Karai safely confirmed

NYShell · 03-31-2014, 07:29 PM

So I was just looking for TMNT tags on Instagram and I found Danny Woodburn's account and Minae Noji's account. They put "Splinter" and "Karai" in their hashtags.

I also found the stunt woman for Karai, and she confirmed that Karai was in the flick.

She was already confirmed when I leaked those Lego set pics at TF.

I don't understand how an Asian Woman could work for a white man like Eric Sachs.

This is 2014. Millions of Asian women work for hundreds of thousands of white men.

Uhhhh.......very easily?

Alright sorry. Links work now at the top.

I always appreciate little finds like this...almost a behind the scenes glimpse at the dynamic these actors have built during their time together which I hope translates well on screen.

I was pleasantly surprised to see Karai in the trailer, it was brief and she was being thrown into a wall, but cool just the same.

What? Dude, you really have a problem. Between this and what you said in the other thread, just stop.

What I mean is the Foot Clan is a Japanese organization of crime. Why would an organization dating back to ancient Japan (and in this movie we see Sachs looking at Japanese scrolls from the past), have a white man as their leader? A guy who has no Japanese ancestory at all?

I've never heard of a ninja clan having a crusty white man as their leader.

Yes to this. I'm an Asian man and my boss is a white woman. Stuff like this works all the time. No biggie.

Eric Sachs, The Shredder and The Foot Clan are an Equal Opportunity Employer.

Even though they work for the shredder, they can still be unaware of his alter ego "Eric Sachs."

I can't believe they cast Mickey from Seinfeld as Splinter.

I'm so excited for this movie, but I'm questioning why they cast him too. It's probably the weirdest casting for this film. Even more than Fichtner as Shredder. I feel like they did it just because of his size. I feel like they're aiming for just a short stumpy character. Not sure if he's gonna sound like a white dude instead of a Japanese man. Will he be a white man mutated into splinter as a rat? Or just providing mo cap and voice?

You are not alone there. I'm hoping he'll surprise me.

Both probably.

Minae Noji's voice isn't Asian sounding at all. She had a straight up American accent. Wondering now if she'll still be the leader of the Japanese faction of the Foot

I can't believe they cast that gay cowboy from Brokeback Mountain as The Joker! Oh wait, that turned out great. This one could be too.

Open your mind, actors are versatile.
