"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows" is the sequel to the 2014 hit film "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles." The film is based on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles characters created by Peter Laird and Kevin Eastman and is directed by David Green ("Earth to Echo"). Michael Bay (the "Transformers" franchise) returns to produce alongside his Platinum Dunes partners Brad Fuller and Andrew Form ("Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles"), with Galen Walker and Scott Mednick ("Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles") also producing.
T-U-R-T-L-E power is
back this Friday when Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows, the sequel to the 2014 reboot
of the TMNT film franchise, hits theaters. The likeably unlikely team of
crime-fighting mutants returns — with friends both old and new — to battle some
familiar faces and encounter newer, intergalactic threats.
We sat down to talk all
things “Turtles” with Out of the Shadows director Dave Green (Earth
to Echo) and stars Stephen Amell (Casey Jones), WIll Arnett (Vern Fenwick),
Stephen Farrelly (Rocksteady), Tyler Perry (Baxter Stockman), and Gary Anthony
Williams (Bebop). You can catch a super-cut of our interviews in the player
below.
While all remembered the
Turtles fondly, it was Green, Perry and Farrelly in particular who named
themselves personal fans of the comic books and cartoons that started it all.
We asked Stephen Amell
how he took on the role of hockey-masked vigilante Casey Jones, who fights
crime as a member of a team rather than its leader (as he does on his CW series Arrow),
while Will Arnett talked about exploring his character Vern Fenwick’s discomfort
with his new role as New York City’s savior.
Though there are a few
similarities to the 1992 film Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The
Secret of the Ooze, Paramount
Pictures’ Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows breaks
new ground in featuring Baxter Stockman’s first cinematic turn as a major
character, and the live-action film debut of cartoon favorites Bebop and
Rocksteady.
Perry confessed his
portrayal of Stockman was inspired by a real-life science hero, while Williams
and Farrelly joked about how far they’d go to understand the animal
counterparts to their on-screen characters Bebop and Rocksteady.
Michelangelo, Donatello,
Leonardo, and Raphael again take on their lethal nemesis Shredder (Brian Tee)
after he escapes police custody and joins forces with an even bigger villain:
the warlord from another dimension, Krang (voiced by Brad Garrett). They’ll
need the help of April O’Neil (Megan Fox), Vern Fenwick (Will Arnett), and
newcomer Casey Jones (Stephen Amell) to face off against Shredder, who drafts
scientist Baxter Stockman (Tyler Perry) and henchmen Bebop (Gary Anthony
Williams) and Rocksteady (Stephen Farrelly) to help him and Krang defeat the
Turtles and take over the world.
You can check out the
dimension-spanning, martial arts mutant mayhem when Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows opens nationwide on June 3.
