it looks both quite realistic – and also kind of creepy. Judging from the teaser, however, it does look like they are definitely pushing for the dark and gritty feel of the original comics, while still capturing the light-hearted essence of the original cartoon and movies. Forgetting the live-action sequels of the 90s, the first film proved that this concept can work quite well. Let’s hope they finally pull it off again. Hit the jump to watch the teaser!
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, directed by Jonathan Liebesman and produced by Michael Bay, stars Megan Fox, William Fichtner, Alan Ritchson, Noel Fisher, Jeremy Howard, Pete Ploszek, Danny Woodburn, and Will Arnett. The film opens nationwide August 8th.
