Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles teaser trailer and TV spot!

You may or may not have already seen this, but I just had to put this up on here when I saw this on Empire Magazine's website:

 

Further details of the plot haven't been released yet but it looks like to me from this first teaser trailer that the director Jonathan Liebesman has made this film a sort of new Spiderman film with Megan Fox being cast as April O'Neil (who in the original story of "The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" was a former lab assistant that becomes the only human friend of the turtles after they save her life from robots and she then helps them in their fight against evil by doing all the work in public that the turtles can't as they live underground in the sewers with their rat sensei Splinter) as a female Harry Osbourne who finds out that her dead father created "The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" so as to create heroes (to paraphrase from this teaser trailer).
 
But I could be wrong it is just a teaser trailer after all!
 
Anyhew...If you are like me and are a fan of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles you'll know that there seems to be missing in this trailer Splinter the rat sensei who teaches the turtles to fight evil using ninjitsu whereas he like to fight using his wooden stick, you needn't worry there will be a Splinter who was as Empire say was played on set by Danny Woodburn who you may or may not recognise as one of the dwarves from "Mirror Mirror" in a performance capture suit but was also voiced by Tony Shalhoub who you may or may not recognise as the alien from Men In Black who has his head blown off but it then regrows his head back.
 
As you can see from this new TV spot:
 
 
 
Whoopi Goldberg, Will Arnett who you may or may not recognise from "Blades of Glory" who played the evil brother of the team Stranz and Fairchild who tries to kill Will Ferrel's character before skating out to perform with his sister as ex American president JFK and Marilyn Monroe, William Fichner who you may or may not recognise from "Batman:The Dark Knight" who played the guy in the mob bank at the start of the film who shot at The Joker with a shotgun and then had a grenade put in his mouth that had a piece of string that was attached to a school bus, Abby Elliott and K. Todd Freeman.
 
Expect this to be unleashed here in the UK on October 17th 2014,-for other release dates for other countries over on IMDb.com-.

Fast and Furious 7 is back on....woohoo!

The Show Must Go On!... Fast and Furious 7 will get made by hook or by crook!...Yes!,- sorry for the Queen reference but it just sprang to mind when I read this exciting piece of news.

Anyhew...yes you are reading this right, all Fast and Furious fans including me can breath a huge sigh of relief as a decision has finally been made by Universal Pictures,-so this will finally stop the wheels of the rumourmill from turning as rumours were flying that Fast and Furious 7 was either going to stop production of this film and start again from scratch or they were going to recast for the film, I don't know how on earth can you recast Paul Walker's part of Brian O'Connor with another actor without angering fans of Fast and Furious with doing it in a Neighbour's TV style (I mean when I say this is that on the TV soap Neighbours they'll sometimes get an actor who plays a part for a while then there's a lame storyline where that character has to go away for a while and then he miraculously comes back to the TV show but a completely different actor has replaced him) and making the storyline shit and not as action packed as the other films minus Tokyo Drift as that for me was the worst so far in the series especially with the guy who had the really bad southern American accent, or angering fans of action movies or petrol heads who will go to see this film which now that I think about it will probably be disappointed all the same if there's no action, no good storyline and no high speed racing like in the other films in the series and I guess as this is Universal Pictures most profitable film franchise the storyline can't be shit as this would lose them money if there were bad reviews and less people going to the cinema to watch this-.

But thankfully...well hopefully fingers crossed this won't happen but according to Variety production for this film has started up again and will be filming in Abu Dhabi and will be released in the UK on 10th April 2015 (this is a date that you should definitely keep for your diary) but check the dates for other countries on IMDb.com, but one thing is for sure that the screenwriter Chris Morgan has drastically altered the script but it's not been said yet how the script has been drastically altered or what they'll do in the movie to say bye bye to Paul Walker, but it seems to according to The New York Daily Times that:

 "...the remaining parts of the scenes that Paul Walker was half way through shooting will be finished off with body doubles and CGI faces...".
