The following are a collection of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 casting updates, a bunch more set photos that reveal some things and then some, and more!

Cinemablend reckon Krang will be causing problems for Raph, Leo, Donny and Mikey in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2. The sequel is still shooting in New York, and according to the site a scene was recently filmed “involving a number of extras and the character’s arrival on Earth through a portal of some sort.” Krang actually first debuted in the original animated series back in the ’80s but has since gone on to be a mainstay in TMNT canon. He’s usually depicted as an uneasy ally of Shredder (Brian Tee), and provides him and his cronies with the alien tech they need to defeat the Turtles.

It looks like Karai will have a larger role in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2, as Deadline report that the character has been recast, with Brittany Ishibashi replacing Minae Noji. Karai’s origins are never alluded to in the first movie, but there have been several variations of them over the years. In classic TMNT lore she’s depicted as being either the daughter or granddaughter of Shredder, but in the new animated series for example, she’s is actually Splinter’s daughter, who’s stolen and raised by Shredder to believe that the Turtles’ sensei is the one responsible for the death of her mother.

Ishibashi most recently appeared in TV shows such as Grace And Frankie, Bones and Emily Owens, M.D., as well as features Everything Before Us and The Harvesting.

Megan Fox (Transformers) and Stephen Amell (Arrow) were spotted filming scenes for Teenage Mutant  Ninja Turtles 2 late last night in New York.
The vigilante ‘Casey Jones’ (Amell) is usually sporting a goalie’s mask and intrepid Channel 6 News reporter ‘April O’Neil’ is usually wearing a yellow jacket, but in order to sneak into the headquarters (One Police Plaza) of the New York police department they wore dark clothes and matching baseball caps.
Check out a video with Fox and Amell and a photo of Will Arnett (‘Vernon Fenwick’) who was also on hand for filming.

Below you can get your first look at Brian Tee as our new Shredder (sans helmet), and Brittany Ishibashi as Karai as they prepare to shoot a scene for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2. In TMNT lore, Karai is usually portrayed as either Shredder’s daughter or granddaughter, but we’re not sure if that’ll be the case here as no mention was made of it in the first movie. There’s also a snap of (presumably) a masked-up member of the Foot Clan.

Some more images from the set of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 have found their way online, and they give us our first look at Shredder’s fan-favourite henchman… before they’re turned into a humanoid warthog and rhino that is. As you can see, that’s Gary Anthony Williams with a pink mohawk as Bebop, and engaging him in sure-to-be stimulating conversation is WWE superstar Sheamus (real name Stephen Farrelly) as Rocksteady. We also have better shots of Brian Tee as Shredder and Brittany Ishibashi as Karai.

We’ve had an official image of the Arrow actor in his Casey Jones hockey mask, and now some new BTS pics provide another look at him as he takes on the Turtles.

These appear to be close-up shots from a scene that was filmed a couple of weeks back, which seemed to feature the first meeting between fan-favourite vigilante Casey Jones and the Turtles. Things got a little heated if Raph’s sai sticking out of that metal is anything to go by! We also have some more pics from the scene in which April (Megan Fox) meets Vern (Will Arnett) and his date Alessandra Ambrosio (Alessandra Ambrosio).

Lastly, Megan Fox has returned yet again on set with the questionable schoolgirl outfit. Who knows how this will play out in TMNT 2 and why it has to be worn is probably the more asked question out of the two.

“Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2″ will hit theaters on June 3, 2016 and stars Megan Fox (April O’Neil), Will Arnett (Vern Fenwick), Stephen Amell (Casey Jones), Brian Tee (Shredder), Tyler Perry (Baxter Stockman), Laura Linney, Gary Anthony Williams (Bebop), Brittany Ishibashi (Karai) and Stephen Farrelly (Rocksteady) in the Paramount sequel. Michael Bay will once again produce with his Platinum Dunes partners Brad Fuller and Andrew Form. David Green is set to direct from a script by Josh Appelbaum and André Nemec.

TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES 2 | A NEWS ROUNDUP

dailynerdaccess Dave Green, Gary Anthony Williams, Laura Linney, Megan Fox, Movie News, Paramount Pictures, Stephen Amell, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Will Arnett

Cowabunga! A bunch of news, set photos & videos, and more have been released online for the upcoming sequel, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2! We have a Bebop casting, an old face returning, and a bunch of other things for you!

Though Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 is currently filming in both Buffalo and New York City, the sequel almost set up shop in another New York locale: Syracuse.

According to producer Brad Fuller, the film seriously considered filming in the town just east of Buffalo while scouting Upstate New York location. Another contestant was Rochester, which is nestled between Buffalo and Syracuse. But according to Fuller, TMNT2’s production ultimately chose Buffalo for the city’s Kensington Expressway, which provided the right environment for a particular scene.

“There are high walls on the side of the highway and that is great for the story and it looks really cool,” Fuller told Syracuse.com. Filming in Buffalo began last week, as the crew filmed numerous car chase scenes with the Turtles’ battlewagon. The main cast however, remained in New York City to film their portions.

According to the Buffalo News, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 will bring as much as $9 million to the small city after receiving a 40 percent tax credit for choosing to film there.

According to Deadline, Bebop will be played by Gary Anthony Williams in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2. No word on who will play his rhinoceros partner in crime Rocksteady just yet, but it’s assumed both characters will be fully CGI once the mutations take place. Before his transformation though, Bebop will apparently be “a punk street thug member of a ragtag gang of misfits who acts as if he’s intellectually superior, but isn’t.”

Laura Linney is playing a member of New York’s finest in the movie, and will probably be tasked with tracking down the awesome foursome and bringing them to justice. Are there any notable female cops in TMNT lore? 

Also spotted on set was Arrow’s Stephen Amell who’ll play Casey Jones, with Raphael actor Alan Ritchson.

Noel Fisher, Jeremy Howard and Pete Ploszek along with Ritchson were on set too, with their CGI turtle suits.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 production crew has been split in two. One team is filming with the principal actors in New York City, while the other crew is filming an elaborate car chase scene up in Buffalo, New York.

The first set of videos features the main cast filming scene at the NYC set with a large green screen behind them. The first video shows that there is some tension between Will Arnett’s character Vernon Fenwick and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, April O’Neil (Megan Fox) and new team member Casey Jones (Stephen Amell). How did this develop since the first film is anyone’s guess. You have to assume it has something to do with the fine clothes and new supermodel girlfriend Vern has been seen wearing and with, respectively.

The next slew of videos showcases the extensive car chase scene that is being filmed on Route 33 in Buffalo. After watching all of the videos I believe I have a good idea of what is going in this scene, sort of. There is a truck being escorted by men on motorcycles. That truck appears to be prisoner transport vehicle that the police commonly use. So we could assume that there is a prisoner inside. It might be a Turtle. As the scene unfolds there are two stuntmen that use welding torches. They appear to be trying to open up the roof to help whoever is inside to escape. Their bulky outfits suggests that they are in fact Turtles, and at some point one of them loses their footing and hangs upside down as the transport vehicles keeps on moving along.

Following all of this are two sporty 3-wheeler vehicles, Polaris Slingshots. And chasing behind them is the Ninja Turtles’ “Battlewagon,” which is a reinforced sanitation truck.

No 2nd Season For CONSTANTINE; ARROW’s Stephen Amell Supports A Renewal

dailynerdaccess Constantine, Daniel Cerone, DC TV Universe, Geoff Johns, Grant Gustin, Jim Lee, Matt Ryan, NBC, Stephen Amell, The CW, TV News

NBC has declined to renew Constantine for a second season…but the show isn’t quite dead yet.

Executive Producer Daniel Cerone broke the news via Twitter, but says that Warner Bros. is still shopping the series around in hopes of finding it a new home.

While the show never drew a huge audience in its difficult Friday night timeslot, where it was meant to serve as a companion piece to Grimm, the adaptation of the popular DC Comics character has found a cult following that is still hoping to #SaveConstantine.

Arrow lead Stephen Amell has came out in full support for his fellow DC TV show – pledging to guest star on it, were it picked up by another suitor. Since then, Amell has revealed that genuine discussions about an Arrow/Constantine crossover have indeed happened in the past, over at DC Entertainment.

While speaking at Wizard World Philadelphia Comic Con, Amell talked candidly about the wildly popular DC TV universe – and the potential for interconnectivity between any of its shows, including Constantine. Check out what he had to say below :

“There is an opportunity for interconnectivity with any DC television show that exists. Like, as an example, yesterday Constantine was cancelled. And there is…yeah, I know, it’s brutal…it’s a good show, and it should come back. And it may come back, like there are various platforms where it could come back.”
“Now, Constantine was an NBC show. I’m on The CW. I had had discussions with DC… so not NBC, not CW… but with DC Entertainment about guest starring on Constantine when it was still on the air. And that was and is still on the table. So we have Flash, we have Legends of Tomorrow, a new show which is directly connected to the Arrow universe, we have Supergirl… I’m sure it’s going to be amazing… there’s Gotham obviously, and I’m missing something… Titans, there you go… we have no shortage of options for me and other characters to populate.”

While it may be difficult to see the supernatural procedural and urban superhero drama meshing together at first, Amell explained that there had always been a very specific reason behind a potential crossover:

“The reason that I was going to guest star on Constantine, at least the idea that we were throwing around was he’s an expert when it comes to the Lazarus Pit, which is now something that is a part of and will continue to be a part of Arrow.””

While it’s dissappointing we never got to see this crossover this year, there may yet be some hope for next season. Amell claimed that the likes of Geoff Johns, Jim Lee and his Flash co-star Grant Gustin had joined him in throwing in their support for a surprise pick-up for Constantine.

A Bunch Of New TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES 2 Set Videos And Photos

Over the past several days, there has been a collection of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 set videos and photos being released. Come check them out if you don’t mind some mild spoilers.

The first video has Arrow star Stephen Amell dressed as ‘Casey Jones’ saving Megan Fox’s ‘April O’Neil’ from a member of Shredder’s Foot Clan. She ran into an alleyway and Casey leaps into the scene, knocking the ninja out cold. Then April’s buddies, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, come face-to-face with her hockey stick wielding hero.


In the second video, Amell has his scuffed up goalie mask resting on his head as he watches, alongside Fox, the motion-captured suited Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles goofing off. Either they’re horsing around during some downtime or rehearsing a scene.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 is currently filming in New York State, and one of the first video from the set has made its way to the media. Judging by the video below, the Michael Bay flare that made the first film so (in)famous is still alive and well in the forthcoming sequel.


Thanks to Movie Hotties, we have a new look at Megan Fox on the set of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2. They don’t reveal an awful lot about the sequel, but we do at least get to see the movie’s logo and April O’Neil hanging out with a couple of the titular heroes.

TMNT 2 | Megan Fox

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 is directed by Dave Green (Earth to Echo) with a script by Josh Appelbaum and André Nemec (Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol). Fox and Amell will be joined by Tyler Perry as Baxter Stockman, Will Arnett as Vern Fenwick, Brian Tee as Shredder, and model Alessandra Ambrosio as herself. Laura Linney also has an undisclosed role.

New BTS TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES 2 Photos; Amell’ Casey Jones, And Fox’s Disguise

Critics didn’t love it and the response from longtime fans was more than a little mixed, but Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was a box office hit last year. It didn’t take long for a sequel to be officially announced, and that’s set to be released on June 3rd, 2016, with the original cast returning alongside new additions Stephen Amell (as Casey Jones) and Tyler Perry (as Baxter Stockman).

So, what’s the verdict? Stephen Amell has already been spotted on set with the hockey stick, but this first official image (not including those vehicle photos) from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 reveals that the Arrow star will have the mask that the character is so well known for.

Megan Fox (Jonah Hex) was spotted filming a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles scene in which she was chased through the streets of New York City.

Fox, who plays intrepid Channel 6 News reporter April O’Neil, ran through oncoming traffic as the Shredder’s clan of ninjas, known as the Foot Clan, leaped over cars as they hunted her down. Why? It probably had to do with the canister Fox can been seen holding onto.

Fox was also seen in the Grand Central Station while filming showing off her disguise(?) as a Britney Spears look alike! Hopefully this explained better in the film more than these set pics thanks to SuperHeroHype.

More set photos, thanks to Just Jared, show Megan Fox running in boots while filming scenes for her upcoming film Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 in New York City. The 28-year-old actress was joined on set by co-star Stephen Amell, who plays her love interest in the film. Later in the day, Megan looked unrecognizable while sporting a blonde wig for a scene.

Stills For THE FLASH Season 1, Episode 22;"Rogue Air"

dailynerdaccess Arrow, Firestorm, Grant Gustin, Reverse Flash, Robbie Amell, Stephen Amell, The CW, The Flash, TV News

The Flash has released new images for its upcoming May 12 episode, “Rogue Air.”

In the episode, Barry Allen must unite with his roguish rival, Captain Cold, to take down the Reverse Flash. But when Cold’s involvement sends Central City into a state of chaos, The Flash then calls upon his fellow superheroes—The Arrow or should I say Al Sah-Him and Firestorm—to help.
You can check out the full gallery and plot synopsis below.

STEPHEN AMELL, ROBBIE AMELL, WENTWORTH MILLER, LIAM MCINTYRE AND DOUG JONES GUEST STAR — As Wells (Tom Cavanagh) once again gets the upper hand on the S.T.A.R. Labs team, Barry (Grant Gustin) realizes he needs to make a big move and reaches out to an old foe, Captain Cold (guest star Wentworth Miller), for help. Joe (Jesse L. Martin) and Caitlin (Danielle Panabaker) warn Barry that Cold can’t be trusted. True to form, Cold has his own agenda that involves the meta-humans trapped in the containment cells. As things seem to be going from bad to worse, The Flash gets reinforcements – Arrow (guest star Stephen Amell) and Firestorm (guest star Robbie Amell). Doug Aarniokoski directed the episode written by Aaron Helbing & Todd Helbing (#122). Original airdate 5/12/2015.

The Flash airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on The CW.

First BTS TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES 2 Show Stephen Amell, Blonde? Megan Fox, And More!

dailynerdaccess Dave Green, Megan Fox, Movie News, Paramount Pictures, Stephen Amell, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Tyler Perry

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 have officially started filming, and what better to kick off production than seeing some brand new set photos featuring Arrow’s Stephen Amell as Casey Jones and Megan Fox who respires her role as April O’Neil from the first film in the franchise! Even though the set photos doesn’t reveal Stephen Amell suited up, it does give us something to speculate!

Tyler Perry (Gone Girl) and Megan Fox (Transformers) were on hand.

Perry is playing mad scientist Baxter Stockman. Below, is our first look at him in costume. You can see him wearing a bow tie, which is something the character is known for wearing in previous iterations. The character is also known for joining forces with Shredder; creating mutant hunting robots called Mousers and transforming into a mutant fly. How much of that will be used in the film is anyone’s guess.

Megan Fox was back on set, but this time her character April O’Neil was spotted wearing a blonde wig. I’m guessing April has the platinum locks so that the Channel 6 News reporter can go undercover.

Click on the images in the tweet below to enlarge.

Also, a Buffalo news station reports that equipment is being brought in as filming will be taking place there soon. Check out the video below to find out if the new Turtle van will make an appearance.

“Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2″ will hit theaters on June 3, 2016 and stars Megan Fox (April O’Neil), Will Arnett (Vern Fenwick), Stephen Amell (Casey Jones), Brian Tee (Shredder) and Tyler Perry (Baxter Stockman) in the Paramount sequel.

New TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES 2 Vehicle Images

dailynerdaccess Dave Green, Michael Bay, Movie News, Paramount Pictures, Stephen Amell, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Franchise producer Michael Bay as today revealed the first official images from the sequel, and along with a new look at the “Tartaruga Brothers” truck we first saw at the end of the last movie, a new vehicle – the Polaris Slingshot – has been unveiled. I’m far from a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles expert, but is this the kind of car that the new Casey Jones could get behind the wheel of?

It’s not exactly hard to imagine Arrow star Stephen Amell in it anyway, and regardless of whether it belongs to a hero or villain, it’s hardly surprising to see a car like this in a movie which Transformers helmer Michael Bay is involved in!

Teenage Mutant Turtles 2 (working title “Half-Shell”) stars Megan Fox as April O’Neil, Will Arnett as Vernon Fenwick, Stephen Amell as Casey Jones, Tyler Perry as Baxter Stockman  is set to hit theaters on June 3, 2016.
