Undoubtedly the coolest of the Turtles, Raphael has been cast for Michael Bay’s Ninja Turtles film. The man given the task of wielding the virtual sais is Alan Ritchson (The Hunger Games: Catching Fire and Aquaman in Smallville).

Deadline reports that Ritchson will apparently play the role using motion capture. He will be starring opposite Megan Fox, who will be the film’s April O’Neil.

Produced by Michael Bay and directed by Jonathan Liebesman, Ninja Turtles will be released on 6th June, 2014.

Man At Arms Builds Raphael’s Sais

If you aren’t familiar with Tony Swatton, you might want to change that if you’re interested in some of Geekdom’s most iconic weapons. From Finn’s (Adventure Time) Golden Sword to Oddjob’s (James Bond) hat, the master swordsmith has actually crafted some cool weapons.

This time, he decides to tackle Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Raphael’s famous sais. And the end result is definitely awesome. Check it out.

Since fans hearts sank at the news of a Michael Bay produced Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film, not to mention the subsequent renaming to Ninja Turtles and the changing of the origins -– the characters will be an alien race –- there’s been little to no news on the project.

Fear not, true believers, for the guys over at Production Weekly have taken to Twitter to give a brief update on where the film is currently at.

Nickelodeon Releases A Second “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” Trailer

After revealing more details about this upcoming series at Comic Con last weekend, Nickelodeon has released another trailer for their new show, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

The series, which is going to premiere on September 29th on Nickelodeon, will be featuring slight changes from the old school 90s series and the fan favorite 2003 series.

Other than changing the animation style to CGI, the turtles will be featuring a wider array of weapons and fighting styles, including having both Donatello and Michelangelo wield bladed weapons as opposed to their blunt ones.

As a fan of the ridiculous, slapstick-filled 90s series and the more serious, action-oriented 2003 series, I am a bit skeptical about Nickelodeon taking the reigns of this childhood favorite. But I am hoping they will mix the good parts of both former shows and create a great new show!

Michael Bay To “TMNT” Fans: “Take a breath, and chill.”

[via

I’m sure that if you are a long-term fan of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles the recent suggestion from Michael Bay that his film reboot will see the heroes have extraterrestrial origins, rather than being mutants has somewhat alarmed a lot of the fan base.

Well chill out, people. Bay’s words, not mine.
