“Eric Sachs”.
Yep, it is not Oruku Saki, the great warrior from Japan, no it is a dude called Eric. this is according to the actor playing the role, William Fichtner. I am just not gonna say anything more than this: The shredder’s name is Eric. Below is the actor’s full statement:
“I actually play a guy named Eric Sachs [Sounds like Sachs? Hard to understand] in the movie. And then he goes through a few stages in his existence. But Turtles is coming together very, very cool. There is a whole interesting dynamic that happens in the world of Turtles and all I can really say about it at this point while working on it is that the Turtle film, it’s not like anything that I remember about the Turtles before. I feel like this Michael Bay-produced movie is just gonna really be something else. I’m pretty excited.”
Sigh!

The second chapter of the latest TMNT Arc, City Fall, comes out tomorrow. I had the opportunity to read the issue and all i can say is that is a masterpiece, both in writing and Art. Never a comic issue had some many artist and made it work, beautifully, like IDW’s TMNT #23. Check out the preview below:

In another WTF moment in the series of news coming from the sets of Bay’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, William Fichter has confirmed, in this interview, that he indeed plays the Shredder.
Yes i know he is not asian nor a martial artist. Wether he is the rumored Colonel Shrader (a re-imagining of Oruku Saki into a us army general) or the same bad ass ninja master we love remains to be seen.
While Fichtner is a very talented actor, i still feel that this is pretty messed up if you asked me, but we will see how this turns out and won’t jump to conclusion before seeing the movie when it premieres next year.
What do you guys think?

Review: The wait is finally over, and IDW’sTMNT’s most anticipated arc, City Fall is at hand. The issue dives into the story right for the first page, as we learn The Shredder is Planning Something big. Shredhead’s plan includes capturing Raph and Casey to lure the rest of the turtles into a trap. Without spoiling much, the story is a real page turner and full of shock and awe. The great Tom Waltz is definitely at his finest with Issue #22.
The art is also as beautiful as ever, as Santa Louco’s art is fantastic, especially the fight panels, that feature the most fluid and dynamic drawn action we have seen in a long time. City Fall’s first issue is simply superb and fans where were hyped by the storyline will not be disappointed. All we have to do now is start counting the days until Issue 23 gets released. Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles #22 will hit store shelves tomorrow. Make sure to get your copy!

Next week will mark the debut of an explosive TMNT story arc that will change the turtles forever. The new arc promises twits and surprises as well as characters we have not seen in the IDW continuity. Tom Waltz and KEvin Eastman have sat down with the good folks at CBR to discuss this upcoming event. Below is a part of that interview:
CBR News: With “City Fall” approaching, can you bring readers up to date on what’s been happening with the “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” so far?
Tom Waltz: Well, the Turtles, alongside their father Splinter and good friends April O’Neil and Casey Jones, have experienced a number of highs and lows since we first began the series at IDW. We learned early on that the mutated turtles and their rat father are, in fact, reincarnated ninja from Feudal Japan, having been ruthlessly executed by Splinter’s (nee Hamato Yoshi) arch-rival from that same time period, one Oroku Saki.
