The 'TMNT' remake project has tapped Pete
Ploszek, Noel Fisher and Jeremy Howard to play the other ninja turtles after
Alan Ritchson was cast as Raphael.
Following Alan Ritchson who has signed on to
play Raphael in "Ninja Turtles", three other actors are added to the
cast of the movie. Deadline reported that Pete Ploszek, Noel Fisher and Jeremy
Howard have been tapped to play Leonardo, Michelangelo and Donatello
respectively.
In the film, Leonardo is considered the
leader of the crime-fighting quartet. The turtle who wears blue bandana has two
katanas as his weapons. Michelangelo who wears the orange bandana is the most
light-hearted and friendly of the turtles. His weapons are dual nunchaku. The
other turtle is Donatello who is often portrayed as second-in-command. He wears
a purple bandana and his weapon is bo staff.
Ritchson, Ploszek, Fisher and Howard join
Megan Fox who was earlier cast to play human TV reporter pal April O'Neil. The
film is expected to announce who will portray the villain, Shredder, soon.
The four actors who play the turtles are
relatively newcomers. Alan Ritchson will play Gloss in "The Hunger Games:
Catching Fire". Ploszek has guest starred on "Shameless", while
Fisher is a regular on the Showtime series as well as appearing in "The
Twilight Saga's Breaking Dawn Part II". Meanwhile, Howard stars on
"Breaking Bad" and "Entourage".
To be directed by Jonathan Liebesman, the
film has its script written by Josh Appelbaum, Andrew Nemec, Art Marcum, Matt
Holloway and John Fusco, based on the characters created by Peter Laird and
Kevin Eastman. It is scheduled to be released in U.S. theaters on June 6, 2014.
