The Original ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' Movie Is Coming Back to Theaters With New Footage
The first live-action spin on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles turns 35 this year, and to celebrate, the beloved first entry in the trilogy is making its way back to theaters this summer. But it's not going to be alone: it's accompanied by a behind-the-scenes bonus that includes never-before-seen deleted scenes and footage from making the film.
Announced today by Fathom Entertainment, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will return to theaters for a limited time this August. One of the most delightful comic book adaptations of the '90s, the original has it all—the charming suits that bring Leo, Donnie, Raph, and Mikey to life; Judith Hoag and Elias Koteas creating a pre-Mummy cinematic bisexual crisis as April O'Neil and Casey Jones; and a liberal distrust of the police when it comes to being able to stop a ninja-induced crime wave. And, of course, an all-time Partners in Kryme banger in 'Turtle Power.'
But as well as being able to re-experience the classic film, the re-release will also include the debut of Turtles Unmasked, a new featurette packed with brand-new footage from the making of the film. Running before the movie itself, Unmasked will include a new interview with TMNT director Steve Barron, as well as new looks at deleted scenes from the film and new home-video recorded footage from behind the scenes.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will return to theaters for screenings on August 17 and August 19—tickets are available to pre-order through Fathom Entertainment now.
