I'm looking forward to this. I hope its going to be like the Winter Soldier premier. Or better yet.. The Age of Extinction Premier in China.. That was insane. But I'm sure it wont be THAT big of a spectacle. I do agree that this should be in NYC. Kind of no brainer. Does anyone know if there is anything planned for NY?

Does anyone know if there is anything planned for NY?
Random guys dressed like Spongebob and Captain America are gonna harass the Times Square tourists and their kids into taking pictures with them without asking and then try and force them to pay $5-$10 after the fact.
Oh, you meant for the movie? No, I'unno, I haven't heard. I was just talking about what happens up there every day. :lol:

Yea.. I've seen that myself lol. NYC= most creative ways to rape your wallet.
So I guess L.A makes sense.

I assume we will start seeing press reviews after the premier is finished when the embargo is lifted, but I have a feeling i'll be asleep due to the time differences.
I'm actually getting quite nervous now.

Exactly... It's L.A so... there's a good chance the Turtles actors will attend. The crowd in Mexico was crazy! I'll bet the L.A crowd will be crazy as well :smile:
Does anyone know if this is going to be streamed online?

I was saying from near the beginning that I thought Donny looked the most TMNT to me. And you're right, his lack of glasses really hits it out of the park. I'm slowly warming up to Leo and Raph's faces (I'm still not crazy about Raph's huge appearance), but Mikey is still hideous to me, no matter what the lighting or angle is.

She is playing April's roommate.
Q: Can you say who Abby Elliott is playing?
Nemec: Probably. She plays April O'Neill's roommate.
http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=116409
Her character's name will be Taylor.
You’re going to be in ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’?
Yes.
I saw that you were, but I don’t know who you’re playing.
I play April’s roommate. It’s sort of a revamped Irma, but my name is Taylor. Yeah, so she’s like her best friend type character.

Well, there is no doubt that Knoxville is Leo's voice now. Not that there really ever was any....I guess it was always clear it was his voice from the trailers but I was kinda hoping from the lack of PR from Knoxville that it was BS and Ploszek would be Leo's voice. He just seemed perfect from his interviews.
Ah well, it is what it is.
Apparently, the reason he was replaced was there was not enough humour in his voice. It's Leonardo, he's supposed to be the serious one. Go figure...At least it's his emotions and physical work. He'll work again at least.
Regardless though, that would have been awkward as hell for both him and Woodburn.

I'm sure it was. But for the sake of their careers, it's kind of in their best interests to put that aside and put in their public appearances, even if they've got bitterness about how all that went down (and they really should have some bitterness, honestly - the way it was handled was lousy).
Just the business, y'know? It's not always pleasant.

I honestly don't think Bay had anything to do with her firing. He just never came across as that kind of person, easily offended, considering the crap he has to put up with angry internet fan boys. I'm pretty sure it was his boss's idea and decision on the Transformers movies!

According to IMDB, yes, he's one of the executive producers, and will be a major producer of the upcoming 5th movie as well.

Super happy to see all the guys there!
...Well Alan wearing a red shirt, and Jeremy has a purple tie so a couple of them are reppin'.
Jeremy's tie looked red at first, second look yea that could be purple. Anyone else think it would've been funny if they showed in their respective colors via dumb n dumber style tuxes w their eye masks? Just thought would've been funny and would of given the actual mo cap actors more attention, kind of annoyed at how Meagan and Will are the faces and voices of 99% of the promoting. Just another thought, what if they showed up in late 80s style kids pajamas, in adult sizes obviously. The ones that were almost like a Halloween costume. I used to have those, just thought that would've been funny as h*ll

He looks really good without the effing glasses. The clothing I can deal with too, it's not too bad.

Variety interviewed some of the cast and crew at the red carpet.
Pete Ploszek appears to hold no grudges against Knoxville replacing his voice in the film.
“I like to think with the two of us, we built the best Leo we could,” said Ploszek.
And here is what Libesman had to say about Fox, Arnett, and his direction.
Director Jonathan Liebesman said Arnett was a master comedian and described Fox as very brave and outspoken. “I’ve never seen a movie inspire so much talk back,” said Liebesman.
The director said that they used Fox’s outspoken nature in the character of April O’Neil. “That’s how she needed to be and I think she brought a hell of a lot of herself to that role and we benefited from it.”
A native of South Africa, Liebesman said his first memory of “TMNT” revolved around pizza. “Just the idea of eating pizza to me was a very American thing and we started eating a lot of pizza at school.” He hopes his fondness for the Turtles is reflected in the filmmaking. “I’m a fan first and foremost. I felt like what was important to fans was important to me. I wanted the cowabungas, the pizza, the characters to be exactly who they were,” he told Variety.
There's more quotes from Fisher, Arnett, and Howard in the link below.

So Bay has a purple tie. Does that mean Donny is his favorite?;)

I'll go ahead and post these quotes.
The turtle actors wore a unitard and shell on their backs, as well as face cameras and ping-pong balls for eyes. Noel Fisher, who plays Michelangelo, said talking with the surfer-dude dialect was fun. “I didn’t go full surfer dude with it, but I did want to add little bit of dude because, come on, he’s Mikey.”
It's nice to pay a little tribute to the past and current Michelangelo voice actors like Townsend Coleman, Robbie Rist, and Greg Cipes, who all brought that side to the chracter.
Jeremy Howard said that Donatello is the smart one of the group. “We were joking the other day, if someone had to pay the bills it’s gotta be Donatello. No one else is going to think about it,” he said. “Jonathan Liebesman was pushing me to be nerdier. Of course I wanted to bust out some dudes and cowabungas, but that was more Noel’s wheelhouse.”
Raphael gets to say it on his own in the movie too. Hopefully, Leonardo and Donatello will at least say with them together as a group.
Star Will Arnett said growing up it was his little brother who was more of a fan of the turtles. “I was like 18 and I was probably more worried about girls or something.”
But now the dad of two said he’s fully immersed in Turtle. “It kind of fell out of my consciousness, but a few months before I met with these guys about the movie my kids got super into the Nickelodeon show. So when I went to meet with them I was totally down. I’ve seen so many episodes of them and I was like, ‘Yea, the turtles, yea this makes sense to me’ and I was weirdly a fan.”
Arnett plays opposite Megan Fox as cameraman Vern Fenwick. The always funny comedian couldn’t leave the jokes alone when asked if he brought himself into the character.
“I left Will Arnett on the cutting room floor. No, this character looks so much like me physically…” he joked.
Indeed.

I do agree that this should be in NYC. Kind of no brainer. Does anyone know if there is anything planned for NY?
A New York premiere took place last night.
