We haven't heard much about the new live-action
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film. Latino Review received an image, with no further explanation, that could be our first look at how the Turtles may appear.
UPDATE: The image is not from any movie.
Latino Review has updated its original story after this picture had made the internet rounds. Some people familiar with the mask recognized it and responded. Kevin over at
Fused Film tracked down the artist who is simply working on this as part of his formal education.
Hello, Kevin!
I am, in fact, the owner of the image. This is simply a portfolio shot of a animatronic head i did for class, in my fourth semester of attending the "Tom Savini Special Make-up Effects Program".
It's posted on my facebook as well as a popular FX related message board "The Effects Lab". I have no idea who sent it to Latino Review, with the assumption that it had to do with the upcoming TMNT film.
In all of MY posts of this project, i stress it was a class project, and nothing more. How it blew up to this is beyond me. But I'd be lying if i said i didn't enjoy the hell out of it! Especially seeing people's opinions on it when they think it is truly a concept for the film! It's a great honor to see my project so well received by many hardcore TMNT fans. It's also fun to see the people who HATE that direction of the characters.
Either way, i had a good laugh! Sorry i can't help you with who exactly sent it in. But i can dismiss it! If you have nay other questions, please feel free!
