“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!

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?

New pictures taken from the set of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie have surfaced and they show Megan Fox (April O’neil) holding a Channel 6 microphone, hinting that Miss Oneil is a Chanel 6 news reporter, much like her 1987 Cartoon debut. check them out below:

A year ago, or so, Ninja Turtles reboot producer, Michael Bay, broke the internet when he announced that the turtles will be aliens from outer space and that the movie will be called Ninja Turtles, removing the words “Teenage Mutant”. Fans went berserk and outraged at the blasphemy. Things did not go any better when a supposed script for the movie leaked proving that not only the Turtles and Splinter are from another planet, but that Shredder is now Colonel Shrader, a military dude who reveals himself at the end of the movie as an alien with spikes coming out of his body.

Things got better for us fans couple weeks ago when Paramount showed the movie logo, at CinemaCon, and the words “Teenage Mutant” were back. And now finally speaking about the controversy to Moviphone, Mr Bay himself confirmed that the Turtles will not be aliens and that the movie will be sticking, very closely, to the source material.  Read more...

The past year has seen some crazy turn of events regarding Paramount’s upcoming TMNT movie reboot. First rumored that the turtles would be aliens, and later confirmed in a leaked script, then Bay officially announces the movie title as “Ninja Turtles” dropping the flagship words “Mutant” and “Teenage”. Things got even worse when paramount announced a delay in production signing the movie being in trouble.

But everything seems to be getting better now, as the script has been rewritten by Evan Daugherty, filming has just started, and to everyone’s surprise, Paramout showed the first logo for the movie during their CinemaCon presentation, and the logo clearly reads “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”

Does this mean our four favorite heroes are once again mutated turtles instead of aliens from another planet ? We sure hope so!
