Hunger Games star to play a Ninja Turtle

“Hunger Games : Catching Fire” and “Smallville” star Alan Ritchson will play Raphael in the new “Ninja Turtles” movie, says Deadline.

We won’t actually be seeing Ritchson’s pretty face on screen, he’ll be hiding behind a Turtle mask – doing the performance-capture thing James Cameron perfected in “Avatar”.

That’s one turtle down, three to go!

Megan Fox plays April O’Neill in the he Jonathan Liebesman-directed live-action/CGI feature, due 2014.
