Theaters September 7. Sony.
Based on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Characters Created by Peter Laird and Kevin Eastman (who can forget, right? School afternoon staple!), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Mutant Mayhem hails from director Jeff Rowe and producers Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg & James Weaver (Rogen also provides the voice of a character). It features an amazingly superlative cast, including a host of very diverse performers — heck, who thought we’d see a movie with John Cena, Jackie Chan, Paul Rudd, Post Malone, and Ice Cube all on the credits block!?
After years of being sheltered from the human world, the Turtle brothers set out to win the hearts of New Yorkers and be accepted as normal teenagers through heroic acts. Their new friend April O’Neil helps them take on a mysterious crime syndicate, but they soon get in over their heads when an army of mutants is unleashed upon them.
Micah Abbey, Shamon Brown, Jr., Hannibal Buress, Rose Byrne, Nicolas Cantu, John Cena, Jackie Chan, Ice Cube, Natasia Demetriou, Ayo Edebiri, Giancarlo Esposito, Post Malone, Brady Noon, Paul Rudd,and Maya Rudolph also lend their lungs to the Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon offering.
For the next, bring back Elias Koteas. He was cool.
