Paramount Pictures has changed the release date for their live-action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot, formerly titled Ninja Turtles (back when the turtles were to be aliens, rather than mutants. That idea was scrapped). It was originally supposed to be released on June 6, 2014, but the film is now scheduled to hit the big screen on August 8, 2014.

The movie is being produced by Michael Bay and directed by Jonathan Liebesman, and it stars Megan Fox in the role of April O’Neil, Alan Ritchson as Raphael, Jeremy Howard as Donatello, Pete Ploszek as Leonardo, Noel Fisher as Michelangelo, Will Arnett as Vernon Fenwick, Danny Woodburn as Master Splinter, and William Fichtner as Shredder.
