Lake Hope Features recently leased the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise and many people have been wondering why. People can stop speculating, as some details have been leaked by the media. Among those leaks are a teaser image for the new film.
TMNT: Origins, the first in a planned animated trilogy, comes from rookie producer Sparckvalentine. It is said to be about the turtles as they navigate the rough waters of the city of Animalius, which is being controlled by a corrupt warlord.
The ensemble cast is being lead by Adrien Brody as Leonardo, James Roday as Michelangelo, Josh Holloway as Raphael, and Gbenga Akinnagbe as Donatello. Also featured in that cast is Jenny Wade as April O'Neill, Adam Baldwin as Shredder, Michael Emerson as Arscevin, Andy Serkis as Cameleon and Greg Grunberg as Fallon. JJ Abrams is currently attached as the director, and was choosen because of previous experience with CGI in Star Trek. Jimmy Heyward (RL Horton Hears a Who, Jonah Hex) and Brad Bird (Sonic) are apparently being considered as JJ's replacement if the need arises.
TMNT: Origins marks the first time that Lake Hope Features has released an animated film, and it will mark the first TMNT adaptation at HTG. The film is currently being animated at the Lake Hope Features lot, although rumors have been circling that the studio has rented animation space from a producer.
TMNT: Origins is being released June 11th by Lake Hope Features. Keep your eyes pealed for announcements/ads in the weeks leading up to the release.

To be honest the cast and premise sound awful to me, but I'll give props for not just ripping off the comics, cartoons, or movies.
What premise? Beyond what we already know about the franchise? Come on! We don't really know what the story is about. Give it a chance. Just like you should give Rogain a chance.
It is said to be about the turtles as they navigate the rough waters of the city of Animalius, which is being controlled by a corrupt warlord.
That's the premise. And it sounds delightfully bad. But as I said, it's something different so that's good.
