A Trio Gets To Suit Up For Mo-Cap "Ninja Turtles"

Pete Ploszek will play Leonardo, Jeremy Howard will play Donatello and Noel Fisher will play Michelangelo in the upcoming live-action "Ninja Turtles" reboot at Paramount says Deadline.


The trio joinsThe Hunger Games: Catching Fire co-star Alan Ritchson who will provide the motion capture essence and vocals for Raphael.

Megan Fox stars as human April O'Neil

The film was set to be live-action but then it was decided that the turtles would be brought to life using motion capture/CGI like 2011's "Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes".

Jonathan Liebesman is directing from a script by Kevin Eastman, Josh Appelbaum and Andre Nemec.

Brad Fuller Andrew Form, Galen Walker and Scott Mednick would co-produce with Michael Bay.

Production will begin in April in New York City.

The pic was delayed over script issues--originally slated for release in December 2013 it is now set to be released on June 6th, 2014
