Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Easy on the Teenage, But With Extra Mutant
 |
?Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is one of those properties that gets rebooted all the time, so it’s easy to lose track of what’s going in. Apparently there’s going to be another live-action TMNT movie in 2011 — in the sense that the Turtles’ heads will be CG and the the rest will be actors in suits. I’d totally forgotten. But Latino Review found a pic of what the Turtles may look like the film; you know I hate rumors, but this is one of those times that I hope the rumor is true and thus and publishing it anyways. It’s after the jump.

?I know, right? It’s totally freaky, but in a good way. I mean, it actually looks kind of like a turtle, which is blowing my mind. But for some reason, I can’t get over the eyemask — the torn fabric, the bandage like quality of it — it looks like something a mutant turtle living in a sewer could conceivably make, which I hope to god is the most insane sentence I type all day. Anyways, here’s hoping this is real and not total bullshit. (Via Gamma Squad)
