What is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem about?
Paramount describes the film as follows, “In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, 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.”
Back at CinemaCon, Rogen talked about how important it was to have the turtles be “actual teenagers.” When you see the young actors interact or hear their characters together on-screen, it really all clicks into place.
“I love these characters — they were weird, noble, brave and smart,” Rogen recently said of the decision to go a bit younger for the heroes this time around. “When I got the opportunity to put my own stamp on it, I knew the versions that had come before had never leaned into the teenage element. We thought: ‘What if we cast actual teenagers and we capture their insane teenage energy?’”
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem opens in theaters on August 2nd.
