JACKASS Johnny Knoxville Will Voice Leo In TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES

Following a mixed reaction to the recent trailer for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Paramount has hired Jackass (the films are setup at Paramount) founding member Johnny Knoxville to be the new voice of Leonardo, according to Deadline. While Tony Shalhoub will replace Danny Woodburn (Watchmen, Seinfeild's) as the voice of Splinter. Tony recently working with producer Michael Bay on Pain And Gain, might have had something to do with his casting. I'll be interesting to see if the studio looks to hire another well-known actors to voice the other turtles.

Here's hoping they also land Steve-O for Donatello.

FIRST LOOK! Megan Fox As April O'Neil In TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES

Frosty over at Collider is at Cinema-Con, a giant trade show for theatre owners which promotes upcoming features and technology. He was able to snap this interesting shot from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, while at the event. While the site has been poster a ton of title banner images, this actually the first juicy exclusive they've posted. We get a decent shot of Megan Fox as April O'Neil and Will Arnett reacting to something, which is likely from the upcoming trailer.

The project has to be one of the biggest summer secrets, as it remains to be the only summer blockbuster without a trailer. Paramount is still dealing with all the backlash from making the turtles aliens (has since reversed that plot point) and having Michael Bay producing. General audiences and the public believes that Bay is actually the one directing, which could be another problem they'll have to overcome. Mr. Bay is a punchline for directors who make terrible films, and fans already have voiced their distain of his involvement from day-one.

Danny Woodburn Cast As Master Splinter In TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES, Does This Mean Splinter Will Be A New Yorker Not Japanese?

Deadline reports that actor Danny Woodburn (Watchmen, Seinfeld) has been cast as Master Splinter in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle reboot. I'm curious if this means that Splinter's Japanese origin will be changed to a gruff New Yorker. Yet another possible element of the mythology being systematically changed for zero reason.
