Noel Fisher, Pete Ploszek and Jeremy Howard Talk Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows

Noel Fisher, Pete Ploszek and Jeremy Howard opened up recently about their new movie, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows. The trio play three out of the four turtles in the movie, Michelangelo, Leonardo and Donatello.

During the interview, Jeremy talked learning the intellectual jargon spoken by Donatello , Noel talked what he was most excited about for this movie, and Pete talked what to expect from his character, Leonardo.

Jeremy on Donatello’s intellectual jargon: He revealed that he had 2-3 months practicing the lines before he actually filmed the scenes, so by the time he was filming the words were second nature to him.

Noel on what he was most excited about for this movie: ” was really excited because the turtles have a really specific arch that you get to see, and it explores that family dynamic that makes the turtles kind of that timeless.

And for Mikey specifically, I really liked the idea that he’s sort of the youngest out of everyone. And so the idea that he might get to be accepted in the rest of society, and not have to necessarily be a turtle anymore is like a really strong pull for him. So I think that was, that was what I really wanted to kind of see what that was like, get back in that teenage, I wanna be like everybody else kind of mode.

Pete on Leonardo: “I think with Leo what I, what was really fun to explore was seeing where his breaking point is. You know, Leo’s always been the leader, the, you know, the do-gooder, the one who’s by the book. And I think because of that a bit of a almost silent sufferer where he won’t show weakness.

Everyone sort of has a breaking point, and it was sort of exploring how, what does it take to push Leo to that edge where he’s gonna speak his mind, and he’s gonna tell these guys how he feels”.

Out of the Shadows will be released this Friday, June 3!
