The teaser trailer for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles gave us our first look at the reimagined reptiles in action, as well as a brief glimpse of The Shredder (William Fichtner) and a few shots of April O’Neil (Megan Fox). Conspicuous by his absence, however, was Master Splinter, but a new TV spot solves that problem. We only catch a quick glimpse of the character, and he’s mostly in silhouette, but it’s better than nothing. Check it out below, courtesy of IGN.
Directed by Jonathan Liebesman and produced by Michael Bay, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles opens on August 8.
The city needs heroes. Darkness has settled over New York City as Shredder and his evil Foot Clan have an iron grip on everything from the police to the politicians. The future is grim until four unlikely outcast brothers rise from the sewers and discover their destiny as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The Turtles must work with fearless reporter April and her wise-cracking cameraman Vern Fenwick to save the city and unravel Shredder’s diabolical plan.
