Looks like we both posted this news at the same time, Unfortunately, I cannot delete the thread.

Huh, I donno. I liked Noji, she just didn't have absolutely anything to work with.

I guess Noji was deemed too old, gods forbid a woman over 40 is in a movie.

I hope we get to see Karai actually fight, And not just bark orders.

[Vicky82]

Wow another recast, shame they didn't get someone to replace Megan Fox.

I never heard of Brittany Ishibashi, I have to look her up.

funnily enough, Brittany IRL is in her mid-30s, now granted she doesnt look it, but I'm curious to see how this goes given that Brian Tee, and her actually look like they could be a couple, or at least sibling....but he's her father.

Maybe the mutagen Shredder was exposed to in last film has reverse aging?

Same. Karai in other series stood toe to toe with Leonardo, his equal in both swordsmanship and hand to hand combat. I wanted to see that.

With all the villians making an appearance, plus the addition of Casey, I wonder how much screen time secondary villains like Karai will even get - I want to see her get treated well, but I would much rather the Turtles square off against Bebop and Rocksteady, than Karai, and more Foot.

I like her look. I guess if you recast Shredder 20 years younger, you gotta do the same for his daughter.

I'm willing to bet that, She will be the one barking orders to Bebop and Rocksteady, Like she does in the IDW comic.

Was that a double entendre, my good man?

[bushido]

It's confirmed that the sequel will be more of a soft reboot. It looks like they are ashamed of the first film. Can we blame them for that ? Probably not... I admit to being more and more intrigued now.

when you say 'confirmed'...as in quoted by the producers? director? or admission by 'casting changes, etc?'

while I agree, this certainly feels like a soft reboot, I just wanted to know if internal sources actually admitted to it.

She is hot, but I really can't get excited over this casting. Karai was so terribly underused in the first film I doubt they'll be able to do a better job this time.

Yes, Brittany is 34. I don't see the humor in that?

[Candy Kappa]

Was it ever stated in the movie that Karai was Shredder's daughter?

I know the game reveals it in a journal entry, but that game deviates from the movie story and kept Sacks as Shredder.

No it was just a compliment I'm more concerned about her performance

i meant funny as in ironic. the comment you made earlier alluded to the fact that the original actress may have been outed due to her age, and ironically Brittany herself isn't that much younger.

my apologies if my comment made it seem like I was poking fun at older women. certainly not my intention.

No, it's not "officialy" confirmed. The producers will never admit it because this amounts to admit their mistakes on the first film. It's unthinkable from a marketing perspective. We can legitimately think that they rectify the shooting by these changes.
