Official Movie Interviews
 
THought this might be a good thread to keep the Trailers/PIc other marketing separate,

Megan fox Interview


http://www.mtv.com/videos/movies/105...a-turtle.jhtml

TigerClaw 06-09-2014 07:08 AM

Cool, I Think this would be a good thread for all Interviews with the stars from the movie, So we can expect close to release date, Stars like Megan Fox to appear on the Tonight Show or any Talk Show promoting the movie.

DAMMIT SAM you ALWAYS beat me to it :lol: You the man dude, thanks for posting, on both sites :smile:

Edit: Well for the ten thousand kids that said they are writing off the movie strictly bc April won't be a "Red head" can rest easy now and give the movie a chance
I also take Wills little comments as " yes.. there will be Krang" seriously that guy could just stand there silent and still be funny :lol: Gonna add a great element to the movie.
Hell....Yea :D


Lots of emo cons this time lol

Radical Raph 06-09-2014 08:34 AM

It's funny but the ninja turtle faces are probably more capable of expression than Megan's.

Arnett seems like the perfect Vernon.

MastahShredder 06-09-2014 08:47 AM

I've come to really like Megan after stuff like this. She seems genuine and looks like she has put a lot of effort into April.

She does... she's a person. The more I see her in interviews the more I like her. This isn't an "eye candy" role.. so this is her chance to show the world what she can do. I think shell do fine ; )

Megan fox Interview


http://www.mtv.com/videos/movies/105...a-turtle.jhtml

fun interview, nothing earth shattering, but its great just to hear from the cast. i wonder if we'll see any more that feature the mo-cap cast, but that may be a delicate situation seeing as how two of the principal cg characters voice actors got replaced.

i can only imagine how awkward it would be to broadcast a interview with Pete Ploszek, and he talks about his process of bringing Leo to life, not knowing a few months from the time of the interview he would be replaced.

I do appreciate the fact that she's a fan. And it doesn't seem like she's just saying that either. I'm definitely willing to give her a chance.

sethmartin 06-09-2014 09:31 AM

I think Will Arnett pretty much just confirmed an appearance by Krang! :lol:

You know, I'm glad that things like Krang and some of the crazier concepts seem like they could be totally plausible in this new turtles universe. I really appreciate the tone they've set up so far. It's just realistic enough without having to exclude all the other fantasy elements.

They could have easily went the Nolan Batman route with this movie, but they didn't. It seems to be embracing what most people love about the franchise.

Right? I laughed when I saw him give the interviewer that look after saying he can't talk about it. Seems like the perfect choice for a Vernon. I cant believe in less than two months I'm going to possibly see a Live Action Krang.

zodiac brave 06-09-2014 09:54 AM

nice...it IS good to have a glimpse at the leads and hear some of what they have to say. i'll watch will arnett in anything but i'm still a little leary about fox.

i could give a crap about her personally and yeah, i think she's pretty, but i truly am a little concerned about what her performance might yield. i really dont think she's ever impressed me in the slightest as an actor.

i know a lot of people think she was really good in this is 40 and sometimes point that out as a career performance high, but i dont see it. she kinda came off as wooden and forced, but whatev.

hopefully, shes decent enough in this! :D

lol. emphasis on the POSSIBLY! if they do bring in krang (and i do think that would be dope), i have a feeling it'll be more easter egg-ish, or hint-like that would maybe set him/them up as a future plot point in whatever possible sequels may or may not arise.

oops! sorry bout the double-post...fixed it!

Has there been interviews with the four guys that play the turtles?

I believe her. She's about that age where the OT was in it's prime and the original film was released. I don't think she is a die-hard but at least she respects, and tries her best to make the character work.

MastahShredder 06-09-2014 10:15 AM

Spoiler:
Why do you guys think the tower from the building falling apart, all the police, the people running like there is something huge in the middle of Times Square..I bet the ground starts to shake and hello Technodrome. Now that would be awesome.

Agreed man.. id be satisfied even if it were an after credit reveal lol.

Edit for Sewer. I always thought that Tower falling was the Foot/Shredder cutting channel six's ability to broadcast news to the city. Like maybe taking them off the air and enforcing some kind of control over the city. Like Martial law in a way

True... and she waaaaass using her cell phone in the trailer to record what was happening in the subway. Hmmm... I hope it is the Technodrome... Id def. welcome that outcome

graphic_content 06-09-2014 11:32 AM

i think its funny that when asked about how much time would be spent in the sewers...WILL ARNETT responded by saying, [there is time in the sewers, time in the lair] :lol: if they lair is in the sewers, arent they one and the same locale, essentially?

i am attempting to scour the internet for more interviews, but everything recent featuring Will Arnett, and co. have been for other projects, ie. the Lego movie.

i could not be more stoked for this film, and i am foaming at the mouth for more stuff. namely footage, but i love me a good interview too.

I guess it's been confirmed that they live in China town.. Like in the comics.
Maybe there are different compartments/tunnels of the sewers shown in the movie.
Yea it was a great interview I agree. It made me want to watch some Will Arnett stuff.
I think this month and next month well get more interviews. Cant wait either :D

check out his interview with Jimmy Kimmel re: the Lego Movie...Arnett, is hilarious. no turtle talk, but still a great watch.

ranger_scout 06-09-2014 01:09 PM

Here is Noel Fisher talking about the film back in March of this year. The discussion about the film begins at two different points 0:52 and 1:26. The talk ends at 2:02.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGrV65iOs0k

TMZ talked to Johnny Knoxville back in April about the former Megan Fox & Michael Bay feud.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iv2kQEQbwog

I'm sure most of you say this, but here is Alan Ritchson being interviewed about the film back in April 2013 for those who did not see it.

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hea...-mutant-439723

And finally here are William Fichtner's interviews about the film back in 2013.

I personally would recommend looking at William's interviews again, knowing what we know now. You can sort of piece it together a bit.

They were obviously from back in 2013, so I added that information. I posted them for new users who had never seen them before.

Leolead 06-09-2014 02:17 PM

Really wonder why there hasn't been any interviews with the guys playing the turtles? the main characters.:-?

Yes, it's strange that there have been more interviews with Fox, Arnett, and Fichtner and so far I've only found two interviews with two of the actors who play the turtles, Alan Ritchson (Raphael) and Noel Fisher (Michelangelo), where they actually talk about the film. Johnny Knoxville's interview was only about the former Bay & Fox feud.

And here's another interview with Arnett where also talks about The Lego Movie.

I didn't mean it as a slight. I liked that you posted them. I said I recommend everyone to listen to William's interview knowing what we know today, that we did not when it was first released. There is a few pieces to the Shredder puzzle in them.

Because Michael Bay doesn't care about non-human main characters, just look at Transformers!

Fox, Arnett, and Finchtner all have larger careers than the guys playing the turtles. They work more, therefore do more interviews.

Because no one is actually being interviewed about TMNT yet.

Fichtner, Fox and Arnett just get these stray questions thrown at them while they're doing press for other projects. The same thing happens to the Fisher and Ritchson, you just don't see it because their projects are smaller, and their interviews don't get attention.

Here is an interview Ritchson did back in November 2013 around the time The Hunger Games: Catching Fire was released.

http://www.movieweb.com/news/alan-ri...-ninja-turtles

pennydreadful 06-09-2014 08:56 PM

Well, to Fox's credit, she came across as much more personable in that interview than in any role I've seen her in. And I must admit that as April never had red hair in the original comics, getting worked up over Fox's hair not really looking red was always a bit of a bridge too far for me.

That said, I can only cut her minimal slack for being a fan - I mean, it's nice when actors are fans of franchises that they get to work on, but in this particular instance, it just doesn't cut it. I'm a fan - but that doesn't mean that I'd be in any way appropriate for casting... and I think it's safe to say that I've got just as much acting talent as Fox (which is to say, I did drama in high school and I stank at it). I can't act... but I can wrinkle my forehead, so I think I'm ahead of the game.

Her acting ability (or lack thereof) and her apparent fondness for Botox aside, the number one thing that rubbed me the wrong way from the get-go about her being cast was that she was cast because of who she was, and the money she would make for the movie - not for what she would bring to the role. I know that it's a movie's job to make money, I know that. But casting Fox was just such a blatantly cynical attempt to replicate the asses-in-seats numbers that Transformers had.

And that right there is the issue. If I want to see a generic blockbuster with action and babes, there are dozens of them out every year. I like explosions and hot bodies on screen just as much as anybody. But for a live-action Turtles movie, I have much higher expectations. I don't want an action movie with Turtles - I want a Turtles movie with action. There's a distinction between the two.

I can only speculate as to whether other people's dissatisfaction with her casting is for those reasons - but by god, if she could take some of the charm that she had in that interview and inject it into her role in this movie, I'd be a lot further down the road to being won over.
