The folks over at i09.com have given us a much clearer description of what they saw at Cinemacon. Check it out below! 



<blockquote>"Moving on to the actual meat of the trailer, it starts with William Fichtner (who plays Shredder) giving a gravely voice over and a God's-eye view of (what I'm presuming is) New York City at night. "Crime, violence and fear have run rampant. Our great state is being destroyed. People want justice restored.... people want heroes, Ms. O'Neil." Which means he's talking to Megan Fox's character O'Neil.

Cut to shots of the sewers and members of the Foot Clan storming the sewers and running about on the streets. Note: The Foot have an interesting new look, the purple hood has been replaced with a shiny (ish) mask over the cloth hood. It's like a mask on top of a mask. The quick cuts in the sewer continue, and then you realize that April O'Neil is trying to record some sort of ninja happenings in a dark sewer with her iphone. Always the reporter, that April.

Ficthner's voice over continues, "Heroes are not born, they're created... That was what your father and I were trying to do. Create heroes." WHAAAAAAT that means April O'Neil's father helped Shredder to create the Turtles which, WHAAAAT!!!!

Cut to a shot of a laboratory with lots pipes and one giant clear cylinder. Exceptionally similar to TMNT-inspired toys and ooze sets.

William Fichtner reappears to give a profile shot facing the mask of Shredder! The mask looks GREAT.

A close up shot on a clear canister with the letters "TCRI" on the side which could stand for "Techno Global Research Industries" or "Techno Cosmic Research Institute," depending on which way this movie wants to take the science. And inside, beautiful green ooze!

Cut to a snow scene. The Turtles are sliding around down a snowy mountain. The scene is fast but it looks like they are using their shells for snowboards. One Turtle yells out "batter up!" So that's the first evidence that this movie adaptation is trying to capture the childlike innocence of the turtles. No one says cowabunga — which is sad, but I'm guessing that's probably been cut due to it being no longer culturally relevant.

One turtle slides out on the mountain, and an Army truck cuts him off. He hits the truck shell first in slow motion and the whole thing just smashes to bits. It's very delightfully Michael Bay, in the best of ways. It looks like the truck kind of tickled the turtle.

And now the big reveal. April O'Neil is running away from something on a roof. Leonardo crashes down in front of her with a massive thud. She turns around and there's Michelangelo with his hands up pleading with April to stop, "Woah. It's just a mask, don't freak out." He takes off his tiny little orange mask revealing the face of a anthropomorphic turtle. With, really sweet cute baby eyes and amazing skin. "See?" April passes out. THE END. No Splinter, yet. Unless he's April's Dad."</blockquote> 

So, what do you think? With the trailer only a day away, premiering tomorrow morning, we can expect to get out first glimpse of the Turtles themselves, as well as a peek at the Shredder.

"No Splinter, yet. Unless he's April's Dad."
It probably won't happen, but just the idea of Splinter being April's father scars me.

Or they could be saving it for the movie, you know for a big awesome fan service moment? then again knowing the director i [frick]ing doubt that.

Hmmm, could the "C" in TCRI stand for Cosmic or Global...? hmmmm... (fail).

I do love that April's dad works for TCRI, though. It makes up for April being a reporter. And I love that Shredder is also behind the Turtles creation. He's gotta be an Utrom, now, right?

I don't like the fact that they're gonna be making the turtles crime-fighters, though. That is a bit regressive, really.

And this being Michale Bay, I would have been dissapointed if an army vehicle did not explode.

I'm dying to see how they look.

Also, no-one saying "Cowabunga" is not sad, it is good. I hope to shit no-one says Cowabungs. If they do, at least make it Mikey and make it painless.

I'm kind of confused I never really got into TMNT, but I've seen people say "making them crime fighters" is a bad thing? Didn't they fight crime? Idk what to expect from this movie since I was never a TMNT fan.

Cowabunga will be in the movie. I bet money Mikey will say it once durign the final battle or in that scene that was shown in the trailer.

@ArmoredAsgaardian They always fought crime, I don't get where people are coming from by saying doing that is a bad thing since they've been doing it from the start.

They were never meant to be crime-fighters.
Raphael occasionally teams up with his vigilante buddy, Casey Jones, but that's about it. I mean, they do get caught up in things that makes them fighting criminals or stopping crimes, but they're not like "Crime-fighters", y'know, like Spider-Man. They're not superheroes.
The '80s cartoon portrayed them as crime-fighters and so did the shoddy live action show and the first sequel, but that's about it.

Yeah, didnt the original TMNT comics have the turtles fighting crime, in a gritty dark setting and portrayed them kinda violently?
I don't think they were the same pizza-eating, cowabunga guys that we're used to seeing.

But I like the edgy, NYC crime setting that I've seen from the images and the turtles look bigger and more like they could easily kick ass.

So funny to see that some fans really care about the turtle-lore that much!..

for me the key ingredient for an awesome turtles films are Sewers, Ninja fights, 90s/80s NewYork, Humour, And an serious Boss Fight and some brotherlove.

Nothing more.
