‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ Actor Alan Ritchson Says “Everything You Read Online Is Wrong”
Alan RitchsonpromisesTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtlesis better than people think. The actor,who is playing Raphaelin theMichael Bay-produced,Jonathan Liebesman-directed film, toldThe Hollywood Reporter"everything you read online" about the film “is wrong.” He said “people assume they know what it’s going to be about, and those people are wrong,” then promised “it’s gonna look way better than anyone can imagine.” Watch the interview below.
Here’s Ritchson’s interview withThe Hollywood Reporter, where he also discusses the latest on the film.
So, do you believe him? He sounds pretty sincere but it’s not like people go into movies thinking they’re going to be bad. Especially not big budget studio projects based on well-known franchises. Nor do actors getting their big break badmouth a film before its been filmed.
Many of the negative preconceptions people have about this film come a script that circulated online a few years back. Bay himselfcame out last yearto say that script was a much, much earlier draft and was not the one they’re shooting. In response, Paramountdelayed the film several monthsto make sure everything was in order. Now, with cameras rolling and additions likeWill ArnettandMegan Fox, one would hope it’s been made into a script like Ritchson describes. One that will exciteNinja Turtlesfans new and old alike.
Directed by Jonathan Liebsman,Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtlesis scheduled for released June 21, 2025. It stars Ritchson,Pete Ploszek,Jeremy HowardandNoel Fisheras the physical actors who will mo-cap the four turtles.
