Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Trailer Unveils Shredder
The latest trailer for the big screen live action reboot of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has revealed a lot more of what fans can expect. Unfortunately producer Michael Bay seems to have once again relied upon a tried and tested combination of overly enthusiastic one liners, explosions and Megan Fox’s vacant expression.
In particular the latest trailer give a first look at William Fitchner in his villainous Shredder armor. As you may have predicted it essentially looks like Edward Scissorhands and a Transformer had an ill-advised love child. See for yourself below:
Red Carpet News spoke to William Fitchner a while back about taking on the iconic character and mixed reactions from fans to the direction Michael Bay’s was taking with the franchise.

Company Demands Transformers 4 Edits
The Chinese owners of Pangu Plaza complex, a location featured in Transformers Age of Extinction are reportedly demanding that Paramount halts release of the film and make significant edits to remove any images of their properties and logos.
The demand comes in response to a dispute about a $1.6 million sponsorship deal. The Company had paid Paramount to ensure the giant dragon shaped hotel/retail complex would be featured prominently in the marketing of the film. Believing that paramount failed to honor that commitment the company is now retaliating with the demands.
It’s unwelcome news on the back of the film’s recent premieres in Hong Kong and Beijing, though ultimately unlikely to halt the film’s ongoing global promotions campaign.
Rian Johnson Directs Star Wars Episode 8 & 9
Looper and Brick Director Rian Johnson will apparently take over from J.J. Abrams to write and direct the next two chapters of Dinsey’s new Star Wars Trilogy. The acclaimed director will reportedly be taking responsibility for both Episodes VIII and XI.
The news was seemingly confirmed in the most amusing and subtle way by Johnson tweeting the below video clip of Scott Glenn in The Right Stuff. Fans will no doubt share the sentiment…
Johnson’s appointment will likely be welcomed by fans familiar with his previous work. Looper was an intelligent, original and brooding sci-fi blockbuster. He directed several episodes of the outstanding Breaking Bad and made an undeniably astonishingly accomplished debut with high school film noir homage Brick.
Johnson’s appointment also gives some indication that the new Star Wars saga will have perhaps a more mature and somber tone in-keeping with the finest traditions of Empire Strikes Back. Already hinted by the return of script writer Lawrence Kasdan. May the force be with them all.
