Charles Ratteray ("Buffy the Vampire Slayer") is a professional concept and storyboard artist, who has worked on numerous big-budget productions. He recently designed storyboards for the Michael Bay-produced Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which he posted on his fansite. They reveal a slightly different encounter between April O'Neil (Megan Fox) and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on a rooftop in New York.

As you'll surely remember, after the Foot Soldiers were defeated by the Turtles, April chases after them. She climbs up a building via a fire escape. Once she gets to the top she sees her shadowy heroes celebrating their accomplishments and she snaps a picture of them. The storyboards below, feature this scene but with some different dialogue and a harsher reaction to April's candid photo. Instead of Donnie wiping the image from April's phone, it is crushed by one of them. Check it out.
The city needs heroes. Darkness has settled over New York City as Shredder and his evil Foot Clan have an iron grip on everything from the police to the politicians. The future is grim until four unlikely outcast brothers rise from the sewers and discover their destiny as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The Turtles must work with fearless reporter April and her wise-cracking cameraman Vern Fenwick to save the city and unravel Shredder’s diabolical plan.

TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES directed by Jonathan Liebesman ("Wrath of the Titans"), and produced by Michael Bay ("The Rock"). The script was written by Josh Appelbaum and André Nemec, based on characters created by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird. The cast includes: Megan Fox as April O'Neil, Alan Ritchson as Raphael, Noel Fisher as Michelangelo, Danny Woodburn as Splinter, Jeremy Howard as Donatello, Pete Ploszek as Leonardo, Will Arnett as Vernon and William Fichtner as Shredder. It lands in theaters August 8, 2014.

Those Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ACTUALLY look like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Not the stupid designs we got with their unnecessary clothes and accessories we got in the film. However, is it just me or is April really clumsy in those storyboards? I know she's scared but the chick is falling down more than Gerald Ford. lol

But man... what a shitty movie. The only reason it's making bank right now is because of dumb kids and no good alternatives for people to see but the reboot is nowhere to the quality or critical or audience acclaim "Guardians of the Galaxy" has and it'll never be what the 1990's "TMNT" movie is. That movie owned.
