The Original TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES Movie Heads Back to Theaters for 35th Anniversary — GeekTyrant
Before superhero blockbusters took over the multiplex, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles snuck into theaters and kicked off a cultural phenomenon. Now, 35 years later, Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo are coming back… at least for a limited time. To celebrate the 1990 film's 35th anniversary, Fathom Entertainment is bringing the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie back to the big screen for two special dates: Sunday, August 17, and Wednesday, August 20. And fans are getting more than just a nostalgic revisit. Directed by Steve Barron and produced by New Line Cinema, the original film wasn't just a huge hit, it was a landmark. With the help of Jim Henson's Creature Shop, the Turtles were brought to life using state-of-the-art animatronic suits and puppetry. The result was a gritty, funny, and surprisingly faithful adaptation that fans of the franchise loved! Fathom Entertainment CEO Ray Nutt summed up the spirit of the event, saying, 'Few titles in recent memory have as large and rabid a fanbase as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It's Turtle Time, and Fathom Entertainment is proud to be part of Turtlemania and help make possible a 35th anniversary celebration like no other on the big screen. Moviegoers across generations will revel in the action and excitement.' Adding to the experience, audiences will also get to see Turtles Unmasked, a brand-new featurette that digs into the behind-the-scenes madness of making the film. Produced alongside the team behind TMNT: Evolution, Mutation & Reboot, the mini-doc includes never-before-seen archival footage, extended scenes that didn't make the final cut, and even personal video diary footage from director Steve Barron reflecting on the film's production challenges. If you're a fan of this movie this is your chance to relive the turtle-powered magic with a crowd of fellow fans! The trailer for the 35th anniversary rerelease may be viewed below.

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. Want more io9 news?

In a statement on the day of the last edition to be printed locally, Mr Wishart said: 'A few weeks ago I feared that not only our family ties to the paper, but the newspaper itself was finished. 'Now I'm delighted that Steve Barron and Highland News & Media have raced to ensure continuity of production following our abrupt decision to end printing of the paper at Gremista.'

'These values are closely aligned with our own. 'The method of consumption may be changing, but local news is as important as ever. By supporting our new colleagues in Shetland, we'll make sure that their important work continues.
