Production is now underway on the Platinum Dunes reboot of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (which will apparently have “Teenage Mutant” in the title after all) and some early photos have started to leak out from the set. They have given us our first look at Megan Fox as intrepid reporter April O’Neil. Although she is not wearing a yellow jumpsuit in any of the images, she does have a yellow leather jacket… sounds like the vision of TMNT that I always knew Michael Bay would have.

We also get a glimpse of Will Arnett in a couple of the photos, which seems to indicate that he is a co-worker or boss of April O’Neil at Channel 6 News. This week also brings news that William Fichtner has joined the cast of the movie in a lead role “with iconic stature in the Turtles’ mythology.” The general belief seems to be that he will be playing The Shredder, which coincides with the fact that he has been playing a lot of villains lately. Check out a handful of the set photos after the jump or see more over at The Daily Mail and Comic Book Movie.

    I’m sure it will be a movie that will appeal to all the bros I remember from college who hung around getting drunk out of party cups and hung TMNT crap on their doors to celebrate the childhood they never really left.

  • Matt K.

  • David

    It’s going to be hard for Megan Fox to emote with all that plastic surgery.

    I’ve been following the set photo updates and Megan Fox is fucking stunning. Looking better then ever there and since April O’Neill isn’t really a character that’s close to my heart, I think she’ll be fine.

    William Fichtner, my man, now his casting is glorious news. It can only be Shredder right?

  • BobTheAvenger!

    Cant wait to see Corey Feldman again!..its going to be Radical or Cowabunga!..?

  • El Ohroy

    Wow, she looks great as April. Boner status: 80% and rising.

  • Bryan

    I see Fichtner more as a Baxter Stockman type. Not sure he would pull off Shredder as much as I love the guy.

  • Matt Gamble

    She’s wearing a Chrome bag. Good for them, they deserve some recognition.
