  • Ninja Turtles Reboot Characters Revealed With Photo Leak

    Transformers film series producer Michael Bay has made great strides to conceal the details of his upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film. However, it appears a picture has finally leaked.

    According to UPI, a poster image for the film surfaced on Thursday, Jan. 3o, and is slowly spreading like wildfire all over the web. The image revealed what fans can expect the new-aged ninja turtles to look like.

    The picture, which was initially posted to Reddit, is being coined as an official image associated with Bay‘s forthcoming reboot. Later that day, The Verge reported news of the leaked image.

    Bloggers, media outlets, and film enthusiasts immediately gravitated to the image and can be accredited for its rapid matriculation on the web. However, The Verge immediately updated the article stating that the image had been removed by request of Paramount Pictures.

    While Bay has yet to confirm the authenticity of the image, the film studio leaves little question about its validity due to their abrupt request to have it removed.

    However, the damage had already been done. Although the publication complied with the film studio, the image had already begun circulating around the internet. One film blogger also shared the picture via Twitter. His tweet read, “Michael Bay’s Ninja Turtles look suitably bada–. Can’t imagine Vanilla Ice turning up at the end of this new one…”

    A number of other media reports have also poured in about the film as well.

    The announcement of the came shortly after the original co-creator Peter Laird’s sold the franchise rights to Nickelodeon. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which is being produced by Nickelodeon Movies, is slated to hit theaters nationwide August 8, 2013.

  • Ninja Turtles Photo Leaks: New Images Revealed

    These ain’t your mama’s Ninja Turtles.

    The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles from when the cartoon first debuted a few decades ago have grown up a bit now that they are starring in a movie. Fans were able to sneak a peek of their new images this week when pictures were leaked online. However, as quickly as they popped up, the photos disappeared.

    Director Michael Bay has worked hard to keep the fierce reptiles’ appearances a secret. He did allow pictures of the turtles in motion action suits to be released, but the actual on-screen look has been hidden until the breach.

    Raphael, Leonardo, Donatello and Michelangelo have updated their looks a bit from the cartoon, which debuted in 1987 and was based on a black-and-white comic book series that was published in 1984. Originally, the ninja superstars were to simply have red masks and belts, and were to be distinguished only by their different weapons.

    When the turtles hit the small screen, they each rocked specific colors and monogrammed belts so that young viewers could tell them apart: Leonardo wore blue, Michelangelo favored orange, Donatello looked ravishing in purple and Raphael donned red.

    From the leaked photos, viewers were able to see that Donatello’s look incorporates ancient and modern features. Along with gadgets, Donnie also sported visual elements from ancient Japanese warriors. The gadgets make sense, however, as this turtle isn’t no dummy; he is the most technological of the group.

    Raphael was spotted wearing fabric around his arms and legs, as well as a loin cloth. Michelangelo was a bit more modern with sunglasses, a necklace, shorts and a jacket wrapped around his waist.

    Twitter is pretty excited about the turtle buzz:

    The heroes in a half-shell fight evil and do good for mankind when the movie premieres on August 8, 2014.

  • Ninja Turtles Video Game Coming to Xbox, Wii This Fall

    Though the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie was heavily promoted at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, there are now at least two different Ninja Turtles video games coming out this year.

    Activision during Comic-Con announced Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, a arcade-style beat ’em up side-scroller that is based on the new Nickelodeon TMNT series, including the cartoony art style. Feaaturing four-player local co-op and “multiple gameplay modes,” the title is aimed at new fans of the Ninja Turtles. The game will be released for Xbox 360, Wii, and 3DS on October 22 (the 23rd in Australia and the 25th in Europe).

    This newly announced Turtles game is one of three video games based on the Nickelodeon TMNT series that publisher Activision announced back in February. A separate Ninja Turtles video game, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows, is a downloadable “third-person brawler” that is scheduled to release on August 28 as part of Microsoft’s Xbox Live Summer of Arcade promotion.

    Out of the Shadows appears to be a slightly more mature take on the new Ninja Turtles series, as it carries the ESRB’s “Teen” rating instead of the newly announced game, which carries the “Everyone 10+” rating.

  • New Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Video Games Announced

    Activision and Nickelodeon today announced that they have teamed up to create new video games based on the rebooted Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles TV series that began airing last year. The deal encompasses three video games, the first of which will be released sometime this summer.

    “The fans of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are unique in that they span generations and are very passionate,” said Kurt Niederloh, vice president of Activision Publishing Minneapolis. “We respect this passion and look forward to working with Nickelodeon to create games that embody the spirit of the property.”

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles video games have a storied history. The first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles video game was released for the original Nintendo console in 1989. Though it is considered one of the hardest games of all time, it sold well and is considered a classic. Two arcade games released around the same time, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Arcade Game and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time also went on to become hits and are considered classics of the side-scrolling beat ’em up genre. Since that time, most Ninja Turtles video games have been plagued by the same quality problems seen in many games created to cash in on licensed TV or Movie properties.

    “We are confident that these upcoming games will take gamers through interactive environments and action-packed adventures that truly capture the essence, tone and exciting elements of the Turtles,” said Sherice Torres, SVP of Nickelodeon Consumer Products.

    Here’s hoping.

  • Geek Culture Looked At From A Different Angle

    Is there anything better than a great triangle? The absurdity of that statement just goes to show you how exciting triangles really are. From the Tri-Force to the Bermuda Triangle, the triangle is shrouded in mystery and mysticism.

    Josh Ln knows the pure power of the triangle and he shows his complete mastery of it with these awesome art pieces. Every piece you see here is made exclusively from triangles. He has these 4 but there are a bunch more on his Society 6 page. I did another feature on some of Josh Ln’s artwork last week and he is quickly becoming one of my favorite artists.

    All of these prints are for sale as well as a bunch more geeky art.
