Then it was the turn of Megan Fox to make an intro via taped message. Her recording showcased Paramount’s third 3D summer tentpole: the reboot of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, also produced by Bay.

The studio aired footage from the film that showed the moment when Fox first meets the mutant ninjas in person. The movie will premiere later this summer.

They showed a scene when April meets the Turtles for the first time.

I bet April's meeting the Turtles in person gotta be that Mask scene, She on the rooftop and meeting Leo, And then Mikey, And probably Donnie and Raph.

I hope whoever saw it, Post a detailed description of the scene.

The marketing for this film is just stunning.

And not in a good way.

I have never seen a studio display such a vast amount of laziness and apathy for a film in my life.

Also, yeah, the turtles are way too big to fit down one of those manholes. So assuming the turtles go to the surface via manhole, that means we've figured out a plot hole for the film months before it even came out.

And exactly how have you determined they can't fit down a manhole? I've personally been down quite a few, in my line of work, and based on what I've seen they would have no problem going down one.

[pdizzle]

Jesus....where are these damn trailers....the emercency brodcast......set photos...real interviews, any damn thing!!!! What is going on with their marketing.....please, release something TODAY!!!!!!!!

[UGHShellshocked]

This marketing team is pandering to the Convention crowd when the fanbase who they really should be paying attention to gets pictures of manhole covers, leaked trailers with a giant's head in the middle of it and paint swatches.

[sh3llshocked]

Let's just hope TF4 will finally kick off some real marketing...

The turtles are just too big to easily fit down one.

It translates to "A Ninja hides in plain sight". And the text that comes with the photo reads "We have to be discreet... Even in victory"

A Ninja hides in plain sight? No they don't. Especially not in that photo.
